Abstract:

Methods and systems are provided for enhancing performance of a system that includes a plurality of components. A server is coupled to a scanning device that is configured to scan a first component of the plurality of components for an identifier that uniquely identifies the first component. The server receives, from the scanning device, an identification of the first component of the plurality of components. The server also determines an operating parameter that is uniquely related to the first component, compares the operating parameter to a predefined baseline for the first component, and determines whether the first component is a rogue component.
