Abstract
In various embodiments, a method includes receiving one or more sensor streams with an engine. The engine identifies one or more actions that are performed at first and second stations of a plurality of stations within the sensor stream(s). The received sensor stream(s) and identified one or more actions performed at the first and second stations are stored in a data structure. The identified one or more actions are mapped to the sensor stream(s). The engine characterizes each of the identified one or more actions performed at each of the first and second stations to produce determined characterizations thereof. Based on one or more of the determined characterizations, automatically producing a recommendation, either dynamically or post-facto, to move at least one of the identified one or more actions performed at one of the stations to another station to reduce cycle time.
