Abstract: A method for augmenting procedures at production equipment includes: linking a first description of a first step in a procedure and a capture type to a first capture field; generating a digital draft procedure comprising descriptions of steps extracted from the procedure and the first capture field specifying data capture of the first capture type from an equipment unit; generating augmented guidance for the first step in the procedure based on visual content recorded by a mobile device—assigned to an exemplary operator—during completion of the first step in the digital draft procedure; linking the augmented guidance to a location proximal the equipment unit based on locations of the first mobile device during completion of the first step in the digital draft procedure; and generating an augmented digital procedure based on steps in the procedure, the augmented guidance, and definitions for data capture according to the first capture field.

Abstract: One variation of a method for automatically capturing data from non-networked production equipment includes: detecting a location of a mobile device within a facility, the mobile device manipulated by an operator while performing a step of an augmented digital procedure at a machine in the facility; estimating a position of a display on the machine relative to a field of view of an optical sensor in the mobile device based on the location of the mobile device and a stored location of the machine within the facility; in response to the position of the display falling within the field of view of the optical sensor, selecting an image captured by the optical sensor; extracting a value, presented on the display, from a region of the image depicting the display; and storing the value in a procedure file for the augmented digital procedure completed at the machine.

Abstract: A method for automatically generating a digital procedure includes, during a set-up period: aggregating an equipment manual and instructional blocks associated with an equipment unit into a data container; correlating data, in the data container, with a set of language signals; and aggregating the set of language signals into a procedure authoring model characteristic of a procedure convention for performing steps of instructional blocks by an operator at the equipment unit. The method also includes, during a deployment period: receiving an authoring request; detecting the set of language signals in the authoring request; correlating text, in the authoring request, to an action signal related to the equipment unit; and based on the action signal and the procedure authoring model, generating a sequence of instructional blocks predicted to yield an outcome of the request.

Abstract: A method for predicting batch yield includes: accessing a batch range specification defining a set of batch ranges for characterizing batch output upon completion of a performed instance of a verified digital procedure; and, in response initiating an instance of the verified digital procedure detecting a set of manufacturing inputs in the verified digital procedure and receiving a set of parameters corresponding to the set of manufacturing inputs from the operator. The method also includes: identifying a batch yield of the instance of the verified digital procedure as corresponding to a target batch range in the set of batch ranges; interpreting a process change resulting in the batch yield based on the set of parameters and a target set of parameters; isolating a parameter associated with the process change; and initializing a new digital procedure characterizing the process change based on the verified digital procedure and the first parameter.

Abstract: One variation of a method for autonomously delivering supplies to operators within a facility includes, accessing an instructional block defining: a location within the facility; and a target offset distance between an autonomous cart and an operator proximal the location. The method also includes: maneuvering the autonomous cart carrying a set of materials to a position within the facility proximal the location; and accessing a video feed from an optical sensor coupled to the autonomous cart. The method further includes: extracting a set of features from the video feed; interpreting a set of objects depicted in the video feed based on the set of features; and calculating an offset distance between a first object in the video feed and the autonomous cart. The method also includes, in response to the offset distance deviating from the target offset distance, maneuvering the autonomous cart to the target offset distance.
