A clock which turns on when a device is activated will record in a most simplistic way and can be done in a more complex fashion if one so desires. Most parts have a predictable life and manufactures provide engineering info but certainly does not reflect exact
time line. That provides an initial baselline which one can use and then refine based on experience and good engineering judgement and knowledge of the factors used in the guidelines.
The above is only one input for forecasting and additional criteria is required. Manny industiral places are totaly automated
and use actual measurements in real time. The data provides for collection, analysis, level of alarm and applied action based on
engineered logic. In some cases corrective action is implemented.
The right level of data acquisition, monitoring, and logic is required for meaningfull application to a task.
The time and distance is useful but certainly not complete for what you want to do. All i use the time and distance log is to get an idea of machining time.
