From the performance data, it can tell what kind of problem is occurring and also predict probable component failure. Then the system will try to heal itself. If it sees no improvement, AI Doctor will notify the nearest service centre with customer's contact.

Then the respective service centre will check the AI Doctor-generated root cause analysis and the service expert will reach at the door of the customer for providing swift after-sales service.
