5. A status-determining system for determining a status of one machine component of multiple machine components of a machine based on a digital machine model, the status-determining system comprising:
a component manufacturer determining device to determine component manufacturer data of the multiple machine components;
a machine manufacturer determining device to determine machine manufacturer data of the multiple machine components that describes an arrangement and/or connection interaction of the one machine component with another machine component of the multiple machine components;
a machine operator determining device to determine machine operator data of the multiple machine components that describes:
a use, an operating condition, an operating time, a power level, a load, a temperature, an ambient condition, an air humidity level, and/or a contamination level; and
a status determining device to:
determine whether the one machine component constitutes a risk of failure of the machine by linking the determined component manufacturer data, the determined machine manufacturer data, and the determined machine operator data; and
based on the risk of failure determined by the linking, determine maintenance information and ordering information, wherein
the digital machine model is generated from a design system, and
the digital machine model describes the multiple machine components.
