Claim 25:
26. A method of utilizing a hydraulic fracturing unit profile to operate a plurality of hydraulic fracturing units for a hydraulic fracturing system, the method comprising:
providing a supervisory controller positioned to communicate with a pump controller of a pump of each of the plurality of hydraulic fracturing units and an engine controller of an engine of each of the plurality of hydraulic fracturing units and configured to obtain data from the pump controller and the engine controller of each of the plurality of hydraulic fracturing units;
determining a status of the pump controller of each of the plurality of hydraulic fracturing units via the supervisory controller;
in response to the determining of the status of the pump controller of each of the plurality of hydraulic fracturing units:
obtaining pump maintenance data and pump event and alarm history data for the pump of each of the plurality of hydraulic fracturing units, and
determining a pump maintenance cycle for the pump of each of the plurality of hydraulic fracturing units based on the pump maintenance data and the pump event and alarm history data;

determining a status of the engine controller of each of the plurality of hydraulic fracturing units via the supervisory controller;
building a hydraulic fracturing unit profile via the supervisory controller for each of the plurality of hydraulic fracturing units including data and characteristics of the pump and the engine;
determining a subset of the plurality of hydraulic fracturing units to use for a hydraulic fracturing operation via the supervisory controller based on each hydraulic fracturing unit profile; and
controlling at least one of the pump or the engine of the subset of the plurality of hydraulic fracturing units during operation of the plurality of hydraulic fracturing units.
