Abstract:
A computer system (10) for logistics, maintenance, and operations data visualization and method thereof are disclosed. The computer system is configured to receive maintenance and repair data from multiple sources on a platform, and uses maintenance codes and their respective narrative descriptions, part numbers, and other maintenance coding information as a basis for finding inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the received data. The system is also configured to correct these mismatches (refining of data) and perform multiple analysis functions of the refined data (most common occurrences, most frequently removed parts, repairs requiring most maintenance labor hours, highest-cost replacements, etc.). In addition, the system is also configured to calculate cost per operating hour/mile/day/etc., tracks removal of warranted components, and contains a predictive capability that becomes more accurate as additional data is acquired and continuously updated (data minding).

Un appareil de contrôle d'axes d'essieu comprend i) un banc de contrôle (BC) chargé de recevoir un axe d'essieu tabulaire (AE) comportant une paroi (PA) présentant des profils de rayons extérieur et intérieur variables et connus, ii) au moins une sonde à ultrasons (SU) chargée d'analyser au moins une portion choisie de cette paroi (PA) dans un secteur angulaire choisi et ainsi d'acquérir des données d'analyse, iii) des moyens de contrôle (MC) chargés de piloter le banc de contrôle (BC) afin de placer chaque sonde (SU) sur la surface externe (SE) ou interne (SI) de la paroi (PA) en au moins un premier endroit choisi en fonction de ses profils et d'un éventuel encombrement de l'axe (AE) afin qu'elle analyse des premières et deuxièmes portions choisies de la paroi (PA) respectivement dans au moins un premier et au moins un deuxième secteur angulaire choisi, orienté suivant des premier et second sens longitudinaux ou transversaux opposés, et qu'elle acquière ainsi des données d'analyse pour différentes positions angulaires relatives de l'axe par rapport à elle, et iv) des moyens de traitement (MT) chargés de constituer à partir de ces données d'analyse des cartes représentant les orientations transversales ou longitudinales et les positions d'indications d'échos au sein de la paroi (PA).
Abstract:
L'invention concerne un dispositif d'aide au diagnostic d'au moins un dysfonctionnement d'un véhicule, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend : un terminal de sélection (10) pour sélectionner au moins une donnée symptôme parmi une pluralité de données (31 ) symptômes connues stockée dans une première base de données (30) connectée ou destinée à être connectée (C1 ) au terminal de sélection (10), ladite pluralité de données (31 ) symptômes connues étant fonction des données connues (41 ) caractéristiques des composants du véhicule (20), stockées dans une seconde base de données (40) connectée ou destinée à être connectée (C4) à la première base de données (30); un outil de diagnostic (50), connecté ou destiné à être connecté (C2, C3, S) au véhicule (20), à la première base de données (30) de manière à initialiser l'outil de diagnostic (50) au moyen de la ou les donnée(s) symptôme(s) sélectionné(s) et à une seconde base de données (40) dans laquelle sont stockées des données connues (41 ) caractéristiques des composants du véhicule (20).
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus and methodology for identifying tire locations associated with a vehicle (10). Sensed variations in tire related parameters are measured as a vehicle traverses a known or ascertainable travel path (fig. 3). Data accumulated over one or more measurement windows may be analyzed to determine the location of each individual tire (20) associated with a vehicle (10). Measurements and accumulation of data may be initiated upon detection of a stationary vehicle state exceeding a predetermined time, a predetermined lateral acceleration, and/or a predetermined vehicle speed.
Abstract:
A method and a system for network based automatic inspection of vehicles which detects the location and time instants of said vehicle at predefined and configurable points and provides point readouts at said location. Images of the vehicle are captured and the detected location, time instants and the images are sent to a computing system. The images are processed to form a composite image automatically adjusting the intensity and contrast for improving the visual clarity of the processed image. These images are compared with pre-captured images stored in the database at the computing system.
Abstract:
A diagnostic application or system 100 for a power machine is disclosed. The diagnostic application or system 100 generates a diagnostic menu 142 to select one or more diagnostic items 146 for diagnostic monitoring. Sensor data for the selected items 146 is retrieved from one or more sensors 108 and displayed on an electronic display device 124. In the embodiments described, the application or system includes a graphical user interface component 122 configured to generate a display options menu 200 including one or more user selectable display formats or options 202.
Abstract:
The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates providing a safety mechanism associated with a protective zone in an industrial automation environment. An radio frequency identification (RFID) component can receive data from an RFID tag to identify a location. A safety component can employ a safe mode to a device based at least in part upon the location to employ a protected zone in proximity with the device.
Abstract:
A method and system for user-initiated vehicle email notifications in which an owner or user of the vehicle initiates the generation and transmission of an email message that provides diverse types of dynamic vehicle information to the owner or other authorized subscriber. The email notification can be triggered at the vehicle using the vehicle's telematics unit or from anywhere by a call to a call center that then communicates with the vehicle. Notifications can also be triggered by different events, some of which are independent of the vehicle (e.g., a monthly trigger), and others of which occur at the vehicle, such as a mileage or low oil life trigger. The notification system builds and sends to the subscriber an email message that contains the dynamic vehicle information and identifies any detected vehicle condition for which action is needed.
Abstract:
A vehicle email notification system and method in which templates are used to automatically generate email messages that provide the recipient with diverse types of dynamic vehicle information. The email notifications are triggered by different events, some of which are independent of the vehicle (e.g., a monthly trigger), and others of which occur at the vehicle, such as a mileage or low oil life trigger. The notification system selects an appropriate template based on the type of trigger and uses that template to build and send to the subscriber an email message that contains the dynamic vehicle information and identifies any detected vehicle condition for which action is needed. In addition to trigger type, different templates can be defined for each combination of vehicle type (e.g., make of vehicle), trigger type, and a language preference (e.g., English, Spanish).
Abstract:
A vehicle email notification system and method that accesses data from the vehicle as well as from one or more other sources and combines the information into an email that is then sent to the owner or other authorized subscriber. The email notifications are triggered by different events, some of which are independent of the vehicle (e.g., a monthly trigger), and others of which occur at the vehicle, such as a mileage or low oil life trigger. The notification system builds and sends to the subscriber an email message that contains the dynamic vehicle information and identifies any detected vehicle condition for which action is needed.
