A docking station and a method for connecting a mobile communication device to an at least partially wire-based communication infrastructure are disclosed. The docking station has a cradle for the storage of the communication device. A detection device detects the presence of the communication device within a selected distance from the docking station and receives authentication information from the communication device. There is also an authentication device for validating the credentials of the communication terminal and for enabling communication with the communications infrastructure on the basis of authentication information. A first interface provides a first wireless communication link with the communication device and a second interface establishes a second wired communication link to the communication infrastructure. A transfer device can switch from the first communication link to the second communication link. A communication system containing the docking station is also disclosed.

A data collection system pertaining to one embodiment of the present invention collects time-series data which is output from sensors installed on equipment which is a monitored object and carries out detecting an abnormality of the equipment. The data collection system stores plural fault models as data for comparison with time-series data and, in a learning process, determines a range to examine within time-series data by comparing the time-series data with each one of the fault models. An abnormality detection process includes extracting a partial frequency spectrum to examine from the frequency spectrum of time-series data, using information on the range to examine within the time-series data determined through the learning process, and carrying out detecting an abnormality of the equipment using the extracted frequency spectrum.

A green sand treatment equipment monitoring system that detects that the condition of green sand treatment equipment is deteriorating before the green sand treatment equipment fails, or detects that the quality of green sand treated by the green sand treatment equipment and kneaded sand produced from the green sand is deteriorating before it becomes clear that the green sand and the kneaded sand are defective products. The system including: an information collecting device that collects, in real time, data measured by equipment within green sand treatment equipment; and a diagnostic device that compares, in real time, the collected data with a control value, and displays a diagnosis result if the diagnostic device determines that the collected data has deviated from the control value.

Systems and methods for generating a facilities report are described herein. A user- chosen series of questions can be automatically generated by accessing the storage after a user has chosen a facility system category. Survey data can be received based on received responses to the user-chosen series of questions. Picture and/or video data of model information can be received for a building element at the existing property. The picture and/or video data can be automatically associated with the existing property based on GPS identification for the existing property. A facilities report can be automatically generated for the existing property. A GUI can be presented allowing a user to associate picture and/or video data with various facilities by confirming that a file for a particular facility should be accessed and/or opened.

The present invention relates to a precise predictive maintenance method for a driving unit and a configuration thereof includes a first base information collecting step S10 of collecting change information of an energy size, a second base information collecting step S20 of collecting a peak interval from the change information of the energy size, a setting step S30 of setting an alarm gradient value for the peak interval, and a detecting step S40 of detecting the driving unit as an abnormal state.

A motion system and method of managing health of the motion system uses at least one multi-dimensional motor operational parameter (MOP) model and motion variables used by a servo drive of the motion system to calculate at least one health indication value for the motion system. The health indication value is used to generate a notification for maintenance of the motion system.

Provided is a method for forecasting future operating states of machine components, which includes the respective machine component considered, a parameter that is selected that is representative of the state of the machine component, the parameter is recorded as a measured value during ongoing use of the machine component and, taking into account the use case for which the machine component is used, the measured value recorded is fed into an automatically running process for finding a recommendation for action. A system is also disclosed.

Reducing nuisance notifications from building automation systems is described herein. One device includes a memory, and a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to receive a notification of an alarm from a building automation system, compare attributes of the alarm to attributes of alarms included in a database of suppressed alarms, refrain from transmitting a notification of the alarm to a mobile device in response to the attributes of the alarm matching attributes of any of the alarms in the database, and transmit a notification of the alarm to a mobile device in response to the attributes of the alarm not matching the attributes of any of the alarms in the database.
