A method includes determining, based on physical characteristics indicated by first data, a plurality of sensor operations associated with a plurality of structures. The method further includes updating a structural health management system to indicate the plurality of sensor operations and, after updating the structural health management system, sending a plurality of notifications to the plurality of portable field devices. The method further includes receiving, in response to sending the plurality of notifications, second data from the plurality of portable field devices indicating results of the plurality of sensor operations. The results are generated by a plurality of tools used to perform the plurality of sensor operations. The method further includes performing, based on the results of the plurality of sensor operations, a plurality of remote structural health monitoring operations to determine one or more structural health characteristics of each structure of the plurality of structures.

An abnormality detection apparatus is a device for detecting an abnormality of an object, and detects the abnormality of the object by performing predetermined processing on second signals in a predetermined region among first signals derived from vibration acquired from the object.

An equipment monitoring system including a plurality of sensors attached to components of an insulation blowing machine. The components of the insulation blowing machine include a blower, a hose, a blower hopper and a material staging area. The sensors transmit information to a central computer which detects the operations parameters of the blowing machine components and displays them in real time, as well as sends alerts if operating outside of preset perimeters.

A system for monitoring at least one HVAC system includes at least one remotely accessible server, at least one probe or sensor operatively connected to the at least one HVAC system and configured to acquire operational data, and a communication module operatively connected to the at least one probe or sensor and configured to transmit the operational data acquired to the at least one remotely accessible server. The remotely accessibly server includes a processor and a memory unit and is programmed to receive and store operational data acquired for the HVAC system, and identify any operational abnormalities by analysing the operational data. Responsive to an operational abnormality being identified, the server is further programmed to designate a tiered maintenance status for the HVAC system and transmit a corresponding tiered maintenance request to a technician based on the tiered maintenance status designated.

A computer-implemented method of providing insurance coverage to risk averse home owners having standby generators. The method may include: (1) providing, by an insurance provider remote server, an ability of a vendor that provides a standby generator for a home to make available to the insurance provider data associated with a customer and/or the standby generator; (2) receiving, at the insurance provider remote server from the vendor, with customer permission or affirmative consent, the data associated with the customer and/or the standby generator; and (3) determining, by the insurance provider remote server based upon the data associated with the customer and/or the standby generator, data associated with the insurance coverage and/or data associated with terms of the insurance coverage. The data associated with the customer and/or the standby generator may be received by the insurance provider via wireless communication over one or more radio links or communication channels, for instance.

The present invention relates to a monitoring method for monitoring a remote pumping station in communication with a computational device via the Internet. An embodiment of a method may comprise requesting, using the computational device, pumping station information from the pumping station. The pumping station information may then be received by the computational device. The pumping station information may be in the form of a pumping station profile. In one embodiment, information from the pumping station profile is displayed on a display of the computational device. The information displayed would typically comprise the water level, and indicators of the activation set points and deactivation set points for the pumps.

A board production management device configured to manage a board production line including an initial notification section configured to issue notification information including at least one of a contents of an error cause or a contents of countermeasures when the error cause that requires countermeasures occurs at the board production line; and an escalation notification section configured to issue the notification information after escalating in a case in which the error cause is not resolved after a specified time has elapsed since the error cause occurred. Accordingly, because when the specified time has elapsed, a notification is issued as escalating the notifyee or escalating the contents of countermeasures to resolve error causes more effectively, and compared to conventional technology in which only re-notification of the occurrence of the error cause is performed, notification is performed more efficiently, enabling an error cause that requires countermeasures to be resolved more quickly.
