An illustrative example method of monitoring value added activity includes positioning a detector near a selected portion of a machine using a clip for situating the detector in a position where the detector can detect at least one electrical characteristic associated with operation of a machine; communicating an indication of the detected electrical characteristic between the detector and a user interface; and displaying a visual representation of value added activity information based the indication. The value added activity corresponds to human operator performance that is distinct from machine performance during a manufacturing or assembly process.

A user interface for fleet management includes a first user interface zone and a second user interface zone, which are can be presented to the user simultaneously on the same first user interface. On the first user interface is presented, in response to a selection made by the user, simultaneously at least two parallel first selection elements, and from the selected at least one first selection element, at least one selectable first selection element related thereto and included in the next higher or lower hierarchical level. The second user interface zone is arranged to present information which is based on selections made by the user via the first user interface zone.

A method for determining part wear, such as using a wear model, includes receiving, from a sensor, sensor data representing a surface of a wear part. The method further includes determining an estimated time until the part should be replaced. The method further includes batching together multiple wear parts that need replacing to enable a user to replace multiple parts in one maintenance period. The method may also include providing information to the user during replacement of a worn part to indicate the part location.

A method of monitoring a condition of a system is provided. The method includes receiving a first sampled signal having first sampled points sampled at a first sampling rate, and receiving a second sampled signal having second sampled points sampled at a second sampling rate. Both the first and second sampled signals originate from sensing over a dimension in the same sensing process. The method further includes determining a first shift over the dimension between the first sampled signal and the second sampled signal at a first sampled point of the first sampled signal, determining a second shift over the dimension between the first sampled signal and the second sampled signal at a second sampled point of the first sampled signal, the second sampled point being different than the first sampled point, determining a calculated shift that is a function of the first shift and the second shift, generating a merged signal that includes each of the first sampled points and each of the second sampled points shifted based on the calculated shift, determining whether there is at least a threshold indication of failure based on analysis of the merged signal, and disabling or recommending for removal the component in response to determining that there is at least a threshold indication of failure.
