Systems, methods, and other embodiments are disclosed that are configured to segment customers using mixed attribute types. In one embodiment, a computerized data structure is read. The computerized data structure has numerical demographic attribute data, categorical demographic attribute data, and target attribute data that is associated with customers and is stored in a computerized memory. The numerical demographic attribute data and the categorical demographic attribute data are converted to a same numerical scale, based at least in part on the target attribute data, to form congruent attribute data in a format that is compatible with performing a cluster analysis on the congruent attribute data. The cluster analysis is performed on the congruent attribute data to generate segmented customer data representing a segmentation of the customers. The segmented customer data may be used to control at least one enterprise function performed by a computerized management system.

A device and a method of monitoring a machine. The method includes interfacing an edge device with the machine and detecting a condition of the machine with the edge device. The method identifies the condition with the edge device and sends a signal identifying the condition to a program running on the machine. The signal of the edge device communicates with the program through a register of recorded values and the edge device checks the register and notifies the program by altering a value in the recorded values of the register to a signal value. The program reads the recorded values in the register and initiates an action in the machine when the signal value is present in the recorded values of the register.
