Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Operating entities lack the resources and time to monitor equipment data in an organized manner for real-time decision-making, necessitating systems and methods that leverage external data analytics infrastructure for remote equipment monitoring.
Innovation Solution
A real-time equipment monitoring system comprising a remote operations center and a data analytics kiosk that receive operational data in real-time, perform analytics, and provide graphical user interfaces to display results, utilizing processors, memory, and communication circuitry for remote and local data processing, respectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If operating entities monitor equipment data themselves, then they can make real-time decisions, but they lack the time and resources to do so in an organized manner
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a specialized monitoring system with automated data collection, processing, and analysis capabilities that acts as an intermediary between equipment and decision-makers. This system consolidates monitoring functions, processes data systematically, and delivers actionable insights without requiring operating entities to dedicate their own time and resources to organized monitoring.
2Loss of information
If a remote operations center processes all data centrally, then analytics capability is improved, but system complexity and data transmission requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the monitoring system into multiple components: local data collection devices at equipment sites, intermediate processing nodes, and a central remote operations center. This segmentation allows distributed data gathering and preliminary processing while maintaining centralized advanced analytics, reducing the complexity burden on any single component and optimizing data transmission requirements.

AI summary
Systems and methods presented herein include a real-time operations center includes at least one processor and at least one memory medium. The at least one processor is configured to execute computer-readable instructions stored in the at least one memory medium that, when executed by the at least one processor cause the real-time operations center to receive operational data in substantially real-time from equipment that is located at a worksite and that is being monitored by the real-time operations center; perform data analytics on the operational data during operation of the equipment; and provide one or more graphical user interfaces to one or more computing devices, wherein the one or more graphical user interfaces illustrate results of the data analytics. In addition, systems and methods presented herein also include a data analytics kiosk having substantially similar features and configured to display the one or more graphical user interfaces via a display of the data analytics kiosk.
