Abstract
Methods and systems of monitoring and managing a facility including a plurality of end point devices. One system includes an end point device including an electronic processor, the electronic processor powered by an energy source local to the end point device. The electronic processor is configured to receive data from at least one electro-mechanical element of a fixture associated with the facility, the data related to an operation of the fixture. The electronic processor is also configured to convert the data pursuant to a networking protocol. The electronic processor is also configured to enable, over a network associated with the networking protocol, transmission of the converted data for virtual processing.
Claims19
An end point device associated with a facility, the end point device comprising:
- an electronic processor configured to
- detecting an operation of a fixture associated with the facility, and
- in response to detecting the operation of the fixture,
- receive data from at least one electro-mechanical element of the fixture associated with the facility, the data related to the operation of the fixture,
- convert the data pursuant to a networking protocol, and
- enable, over a network associated with the networking protocol, transmission of the converted data to a remote device for virtual processing.
A system for monitoring and managing a facility including a plurality of end point devices, the system including:
- an end point device including an electronic processor configured to
- detecting an operation of a fixture associated with the facility, and
- in response to detecting the operation of the fixture,
- receive data from at least one electro-mechanical element of the fixture associated with the facility, the data related to the operation of the fixture,
- convert the data pursuant to a networking protocol, and
- enable, over a network associated with the networking protocol, transmission of the converted data for virtual processing.
A method for monitoring and managing a facility, the method being executed by an electronic processor and comprising:
- detecting an operation of a fixture associated with the facility;
- and
- in response to detecting the operation of the fixture,
- receiving data from at least one electro-mechanical elements of the fixture associated with the facility, wherein the data is associated with the operation of the fixture;
- in response to receiving the data,
- converting, with the electronic processor, the data pursuant to a networking protocol, and
- transmitting, over a network associated with the networking protocol with the electronic processor, the converted data for virtual processing.
