Measuring apparatus for operating state

A hardware- and software-based method for monitoring the operating state of at least one device using at least one measuring apparatus comprising at least one sensor for capturing measurement data relating to at least one physical parameter that characterizes the operating state of the device, and comprising a control unit and a power supply, the control unit having a microcontroller that comprises a radio interface, and using at least one first hardware- and software-based control and/or analysis apparatus, which is wirelessly connected to the measuring apparatus for the purpose of signal and/or data transmission, wherein the measuring apparatus comprises a housing that is fastened to a portion of an exterior face of the device in a retrofittable manner,

• comprising the steps:
• the measuring apparatus captures measurement data relating to at least one physical parameter that characterizes the operating state of the device;
• the measuring apparatus at least partially analyzes and/or transmits to a first control and/or analysis apparatus the measurement data captured by the measuring apparatus;
• and/or
• the first control and/or analysis apparatus retrieves the measurement data captured measuring apparatus;
• and/or
• the first control and/or analysis apparatus collects the measurement data captured by the measuring apparatus;
• and/or
• the first control and/or analysis apparatus analyzes at least partially the measurement data captured by the measuring apparatus.
