Abstract
Methods and apparatus to monitor and/or adjust operations of doors are disclosed. An apparatus includes processor circuitry to execute instructions to: monitor a position of a door panel associated with a door system; detect when a beam from a photo-eye sensor associated with the door system is in an unexpected non-triggered state based on the position of the door panel; and generate an alert or notification indicating a significance of the beam in the unexpected non-triggered state.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory;
- instructions;
- and
- processor circuitry to execute the instructions to:
- monitor a position of a door panel associated with a door system;
- detect when a beam from a photo-eye sensor associated with the door system is in an unexpected non-triggered state based on the position of the door panel;
- and
- generate an alert or notification indicating a significance of the beam in the unexpected non-triggered state, the significance corresponding to a missing tab on a lateral edge of the door panel.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory;
- instructions;
- and
- processor circuitry to execute the instructions to:
- monitor a position of a door panel associated with a door system;
- detect when a beam from a photo-eye sensor associated with the door system is in an unexpected non-triggered state based on the position of the door panel;
- and
- generate an alert or notification indicating a significance of the beam in the unexpected non-triggered state, the significance corresponding to a missing corner seal on a lower corner of the door panel.
An apparatus comprising:
- sensor feedback analysis circuitry to:
- monitor a position of a door panel associated with a door system;
- and
- detect when a beam from a photo-eye sensor associated with the door system is in an unexpected non-triggered state based on the position of the door panel;
- and
- operations control circuitry to generate an alert or notification indicating a significance of the beam in the unexpected non-triggered state, the significance corresponding to a missing tab on a lateral edge of the door panel.

- monitor a position of a door panel associated with a door system;
- and
- detect when a beam from a photo-eye sensor associated with the door system is in an unexpected non-triggered state based on the position of the door panel;
- and
- operations control circuitry to generate an alert or notification indicating a significance of the beam in the unexpected non-triggered state, the significance corresponding to a missing corner seal on a lower corner of the door panel.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least:
- monitor a position of a door panel associated with a door system;
- detect when a beam from a photo-eye sensor associated with the door system is in an unexpected non-triggered state based on the position of the door panel;
- and
- operations control circuitry to generate an alert or notification indicating a significance of the beam in the unexpected non-triggered state, the significance corresponding to a missing tab on a lateral edge of the door panel.
