US 2013/0158678 A1 · METHOD OF CONTROL OF TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method and system for control and remote monitoring the condition of a technical equipment or plant provided with tags or labels as an electronic identifier where a user identifies the apparatus/machine, while on-site, a unique ID, stored data on the tag and sensor data are read, a mobile device application sends a control request from the identified apparatus to a central automation system for approval. The request and data can be analyzed by the central automation system to determine: is control request allowed/authorized so that no misoperation is possible; and which functionality is allowed via mobile device. If control is allowed, then the commands, related to configuration, action, and the like, requested are sent to the central automation/control system for controlling/passing the commands, and executing command for the technical equipment.
