Abstract
A monitoring and maintenance system that utilizes imperial and theoretical data to compare parts, vehicles, users, regions, wear intensity indexes over time and tracking information to provide a sophisticated data collection system for heavy-duty equipment or rental equipment. This tracking is designed to better the specifications, designs, training, preventative maintenance, and replacement wear understanding of fleet management.
Claims21
An HDi monitor comprising:
- a housing configured for affixing to a heavy-duty vehicle
- memory that stores a plurality of patterns representing heavy-duty vehicle operation events in memory;
- a sensor that collects sensor data as the heavy-duty vehicle is operated;
- a controller coupled to the memory and the sensor configured to identify a heavy-duty vehicle operation event by comparing the sensor data with the plurality of patterns stored in memory.
