Generator set communication system

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processing circuit of a mobile device including a user interface, an image capturing device, and a display, cause the processing circuit to execute an operation comprising:

• recognizing an identifier of a generator set including a light source;
• identifying a database associated with the identifier, the database containing information related to the generator set;
• capturing a flash sequence produced by the light source with the image capturing device;
• querying the database for information related to the identified generator set based on the captured flash sequence;
• displaying the information on the display;
• and
• communicating the information, via the mobile device, to a server associated with a group of generator sets and configured to monitor the group of generator sets.

A method comprising:

• recognizing, with a processing circuit of a mobile device, an identifier of a generator set including a light source;
• identifying, with the processing circuit, a database containing information related to the generator set;
• capturing, with an image capturing device, a flash sequence produced by the light source;
• querying, with the processing circuit, the database for information related to the generator set based on the captured flash sequence;
• displaying the information on a display of the mobile device;
• and
• communicating the information, via the mobile device, to a server associated with a group of generator sets and configured to monitor the group of generator sets.

A system for monitoring a plurality of generator sets, the system comprising:

• a memory having instructions stored thereon;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the instructions to:
• receive information from a plurality of mobile devices, the information generated in response to flash sequences of a light source of a generator set, the flash sequences captured by the plurality of mobile devices, and
• remotely monitor the plurality of generator sets using the information received from the plurality of mobile devices.
