Abstract
A method and apparatus for real time preventative maintenance of a molding system. The molding system could be a metal molding system or a plastics molding system. The method and apparatus are capable for scheduling service, business billing and invoicing, parts management, a remote control of a molding system for assessing the need for preventative maintenance. The indication for preventative maintenance is based upon a real time operational status of the molding system.

33. An apparatus for real time preventative maintenance of a molding system comprising:
-
preventative maintenance logic, business system logic, service scheduling logic, and parts management logic, said preventative maintenance logic capable of receiving an alert notice for preventative maintenance based upon a real time operational parameter of said molding system under at least one of the following conditions, or any combination or permutation thereof; (a) said operational parameter is below an operational limit defined by real time threshold data, (b) said operational parameter is below a minimum operational limit for a maximum accumulated duration as defined by real time threshold data, (c) said operational parameter is above an operational limit defined by real time threshold data, or (d) said operational parameter is above a maximum operational limit for a maximum accumulated duration as defined by real time threshold data. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56)
