Abstract

The current invention is a feedback system for monitoring the efficiency of an organization (factory, industrial company or even service company) and down to the level of a worker in real-time manner, includes a supervisory and monitoring system. A database for storing data and an application program for analyzing it, giving reports in a real time manner, showing the efficiency, the total time of stoppage, and the reasons for these stoppages. The system can collect data through many types of physical sensors (temperature sensors, current sensors, electric pulse sensors and many others) which can be used for controlling different set of devices turning them on or off according to the needed scenario, also the system works through a LAN providing a communication system between all the workers attached to this system together with their direct supervisors and managers.

Claims
