Systems and methods for monitoring system performance
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring a pipeline network having plural inspection sites, the system comprising:
- a memory module associated with one or more inspection sites, each memory module storing one or more performance parameters corresponding to the associated inspection site and including site location data of a corresponding inspection site;
a measuring device operable to collect performance data of each associated inspection site; and
a portable reader configured to read the memory module, and in association with the measuring device, to compare the one or more performance parameters with the performance data to validate the performance data while in proximity to the associated inspection site, the portable reader further being configured to store site location data corresponding to plural inspection sites, and compare present site location data with reference site location data to determine a location of a destination inspection site.

Abstract
The present disclosure includes systems, apparatus, and methods for monitoring a pipeline network having plural inspection sites. The system comprises a memory module associated with one or more inspection sites, with each memory module storing one or more performance parameters corresponding to the associated inspection site. The system also comprises a measuring device operable to collect performance data of each associated inspection site. The system further comprises a portable reader configured to read the memory module, and in association with the measuring device, to compare the one or more performance parameters with the performance data to validate the performance data while in proximity to the associated inspection site.

12. A method for monitoring a pipeline network having plural inspection sites, the method comprising the steps of:
-
storing one or more performance parameters on a memory module associated with such inspection site; transmitting the one or more performance parameters associated with a present inspection site to a portable reader configured to read the memory module; comparing with the portable reader one or more performance parameters of the present inspection site with performance data of the present inspection site to validate the performance data while in proximity to the present inspection site; and associating with one or more inspection sites one or more site location data corresponding to such associated inspection site; storing site location data corresponding to plural inspection sites on the portable reader; and comparing present site location data with reference site location data to determine a location of a destination inspection site. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system for monitoring a pipeline network having plural inspection sites, the system comprising:
-
a memory module associated with one or more inspection sites, each memory module storing one or more historical performance parameters and present site location data corresponding to such associated inspection site; and a portable reader configured to read the memory module, wherein the portable reader compares the present site location data with reference site location data stored in the portable reader to determine a relative distance value and a relative direction value of a destination inspection site. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
