Server component for monitoring modules of printing machines utilizing RFID tags
First Claim
1. A server component at least partially implemented by an operative set of processor executable instructions configured for execution by at least one processor, the server component comprising:
- a network interface in operative communication with a network and configured to communicate with at least two nodes of different node types, wherein the network interface is in operative communication with a node of the at least two nodes and with a local RFID tag attached to a corresponding module, and the node is a printer-based node associated with a printing machine; and
an analysis component configured to utilize the network interface to communicate with the node associated with the printing machine such that the analysis component is in operative communication with the local RFID tag attached to the corresponding module,wherein the node associated with the printing machine operatively interrogates the local RFID tag to retrieve information relating to the corresponding module and operatively communicates the information to the server component.

Abstract
A server component includes a network interface and an analysis component. The server component is at least partially implemented by an operative set of processor executable instructions configured for execution by at least one processor. The network interface is in operative communication with a network and is configured to communicate with at least two nodes of different node types. The network interface is also in operative communication with a local RFID tag attached to a corresponding module. A node of the at least two nodes is a printer-based node associated with a printing machine. The analysis component is configured to utilize the network interface to communicate with the node associated with the printing machine such that the analysis component is in operative communication with the local RFID tag attached to the corresponding module. The node associated with the printing machine interrogates the local RFID tag to retrieve information relating to the corresponding module and communicates the information to the server component.
