Apparatus for a status reporting device for container handler
First Claim
1. An apparatus for a status reporting device for a container handler, comprising:
- a micro-controller module to becommunicatively coupled with a means for wirelessly communicating andcommunicatively coupled with a means for sensing a state of said container handler; and
a program system installed into a memory accessibly coupled to a computer directing said micro-controller module;
wherein said program system comprises program steps residing in said memory, of;
using said means for sensing said state of said container handler to create a sensed state; and
using said means for wirelessly communicating to communicate said sensed state;
wherein said container handler moves a container at least twenty foot in length.

Abstract
A mechanism and method for making status reporting devices for container handlers, including: providing a micro-controller module, and installing a program system into memory accessed by a computer directing the micro-controller module. The micro-controller module communicatively couples with means for wirelessly communicating and for sensing a state of the container handler. Means for wirelessly communicating may include means for wirelessly determining container handler location. The micro-controller module may be communicatively coupled to a separate means for determining location. An apparatus making the devices may include a second program system directing the invention'"'"'s method through a second computer, which may control an assembly device in creating the micro-controller, coupled with the means for sensing and for wirelessly communicating.
