Automated recordation of crane inspection activity
First Claim
1. A method for creating a record of crane inspection activity, said method comprising:
- in response to a crane inspection activity, initiating a wireless inspection communication between a component monitor and a component information unit, wherein said component information unit is mechanically coupled with a crane component; and
automatically storing within said component monitor an inspection record related to said crane component, said inspection record including a geostamp and a timestamp associated with said wireless inspection communication, said geostamp and timestamp stored in said inspection record in conjunction with a component identification that is associated said crane component and that is received from said component information unit as part of said wireless inspection communication, wherein said in response to a crane inspection activity, initiating a wireless inspection communication between a component monitor and a component information unit, wherein said component information unit is mechanically coupled with a crane component comprises;
automatically initiating said inspection communication from said component monitor in response to said component monitor entering into a mesh network that includes said component information unit.

Abstract
In a method for creating a record of crane inspection activity, a wireless inspection communication between a component monitor and a component information unit is initiated in response to a crane inspection activity. The component information unit is mechanically coupled with a crane component. An inspection record related to the crane component is automatically storing within the component monitor. The inspection record includes a geostamp and a timestamp associated with the inspection communication. The geostamp and timestamp are stored in the inspection record in conjunction with a component identification that is associated the crane component and that is received from the component information unit as part of the wireless inspection communication.
