Monitoring system and methods for monitoring machines with same
First Claim
1. A monitoring system for use with a system, the monitoring system comprising:
- a data management system comprising a database configured to store data representative of at least one operating characteristic of at least one machine;
a portable display assembly coupled to the data management system, the portable display assembly comprising;
at least one sensor configured to detect the presence of the at least one machine within a predefined distance from a portion of the display assembly;
a communication interface coupled to the at least one sensor and to the data management system for receiving the data;
an image capturing device configured to capture at least one image of the at least one machine to enable identification of the machine based on the image; and
a display media coupled to the communication interface and configured to present to a user an output representative of the data and superimpose the output on the at least one image such that the user is able to view historical data and monitor real-time data of the at least one machine at a machine location.

Abstract
A monitoring system for use with a system is provided. The monitoring system includes a data management system that includes a database configured to store data representative of at least one operating characteristic of at least one machine. A portable display assembly is coupled to the data management system and includes at least one sensor configured to detect the presence of the machine within a predefined distance from a portion of the display assembly. The display assembly also includes a communication interface that is coupled to the data management system and is configured to receive the data. Moreover, the display assembly includes a display media that is coupled to the communication interface for presenting an output representative of the data to a user of the display assembly such that the user is enabled to view historical data of the machine and/or monitor the machine in real-time.
