Abstract

A method of processing telematics data associated with multiple machines. The method includes receiving the telematics data from multiple telematics data providers in communication with the machines. The method also includes determining if the telematics data from each of the telematics data providers is in a non-standard format and transforming the telematics data in the non-standard format to a standard format. The method further includes displaying, via a Graphical User Interface (GUI), the telematics data in the standard format.

Claims

1. A method of processing telematics data associated with a plurality of machines, the method comprising:

receiving the telematics data from a plurality of telematics data providers in communication with the plurality of machines;

determining if the telematics data from each of the plurality of telematics data providers is in a non-standard format;

transforming the telematics data in the non-standard format to a standard format;

displaying, via a Graphical User Interface (GUI), the telematics data in the standard format, wherein the telematics data comprises data related to total parameters of the corresponding machine;

determining a value of the total parameter for a predefined time period based on the received telematics data; and

displaying, via the GUI, the value of the total parameter for the predefined time period.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

generating a request for receiving the telematics data from at least one telematics data provider of the plurality of telematics data providers at predetermined time intervals;

receiving the telematics data at the predetermined time intervals based on the request.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein one machine of the plurality of machines is in communication with at least two telematics data providers, wherein the method further comprises determining that the telematics data from the at least two telematics data providers is from the one machine based on the unique identifier.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the telematics data from the telematics data provider comprises a unique identifier associated with a corresponding machine of the plurality of machines.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the telematics data from the plurality of telematics data providers comprises data related to a plurality of parameters of a corresponding machine of the plurality of machines, wherein the method further comprising:

selecting a set of parameters from the plurality of parameters of the telematics data in the standard format; and

displaying, via the GUI, the data related to the selected parameters.

6. The method of claim 5 further comprising receiving, via the GUI, a user input indicative of the set of parameters from the plurality of parameters.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

receiving, via the GUI, a user input indicative of a selection of a set of machines from the plurality of machines;

displaying, via the GUI, the telematics data in the standard format for the selected set of machines.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the telematics data from the telematics data provider comprises location of a corresponding machine of the plurality of machines, wherein the method further comprises:

determining a location history of the corresponding machine based on the received telematics data; and

displaying, via the GUI, locations of the corresponding machines on a map based on the location history.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the telematics data from the telematics data provider comprises location of a corresponding machine of the plurality of machines, utilization of the corresponding machine, specification of the corresponding machine and health of the corresponding machine.

10. A system for processing telematics data associated with a plurality machines, the system comprising:

a Graphical User Interface (GUI) configured to receive a user input; and

a processing device in communication with the GUI, the processing device configured to;

receive telematics data from a plurality of telematics data providers in communication with the plurality of machines;

determine if the telematics data is in a non-standard format;

transform the telematics data in the non-standard format to a standard format; and

display, via the GUI, the telematics data in the standard format for the plurality of machines,

wherein the telematics data from the telematics data provider comprises a unique identifier associated with a corresponding machine of the plurality of machines,

wherein one machine of the plurality of machines is in communication with at least two telematics data providers, wherein the processing device is further configured to determine that the telematics data from the at least two telematics data providers is from the one machine based on the unique identifier.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the processing device is further configured to:

generate a request for receiving the telematics data from at least one telematics data provider of the plurality of telematics data providers at predetermined time intervals;

receive the telematics data at the predetermined time intervals based on the request.

12. The system of claim 10, wherein the telematics data from the plurality of telematics data providers comprises data related to a plurality of parameters of a corresponding machine of the plurality of machines, wherein the processing device is further configured to:

select a set of parameters from the plurality of parameters of the telematics data in the standard format; and

display, via the GUI, the data related to the selected parameters.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the processing device is further configured to receive, via the GUI, a user input indicative of the set of parameters from the plurality of parameters.

14. The system of claim 10, wherein the telematics data from the telematics data provider comprises location of a corresponding machine of the plurality of machines, wherein the processing device is further configured to:

determine a location history of the corresponding machine based on the received telematics data; and

display, via the GUI, locations of the corresponding machines on a map based on the location history.

15. The system of claim 10, wherein the telematics data from the telematics data provider comprises location of a corresponding machine of the plurality of machines, utilization of the corresponding machine, specification of the corresponding machine and health of the corresponding machine.

16. A system for processing telematics data associated with a plurality machines, the system comprising:

a Graphical User Interface (GUI) configured to receive a user input; and

a processing device in communication with the GUI, the processing device configured to;

receive telematics data from a plurality of telematics data providers in communication with the plurality of machines;

determine if the telematics data is in a non-standard format;

transform the telematics data in the non-standard format to a standard format; and

display, via the GUI, the telematics data in the standard format for the plurality of machines,

wherein the telematics data comprises data related to total parameters of the corresponding machine, wherein the processing device is further configured to;

determine a value of the total parameter for a predefined time period based on the received telematics data; and
