Performance monitoring system and method
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring performance of at least one machine operator, said method including the steps of:
- measuring at least one machine parameter during operation of the machine by the operator, said at least one machine parameter related to the operation of the machine by the at least one machine operator;
segmenting at least one machine parameter that is a dependent machine parameter into segments where at least one dependent machine parameter exists, the range of each segment constituting a segmentation resolution;
generating at least one performance indicator distribution from measurements of the at least one machine parameter, said at least one performance indicator distribution comprising a range of values for a performance indicator derived from said at least one machine parameter;
calculating at least one performance indicator for the at least one machine operator from the at least one performance indicator distribution;
displaying the calculated performance indicator; and
monitoring the performance of the at least one machine operator using the at least one calculated performance indicator.

Abstract
A system and method for monitoring the performance of at least one machine operator, the system comprising at least one measuring device for measuring at least one machine parameter during operation of the machine by the operator, a server (8) for generating at least one performance indicator distribution from measurements of the at least one machine parameter and a performance indicator calculation module (18) for calculating at least one performance indicator from the at least one performance indicator distribution. Feedback may be provided to the operator by displaying the at least one performance indicator in substantially real-time to the operator on display module (6) onboard the machine.
