Method of Use of Rules-Based Telematics Device for Auditing Maintenance Functions

摘要

The invention is a computer-implemented method to analyze compliance between maintenance contracts and delivery of maintenance and to analyze compliance between the delivery of maintenance and compliance with rules and standards. A telematics device is taken by a technician while inspecting and maintaining a control unit. The device later communicates with a computer to analyze whether the contracted actions were taken and whether the maintenance meets rules and standards. The telematics device is tamper resistant providing a high degree of certainty to the compliance data that is produced.;The control unit can be an elevator, escalator, other type of capital equipment, or a secured facility or secured route. The method is illustrated through use with an elevator for illustrative purposes but the use of the method is not limited in any way to use on elevators.
