METHOD FOR UTILIZATION CALCULATION ON EQUIPMENT INCLUDING INDEPENDENT COMPONENT

摘要

Embodiments relate to a method of monitoring an asset including an independentcomponent, the method including; receiving at an electronic device datarelated tooperation of an asset, the data including utilization data of an independentcomponent ofthe asset; interpreting, using a processor, the utilization to determine anutilization oroperational characteristic of the asset; performing, using a processor,analysis ofthe utilization or operational characteristic in view of a stored target toproduce aperformance output; filtering, using a processor, to improve accuracy; andproviding areport that includes the operational characteristic and/or utilization output;whereinutilization data of the independent component is generated by detecting theengine statusof a prime mover of the asset; detecting a position of the independentcomponent;wherein the independent component provides work functionality independent oftheengine status..
