Abstract

A unified asset monitoring portal may be provided by a computing system that is configured to receive asset data from each of a plurality of assets. The asset data may include vehicle data associated with a first plurality of vehicles, trailer data associated with a second plurality of trailers, and/or industrial data associated with a third plurality of industrial equipment. Each of the vehicle data, trailer data, and industrial data may include at least some unique sensor data types.

Claims (44)

1. A computing system comprising:

a hardware computer processor;

a non-transitory computer readable medium having software instructions stored thereon, the software instructions executable by the hardware computer processor to cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:

receiving or sensing asset data from each of a plurality of assets, the asset data include at least:

vehicle data associated with a first plurality of vehicles;

trailer data associated with a second plurality of trailers; and

industrial data associated with a third plurality of industrial equipment;

wherein each of the vehicle data, trailer data, and industrial data includes at least some unique sensor data types;

generating a user interface configured to display:

an asset overview panel including identifiers of one or more vehicles, trailers, and industrial equipment;

receiving a user selection of a first asset of the one or more vehicles, trailers, and industrial equipment included in the asset overview panel;

in response to the user selection:

determining a first asset type associated with the first asset;

accessing configuration data associated with the first asset type, wherein the configuration data comprises a subset of diagnostic parameters associated with the first asset type; and

updating the user interface to include an asset interface including:

the subset of diagnostic parameters associated with the first asset type;

a selectable link to detailed diagnostic data regarding the first asset;

a run status visualization indicating historical operational status of the first asset; and

an upcoming maintenance visualization indicating an expected next maintenance date.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein:

the vehicle data includes at least a vehicle location for each of the first plurality of vehicles;

the trailer data includes at least a trailer location for each of the second plurality of trailers.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the industrial data includes at least a total run hours and current run status of each of the third plurality of industrial equipment.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the subset of diagnostic parameters is determined based on user selected diagnostic parameters.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the run status visualization includes, for each of a plurality of time periods, a horizontal or vertical bar with a length representative of the time period and a colored portion indicating a portion of a particular time period in which the first asset was running.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the upcoming maintenance visualization includes a circular indicator of a time period until the expected next maintenance date, wherein the circular indicator changes color as the expected next maintenance data approaches a current date.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the asset overview panel further includes a geographic map indicating locations of each of a plurality of assets.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the geographic map includes a plurality of icons, and wherein each icon represents one of the plurality of assets.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein a shape of each of the plurality of icons representing one of the plurality of assets is determined based on an asset type.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein a color of each of the plurality of icons representing one of the plurality of assets is determined by an asset run status.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the asset interface further includes an asset utilization visualization indicating utilization data associated with the first asset.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the asset utilization visualization includes a line graph displaying a total engine hours a day that an asset has been utilized over a time period.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the utilization data is determined based on a prior selection of available utilization data by a user.

14. The system of claim 1 , wherein:

the vehicle data is acquired by a plurality of vehicle devices coupled to the first plurality of vehicles;

the trailer data is acquired by a plurality of trailer devices coupled to the second plurality of trailers; and

the industrial data is acquired by a plurality of industrial devices coupled to the third plurality of industrial equipment.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein at least at least two of the vehicle devices, trailer devices, and industrial devices comprise different hardware.

16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

in response to receiving a user selection of one or more diagnostic parameters of the subset of diagnostic parameters, updating the asset interface to include a line graph displaying values of the selected one or more diagnostic parameters for a time increment over a time duration.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the time increment and the time duration are determined based on selection by a user.

18. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least some of the plurality of assets are unpowered assets and said receiving asset data from the unpowered assets comprises the computing system sensing the asset data.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein said sensing the asset data comprises energizing a communication module of the unpowered asset, wherein the energizing provides power to the asset to transmit the asset data to the computing system.

20. The system of claim 18 , wherein said sensing the asset data comprises analyzing sensor data obtained by the computing system to determine asset data of the unpowered asset.
