MONITORING, DIAGNOSTICS, AND MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FOOD WASTE DISPOSAL, STORAGE, AND TREATMENT SYSTEM

摘要

A system and method are provided for a food loading station having a disposer that grinds food waste that is located at a facility that processes food waste. A storage tank receives a slurry of food waste and water from the disposer. A controller is connected to the disposer and receives a first information. A remote module in communication with the controller receives at least the first information, and determines a second information. A terminal associated with the facility and connected to the remote module receives the second information. In a first embodiment, the first information is user identification information for users that operate the system. The remote module also receives system malfunction information that associates particular system malfunctions with the users based on malfunction times for the system malfunctions and login times for the users, and determines whether a particular user has more than a predetermined number of associated system malfunctions. The terminal receives the identification information for the particular user when the particular user has more than the predetermined number of associated system malfunctions. In a second embodiment, the first information is operational data associated with the system. The remote module determines whether maintenance is needed for the system based on the operational data, and generates a maintenance recommendation when maintenance isneeded for the system. In a third embodiment, the first information is operational data associated with the system. The remote module monitors the operational data and determines whether a system malfunction has occurred based on the operational data, and generates an alert for the system malfunction when the system malfunction has occurred. The terminal receives the alert for the system malfunction.
