Monitoring system for proactive service of devices

摘要

In one embodiment, a method for monitoring operation of a device is provided. Monitoring of the device at a source using a gateway is activated. The device is coupled to the source to receive power from the source for operation of the device. The gateway monitors an electrical characteristic of the source coupled to the device. Monitored information of the electrical characteristic is captured from the source when an event occurs at the device. The monitored information is correlated as being associated with the device. The monitored information is used in an analysis to analyze whether a variance in the monitored information violates a threshold to trigger an indication of a problem in the operation of the device.

1. A method for monitoring the operation of a device, the method comprising:
monitoring the operation of the device via a monitoring device configured to monitor one or more electrical characteristics of an alternating current (AC) power source, wherein the AC power source is coupled to the device and configured to supply power to the device for operation; detecting variations of the one or more electrical characteristics at the AC power source when an event occurs at the device; and correlating the variations as being associated with the device, wherein the variations comprise an indication of whether the device is functioning or malfunctioning.
