Patent number: 11861955Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Hannah Dubin, Kevin Omwega, Jennifer Nguyen, Arthur Pohsiang Huang, James Robert Saunders, David Brablec, Evan Meagher

Patent number: 11720087Abstract: A system receives operations data and determines operations indicator(s) from the operations data. An operator on a manufacturing line reports a downtime event via a human machine interface device. The system receives downtime event and uptime information. The system calculates an operations indicator, such as an overall equipment effectiveness indicator, from the downtime event and uptime information. A user interface of the system includes the operations indicator(s) and visualizations. Some visualizations include a timeline indicating downtime events and other operations events. Additional downtime and uptime information is received by the system in substantially real-time. The system dynamically calculates updated operations indicator(s) from the additional downtime and uptime information.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2021Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Katherine Lee Heddleston, John Charles Bicket, James Robert Saunders, Peter Lee Atkin

Patent number: 11671478Abstract: A system for providing remote control of assets is disclosed herein. The system provides secure communications with one or more assets and receive operational data from the one or more assets. The system provides a graphical interface that includes one or more icons, one or more indicators, and one or more user input interfaces. The system receives a user input via the one or more user input interfaces and transmit the user input to an asset associated with the one or more user input interfaces. The system detects changes to an operational characteristics of the asset and display the changes.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2022Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: James Robert Saunders, Erick Anthony Dean, Youny Jing Kuang, Audrey Yun Li, Oscar Ulissez Garcia, Famien Aaron Koko, Noah Paul Gonzales, Jennifer T. Nguyen

Patent number: 11665223Abstract: Controller devices may be configured to execute a network discovery service to identify other devices on a network, including other controller devices, user computing devices, and/or human machine interface devices. The controller devices may communicate with the devices on the network. An individual controller device may, upon connection to a human machine interface device, provide to the human machine interface device via a web server, a graphical user interface from which a user may configure the controller device or connect to another controller device on the network.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2022Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: James Duffield, Paul Ugolini, Ethan Wen-Yen Chiou, Nguyen Trong Dinh, James Robert Saunders

Patent number: 11641388Abstract: A system for providing remote monitoring of assets is disclosed. The system provides secure communication with one or more assets and receive operational data from the one or more assets. The system generates a graphical user interface that be used for selection of inputs from the one or more assets and specification of conditions to be applied to inputs for generation of alerts. The system can receive a selection of one or more asset outputs and two or more conditions. The conditions are applied to the selection of one or more assets to generate alerts when at least one of the conditions is satisfied.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2022Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: James Robert Saunders, Erick Anthony Dean, Youny Jing Kuang, Famien Aaron Koko, Audrey Yun Li, Amanda Wang, Jennifer T. Nguyen, Noah Paul Gonzales, Steven Vellon

Patent number: 11558449Abstract: Controller devices may be configured to automatically connect to a remote management server (e.g., a “cloud”-based management server), and may offload received data and analyses to the remote management server via wired or wireless communications. The controller devices may further communicate with the management server, user computing devices, and/or human machine interface devices, e.g., to provide remote access to the controller device, provide real-time information from the controller device, receive configurations/updates, provide interactive graphical user interfaces, and/or the like.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2021Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: SAMSARA INC.Inventors: John Bicket, Anubhav Jain, James Duffield, James Robert Saunders
