Abstract: A mobile monitoring device is used to facilitate a process of shutting down or restarting industrial machinery (e.g., motor-driven equipment) in a safe and reliable manner. The monitoring device is configured to monitor states of control devices that control operation of the machinery. The monitoring device is configured to display instructions indicating steps that are to be performed as part of the process of shutting down or restarting the machinery. As the user performs the steps, the monitoring device is configured to use feedback from the user and/or information from sensors attached to the control devices to verify that the user is performing the steps in a correct sequence. If the monitoring device detects an anomaly in the process of shutting down or restarting the machinery, then the monitoring device is configured to take at least one action to mitigate the anomaly.

Abstract: Multiple blockchains are created to interact/communicate with each other, each blockchain containing aggregated information from detailed transaction logs from existing transaction managers, the aggregation being performed agnostic of data source. The data aggregated on the blockchains is organized, like a database, into tables and records by the use of crawlers that exist on the top of blockchains. Event describers are tuned to focus on particular events, such as whether a record being built by the crawlers meets a set criteria. The event describers may collect data meeting the criteria and push information gained to a socket, creating a new spinoff blockchain. A completed audit trail of time-capsuled data can be created in an existing system without the need for prerequisite programming of version control.
