  • Publication number: 20250013973
    Abstract: A transport asset monitoring system for monitoring operating states of one or more transport assets is provided. The transport asset monitoring system has at least one control unit configured to associate a respective state machine with each of the one or more transport assets. Each state machine implements a plurality of operating states, out of which operating states at least one state can be categorized as a productive state and at least one state can be categorized as an unproductive state. The transport asset monitoring system also has a sensor system to detect a current operating state for each state machine. The control unit aggregates the current operating states of a plurality of transport assets such that a transport asset utilization for the one or more transport assets is determined.

  • Publication number: 20240414240
    Abstract: A central network unit and method therein for enabling internet access to an third-party application executed in an operating system on-board a vehicle in a vehicle communications network is described. It describes obtaining information indicating on-board internet usage by the third-party application per assigned operating system resource. It also describes determining, based on the obtained information, if internet access is to be maintained for the third-party application and/or one or more of its assigned operating system resources. Further, it describes configuring access to one or more external network interfaces on-board the vehicle used by the third-party application and/or one or more of the assigned operating system resources based on the determined information. Computer program products and storage mediums are also described.

  • Publication number: 20240185148
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for handling respective state machines of a plurality of production assets. Each state machine implements a plurality of operating states, in a production process. The method comprising determining a respective production process for the plurality of production assets by monitoring the plurality of production assets, and associating a respective state machine to the plurality of production assets based on the determined respective production process. The method further comprises detecting that at least two of the plurality of production assets shares the same production process. The method further comprises performing an override, based on a respective maturity level of the at least two production assets, to override an operating state of a first production assets of the at least two production assets with an operating state of a second production asset, which second production asset is associated with a higher maturity level than the first production asset.

  • Publication number: 20240013585
    Abstract: A vehicle communication system for enabling communication between a main controller of a heavy-duty vehicle and one or more add-on module(s) arranged to be connected to the heavy-duty vehicle. The vehicle communication system comprises a logical network segment arranged for communication between each add-on module and the main controller thereby enabling each add-on module to communicate with the main controller over a separate logical network segment.

  • Publication number: 20230251638
    Abstract: A production asset monitoring system, for monitoring current operating states of one or more production assets, associates a respective state machine which each asset in the one or more production assets, where each state machine implements a plurality of operating states, out of which operating states at least one state is categorized as a productive state and at least one state is categorized as an unproductive state. The production asset monitoring system further comprises a sensor system configured to detect a current operating state for each state machine, and the production asset monitoring system is configured to aggregate the states of a plurality of assets into a report indicative of production asset utilization.
