  • Patent number: 9710720
    Abstract: A system and method are provided that capture an image of an asset and analyze the captured image to identify an indicium on the asset. The indicium is used, after identification, to identify the asset. The system may also be configured to identify a type of asset, to track the asset, to verify a manifest for a group of assets, or to identify damage to an asset based on comparing the captured image of the asset with a previously captured image of the asset.

  • Publication number: 20040167979
    Abstract: A service level management (SLM) configuration system and method. The SLM configuration system can include a data store having one or more references to metric components. A discovery processor can be coupled to the data store and programmed to identify individual ones of the metric components through the references which can be incorporated in a service level agreement (SLA) and managed by an associated SLM system. Finally, a registration processor can be coupled both to the discovery processor and to the associated SLM system. The registration processor can have a configuration for adding identified ones of the metric components to the associated SLM system for management by the associated SLM system when the identified ones of the metric components are incorporated into an SLA managed by the associated SLM system.
