Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for monitoring an industrial process. Motion related to the industrial process is monitored to identify the occurrence of events such as equipment stoppages and/or to characterize the process. Motion data may be extracted from a video of the industrial process. Based on an analysis of the motion data, a determination is made whether an event has occurred, such as an equipment malfunction, work stoppage, or another process anomaly. In response to determining an event has occurred, an error log may be generated and stored in a database. Analysis of the timing and amount of motion may be used to determine a root cause of the event and/or to count the number of products produced by the process being monitored.

Abstract: The subject invention is directed to a method and system for selecting and purchasing media advertising in a user/server environment accessed through a Web site. The method includes accessing a server system through a Web site by an advertiser in which the advertiser provides information relating to buying criteria and customer data through a form on the Web page in order to select and purchase media advertising. The server system receives and processes the information in order to create at least one media advertising rate request. The server system transmits the rate request to at least one media outlet for processing. The media outlet processes the rate request and transmits the processed rate request to the server system. The server system manipulates the processed rate request to create a media advertising schedule and then transmits the advertising schedule to the advertiser.
