  • Publication number: 20160378095
    Abstract: A system for managing real-time work information of a motor fitting provides a sensor set at the motor fitting to transmit the real-time work information to a processing module. A processing unit of the processing module sends type information and a real-time work parameter according to the real-time work information. When a detection unit determines the real-time work parameter is fallen outside a normal work parameter according to a lookup table stored in a database and the type information, the detection unit generates an abnormal-notification signal for transmission. When an application procedure of the application-processing unit is triggered, the application-processing unit activates a play unit to play the normal work parameter, and further the activated play unit plays notification information upon receiving the abnormal-notification signal.
