Abstract: An edge device receives sensor data from a sensor affixed to a moveable gate. The edge device determines the positional state of the moveable gate based on the sensor data by inputting the received data into a machine learning model or by comparing the sensor data to values associated with a positional state through a calibration process. The edge device stores a log that associates the positional state and sensor data. The edge device determines the health state of the moveable gate using a machine learning model that is trained to predict, based on input of a new log, the health state of the gate. Responsive to determining that the health state of the gate is unhealthy, the edge device triggers a remedial action.
