  • Patent number: 10630869
    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.
