Abstract: A method is described for supplying management services for a plurality of industrial cleaning processes or machines at remote sites and/or operated by different organizations. A service center computer is provided with a database for storing process/machine information together with a process/machine identification. Information on the processes/machines is obtained in the service center computer and the information is processed to generate reports on the processes or operation of the machines of a plurality of organizations. A website is provided via which each organization can obtain the reports on its processes or machines. In a system for supplying management services for a plurality of industrial cleaning processes or machines at remote sites and/or operated by different organizations, a service center computer is operated by a service organization at a location remote from the location(s) of the local units.

Abstract: A method is described for supplying maintenance and operational support services from a service center for a plurality of industrial cleaning processes or machines at remote sites and/or operated by different organizations. A local unit is provided at each process or machine, which is programmed to forward process/machine information with a process/machine identification to the service center. At the service center a service center computer with a database containing contact information with corresponding process/machine identifications, obtains maintenance information from the process/machine information, wherein the process/machine identification is used by the service center computer to forward the maintenance information to the corresponding contact. In a system for monitoring a plurality of industrial cleaning processes or machines, each machine uses a local unit with a plurality of sensors for sensing operating parameters of the process or machine.

Abstract: A system is described for monitoring an industrial cleaning process or machine. A plurality of operating devices are used for controlling the process or operation of the machine. The system comprises a processing unit and a plurality of sensors for sensing operating parameters of the process or machine. The sensors provide parameter dependent signals to the processing unit. At least one set of at least two sensors sensing mutually dependent parameters is provided and the processing unit is programmed with at least one algorithm using as input signals the parameter dependent signals of a set of sensors sensing mutual dependent parameters. The algorithm comprises an alarm setting for at least one of the input signals and this alarm setting is activated by at least the other input signal.
