Abstract: A sensor system includes a tilt sensor including an accelerometer configured to measure an angle of tilt of a vertical structure, and a wind sensor configured to determine at least one of wind speed or wind direction. The tilt sensor can also include a communication interface configured to transmit a sensor signal including the angle of tilt of the vertical structure, and at least one of the wind speed or the wind direction. The sensor system can also include a controller for receiving the sensor signal, and a cloud computing network that allows for various alerts to be presented to a user device.

Abstract: A dock monitoring system includes one or more sensors for monitoring equipment or areas within the dock. The sensors can include a presence sensor, a dock door sensor, and/or a dock leveler sensor. The sensors can communicate with a controller to process sensor data. The controller can determine various information using the sensor data. Such information can be transmitted to a server for storage in a database, or to generate notifications and/or alerts related to the dock or dock equipment. A user may use a user device such as a computer or a mobile device to view the information, notifications, and alerts.
