Abstract: A system for monitoring and controlling a tangible process, includes a control device for controlling the tangible process, an imaging device providing a visual feed of the tangible process, a handheld wireless device and a communication link interfacing the imaging device and the control device with the handheld wireless device at a location remote from the tangible process. The handheld wireless device includes a display for remotely displaying the visual feed and at least one switch operable to remotely control an aspect of the tangible process; the aspect controlled includes initiating and terminating the tangible process.

Abstract: A system for improving process awareness, safety, security, efficiency, and other aspects of industrial and non-industrial processes for participants associated with the processes. The system includes a control device associated with the process, and for each participant, a mobile client device and participant profile. The system improves safety, security, and efficiency by the control device enabling remote monitoring of participants and the process, implementing participant profile limitations, and authorizing participants to remotely monitor and control aspects of the process. The control device incorporates social network features to validate compliance and/or consent of all designated participants in order for control aspects of the process to be enabled.

Abstract: A system for in-vehicle monitoring and control of commodity loading, such a grain or loose or fluid materials, from a storage bin to a transport bin using a loading system, includes a loading system control device and a user interface device capable of mutual wireless communication. The system improves safety by eliminating the need for operators to crawl up the side of vehicle in order to check levels of commodity in the transport bin, while also trying to move the transport bin as required. The loading system control device includes a logic switching unit for selectively operating the loading system that transfers the commodity from the storage bin; one or more cameras providing visual feeds of the loading of commodity into the transport bin; and a security or safety feature. The user interface device includes a display for displaying the visual feeds and control switches for operating the loading system.
