Abstract: A method of delivering data associated with a machine to an off board system is provided. The method includes capturing data by an on board system of the machine from at least one of a sensing unit, a control unit and an indication unit of the machine. The method further includes defining a data packet includes a payload and a data identifier. The payload includes the captured data. The method further includes determining one or more transfer parameters associated with the machine by the on board system and streaming the data packet based on the one or more transfer parameters by the on board system. The method further includes transferring the data packet from the on board system to a gateway and delivering the data to the off board system by the gateway.

Abstract: A task list server supports secure asynchronous communications between both a workstation and one or more machines. The task list server stores requests and responses initiated by either side and establishes secure communication channels used to forward the data between parties. The communication between workstation and machine may be delayed by hours or even days, depending on the work schedule and network access of both the workstation operator and machine. The machine may process requests in order from highest priority to lowest priority and from oldest to newest. Public key encryption may be used to establish secure channels between the task list server and the workstation or the one or more machines using a combination of certificate authorities including both manufacturers and owner/operators.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for intelligently establishing a communication session between a machine and off-board system. In one implementation, a system for intelligently establishes a communication session. The system includes a machine communicating with a network and an off-board system that transmits a request for data from the machine over the network. The system also includes a communication server in communication with the machine and the off-board system via the network. The communication server determines whether hardware and a network connection to transmit the requested data and are available on-board the machine and determines whether the off-board system has authority to receive the requested data.
