  • Publication number: 20250060742
    Abstract: A connected water monitoring system including a plurality of sensors, each of which monitors a respective condition is provided. A hub device receives and stores respective information from each of the plurality of sensors indicative of a current status of the respective condition monitored by a respective one of the plurality of sensors. A cloud server communicates with the hub device via a network. The respective information includes one or more values sensed by each of the plurality of sensors. The hub device transmits one or both of the one or more values or the respective information to the cloud server. The cloud server determines when one or both of the one or more values or the respective information from each of the plurality of sensors indicate that one or more connected water monitoring system components require maintenance and, responsive thereto, execute an automatic maintenance process.

  • Patent number: 10961716
    Abstract: A roof vehicle has a chassis, a plurality of motor-driven wheels coupled to the chassis, a man-basket coupled to the chassis, wherein the man-basket is moveable on a y-axis and is configured to lower to an elevation beneath that of the plurality of motor-driven wheels, a deck for transporting equipment, and a power supply. A method for assembling and installing a roof involves moving the roof vehicle to the desired location on the roof of a structure, lowering the man-basket at least partially beneath the surface roof, and performing work (e.g., welding) to secure the roof to the structure of the building.
