  • Patent number: 11521151
    Abstract: The overall quality of a workforce is analyzed, scored and presented using an analysis engine that performs a multi-domain analysis on enterprise data. The analysis engine presents key information about the performance of a workforce across a range of hardware devices so as to inform different users in their unique contexts and roles within a business organization as to workforce performance. The analysis engine associates a customizable performance profile with each workforce member. Each performance profile is comprised of a plurality of performance measures. Each performance measure in turn, represents a performance metric that measures some aspect of the job duties performed by the associated workforce member, e.g., an industrial vehicle operator. The scores are aggregated into an overall performance profile score. To compute the scores, data is considered across multiple domains, e.g.

  • Publication number: 20210125122
    Abstract: Approaches are provided for normalizing performance data for the operation of industrial vehicles. The approaches comprise categorizing operations of an industrial vehicle into distinct, measureable activities. The approaches further comprise measuring the actual usage of the industrial vehicle as a function of each category of operation and wirelessly transmitting that measured usage to a remote server. The approaches also comprise associating for each category, a weighted impact on the work performed by each category as a function of energy consumed in performing that work.

  • Patent number: 8725345
    Abstract: Industrial vehicles communicate across a wireless environment where the wireless communication, data collection and/or processing capabilities of industrial vehicles are utilized to implement dashboard functions that thread status information from detail level views, up through intermediate views and to summary level views to facilitate efficient fleet maintenance, management and control. Further, industrial vehicle data may be communicated to a trusted third party server. As such, wirelessly collected industrial vehicle information is utilized within applications that aggregate and analyze data across multiple enterprises.

  • Publication number: 20040065235
    Abstract: An ergonomic desk comprises a work-surface with a cut-out opening having a ladder-like frame positioned therein. The ladder-like frame extends from below the work-surface, through the cut-out opening, and further extends past the work-surface. Left and right rungs on a first and second ladder structure of the ladder-like frame, respectively, allow for the adjustable mounting of a monitor shelf and rung-based additions. The work-surface comprises an end panel, to which a desk addition may be adjacently positioned. The ladder-like frame may further comprise a footrest and a planar backing.
