Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method and system for real-time monitoring of operating condition at an infrastructure. The method comprises receiving data from one or more sensors wherein the data is associated with monitoring parameters of the infrastructure like environment condition, operator health condition and working condition of the infrastructure. The data is received by one or more mobile devices associated with one or more operators of the infrastructure. Based on the received data, the each of the mobile devices detects status of the operating condition of the infrastructure. The status is either safe or unsafe. The mobile device receives input from each of the one or more operators if there is any modification in the detected status. Based on the received input the detected status is updated. The mobile device provides one or more measures associated with the one or more monitoring parameters based on the updated status.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for real-time monitoring of operating condition at an infrastructure, the method comprising:
receiving, by one or more mobile devices associated with one or more operators of the infrastructure, data related to one or more monitoring parameters from each of one or more sensors;
detecting, by the one or more mobile devices, status of the operating condition at the infrastructure based on the data, wherein the status is at least one of safe and unsafe, wherein the detected status is validated based on an input from the one or more operators, and wherein the input further comprises at least one monitoring parameter from the one or more monitoring parameters affecting the operating condition of the infrastructure;
updating, by the one or more mobile devices, the status based on the input received on validity of the status from the one or more operators, wherein a predefined sensor value is updated by an infrastructure monitoring server based on the at least one monitoring parameter; and
providing, by the one or more mobile devices, one or more measures associated with the one or more monitoring parameters based on the updated status thereby monitoring the operating condition at the infrastructure.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein updating the status comprises modifying the status as safe if the status is validated as safe by the one or more operators and modifying the status as unsafe if the status is validated as unsafe by the one or more operators.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein status information associated with the updated status is transmitted to an infrastructure monitoring server.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprises receiving input, from the one or more operators, on the one or more monitoring parameters affecting the operating condition at the infrastructure.

5. The method as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the information associated with the input on the one or more operating parameters affecting the operating condition at the infrastructure is transmitted to the infrastructure monitoring server.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors are configured at the infrastructure.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein detecting the status of the operating condition at the infrastructure comprises:
obtaining a sensor value from the data;
comparing the sensor value with the updated predefined sensor value;
detecting the status of the operating condition to be safe if the sensor value is within the updated predefined sensor value; and
detecting the status of the working condition to be unsafe if the sensor value exceeds the updated predefined sensor value.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprises providing a notification by the one or more mobile devices indicating the status of the operating condition.

9. A mobile device for real-time monitoring of operating condition at an infrastructure, the system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores processor-executable instructions, which, on execution, causes the processor to:
receive data related to one or more monitoring parameters from each of one or more sensors;
detect status of the operating condition at the infrastructure based on the data, wherein the status is at least one of safe and unsafe, wherein the detected status is validated based on an input from the one or more operators, and wherein the input further comprises at least one monitoring parameter from the one or more monitoring parameters affecting the operating condition of the infrastructure;
update the status based on the input received on validity of the status from the one or more operators, wherein a predefined sensor value is updated by an infrastructure monitoring server based on the at least one monitoring parameter; and
provide one or more measures associated with the one or more monitoring parameters based on the updated status thereby monitoring the operating condition at the infrastructure.

10. The mobile device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the processor updates the status of the operating condition by modifying the status as safe if the status is validated as safe by the one or more operators and modifying the status as unsafe if the status is validated as unsafe by the one or more operators.

11. The mobile device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the processor transmits the status information associated with the updated status to an infrastructure monitoring server.

12. The mobile device as claimed in claim 9 further comprises receiving, by the processor, input from the one or more operators on the one or more monitoring parameters affecting the operating condition at the infrastructure.

13. The mobile device as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the processor transmits the information associated with the input on the one or more operating parameters to the infrastructure monitoring server.

14. The mobile device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the processor detects the status of the operating condition at the infrastructure by:
obtaining a sensor value from the data;
comparing the sensor value with the updated predefined sensor value;
detecting the status of the operating condition to be safe if the sensor value is within the updated predefined sensor value; and
detecting the status of the working condition to be unsafe if the sensor value exceeds the updated predefined sensor value.

15. The mobile device as claimed in claim 1 further comprises providing a notification by the one or more mobile devices indicating the status of the operating condition.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions stored thereon that when processed by at least one processor cause a mobile device to perform operations comprising:
receiving data related to one or more monitoring parameters from each of one or more sensors;
detecting status of the operating condition at the infrastructure based on the data, wherein the status is at least one of safe and unsafe, wherein the detected status is validated based on an input from the one or more operators, and wherein the input further comprises at least one monitoring parameter from the one or more monitoring parameters affecting the operating condition of the infrastructure;
updating the status based on the input received on validity of the status from the one or more operators, wherein a predefined sensor value is updated by an infrastructure monitoring server based on the at least one monitoring parameter; and
providing one or more measures associated with the one or more monitoring parameters based on the updated status thereby monitoring the operating condition at the infrastructure.

17. The medium of claim 16 , wherein the instructions further cause the at least one processor to update the status of the operating condition by modifying the status as safe if the status is validated as safe by the one or more operators and modifying the status as unsafe if the status is validated as unsafe by the one or more operators.

18. The medium of claim 16 , wherein the instructions further cause the at least one processor to detect the status of the operating condition at the infrastructure by:
obtaining a sensor value from the data;
comparing the sensor value with the updated predefined sensor value;
detecting the status of the operating condition to be safe if the sensor value is within the updated predefined sensor value; and
detecting the status of the working condition to
