Claim 7:
8. A method comprising:
receiving, from a first sensor of a plurality of sensors located within a store, a measured value of a property of a first piece of equipment of a set of equipment located within the store, wherein the property of the first piece of equipment comprises a sound generated by the first piece of equipment, a distance to the first piece of equipment, or a pressure applied to the first piece of equipment;
receiving, from a second sensor of the plurality of sensors, a measured value of a property of a second piece of equipment of the set of equipment, wherein the property of the second piece of equipment comprises a sound generated by the second piece of equipment, a distance to the second piece of equipment, or a pressure applied to the second piece of equipment;
determining, based on the measured value of the property of the first piece of equipment, that a first condition is satisfied, the first condition dependent on the property of the first piece of equipment, the first condition associated with a respective threshold against which the property of the first piece of equipment is to be compared, wherein satisfaction of the first condition indicates that maintenance of the first piece of equipment is to be requested;
determining, based on the measured value of the property of the second piece of equipment, that a second condition is satisfied, the second condition dependent on the property of the second piece of equipment, the second condition associated with a respective threshold against which the property of the second piece of equipment is to be compared, wherein satisfaction of the second condition indicates that maintenance of the second piece of equipment is to be requested; and
in response to determining that the first condition is satisfied and that the second condition is satisfied:
determining, based on the measured value of the property of the first piece of equipment and the measured value of the property of the second piece of equipment, that a third condition is satisfied, the third condition dependent on both the property of the first piece of equipment and the property of the second piece of equipment, the third condition associated with respective thresholds against which the property of the first piece of equipment and the property of the second piece of equipment is to be compared, wherein satisfaction of the third condition indicates that maintenance of the first piece of equipment is to be prioritized over maintenance of the second piece of equipment; and
in response to determining that the third condition is satisfied, transmitting an alert for display on a user device, the alert requesting maintenance of the first piece of equipment and the second piece of equipment, and indicating that maintenance of the first piece of equipment has a higher priority than maintenance of the second piece of equipment.
