Claim Text:
1. A maintenance system comprising: a plurality of containers, each of the containers being sealed and receiving a payload, each payload being sensitive to environmental conditions; a plurality of sensors received within each of the containers; wherein the sensors are configured to detect temperature and humidity within the container, and the sensors are further configured to detect vibration and shock on the container; at least one logging device in communication with the sensors and configured to receive readings of detected temperature, humidity, vibration and shock from the sensors; wherein the logging device is configured to store a plurality of successive readings of detected temperature, humidity, vibration and shock from the sensors for multiple years; wherein the logging device interfaces with the sensors from each of the containers; wherein the logging device is configured to output the readings of detected temperature, humidity, vibration and shock from the sensors to a computer program; wherein the computer program is configured to compare the readings with known allowable levels for the payload in the container and produce a result indicating a likelihood of failure within each respective said payload within each separate container on a real time basis as a status indicator of the respective payload; wherein the computer program is further configured to display the status indicator of the payload for all of the containers; and wherein an operator of the computer program determines which payload to utilize based upon the status indicator of the payload.
