Patent ID: 8660738

Claim:
A system for evaluating performances of a machine and an operator of the machine, the system, comprising: a controller, the controller linked to a plurality of sensors for sensing a plurality of operating parameters indicative of an operation of the machine and operator; the controller having a memory programmed with an algorithm for resolving a plurality of segments the machine is sequentially performing from the sensed operating parameters to provide a sequence of resolved segments, each segment comprising a specific part of an application of the machine and operator; the memory of the controller also being programmed with an algorithm for resolving what application the machine is performing based on the sequence of resolved segments to provide at least one resolved application, the application comprising a type of operation performed by the machine and operator; the memory of the controller also being programmed to apply at least one metric to the resolved application to provide at least one applied application metric for evaluating the performance of the machine and operator using the applied application metric, the at least one metric measuring performance of the resolved application.
