Asset Management and IOT Device for Refrigerated Appliances - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240038049 titled 'Asset Management and IOT Device for Refrigerated Appliances
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes an asset management system that connects various types of refrigeration appliances to an asset manager through an asset management network. The system includes IoT devices at the device layer, which are connected to the refrigeration appliances and have edge compute capability, backup power management function, and a modem for network communication. The IoT devices integrate with sensors, switches, and/or serial data controllers of the refrigeration appliances, and initiate push notification alarms at the edge of the network. The operating data of the appliances is tagged by serial number and stored by the asset manager, which streams data from multiple appliances and uses event-driven processing to respond to edge alarms. The operating data, enriched with proprietary data organized by appliance type, is used to develop new predictive models.
- The asset management system connects refrigeration appliances to an asset manager through an asset management network.
- IoT devices with edge compute capability, backup power management function, and a modem are connected to the refrigeration appliances.
- IoT devices integrate with sensors, switches, and/or serial data controllers of the refrigeration appliances.
- Push notification alarms are initiated by the IoT devices at the edge of the network.
- Operating data of the appliances is tagged and stored by the asset manager using serial numbers as primary keys.
- The asset manager streams data from multiple appliances and uses event-driven processing to respond to edge alarms.
- The operating data is enriched with proprietary data organized by appliance type.
- The enriched data is used to develop new predictive models by appliance type.
Potential Applications
- Asset management and monitoring of refrigeration appliances in various industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and logistics.
- Predictive maintenance of refrigeration appliances to reduce downtime and improve efficiency.
- Optimization of energy consumption and cost management in refrigeration systems.
- Remote monitoring and control of refrigeration appliances for improved operational efficiency.
Problems Solved

- Enhanced predictive maintenance to reduce downtime and repair costs.
- Increased visibility into the performance and health of refrigeration appliances.
- Ability to develop new predictive models for improved efficiency and reliability.
- Remote monitoring and control for efficient operations and cost management.
Original Abstract Submitted
an asset management system includes an asset management network that connects various types of refrigeration appliances to an asset manager. at the device layer, iot devices are connected to the refrigeration appliances and have edge compute capability, including a backup power management function, and a modem for network communication. iot device ports directly integrate with sensors, switches, and/or serial data controllers of refrigeration appliances. push notification alarms are initiated on the edge of the network by iot devices. the network tags operating data by appliance serial, and the asset manager stores the data using serial numbers as primary keys. the asset manager streams data from numerous appliances and uses event driven processing to promptly respond to edge alarms. the operating data keyed by serial number is enriched with proprietary data organized by appliance type and is used to develop new predictive models by appliance type.
