SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) INFRASTRUCTURE SURVEYING AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18060870 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) INFRASTRUCTURE SURVEYING AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
The abstract describes an information technology (IT) infrastructure survey and inventory management (SIM) system that includes a portable device with a site surveyor for conducting site surveys of IT equipment. The system communicates location information to a geospatial inventory database, providing geo-location data for the IT infrastructure and/or site.
- The portable device is equipped with a site surveyor that communicates location information during site surveys of IT equipment.
- The system includes a geospatial inventory database that maps the IT equipment data to update IT records for the infrastructure and/or site.
- The site surveyor can capture images of the IT equipment, which are processed by an image processing database with a machine learning model to output IT equipment data.
Potential Applications: - IT infrastructure management - Inventory tracking and management - Site surveying and mapping
Problems Solved: - Efficient inventory management - Accurate location tracking of IT equipment - Streamlined site survey processes
Benefits: - Improved organization of IT infrastructure - Enhanced inventory control - Time and cost savings in site surveys
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced IT Infrastructure Management System for Efficient Inventory Tracking" This technology can be used in data centers, office buildings, and other facilities to streamline inventory management processes and improve overall efficiency in IT infrastructure management.
Prior Art: No specific prior art information provided in the abstract.
Frequently Updated Research: No information on frequently updated research related to this technology provided in the abstract.
Questions about IT Infrastructure Survey and Inventory Management System:
Question 1: How does the machine learning model in the image processing database enhance the output of IT equipment data? Answer: The machine learning model analyzes images captured by the portable device's camera to accurately identify and categorize IT equipment, improving the quality and efficiency of inventory management.
Question 2: What are the key advantages of using a geospatial inventory database in the IT infrastructure survey and inventory management system? Answer: The geospatial inventory database provides precise location data for IT equipment, enabling real-time tracking and updating of IT records for better organization and management.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information technology (IT) infrastructure survey and inventory management (SIM) system is described herein. A portable device of the system is configured with a site surveyor that can communicate location information for the device during a site survey of IT equipment of the IT infrastructure to a geospatial inventory database of the system. This database can provide geo-location data for the IT infrastructure and/or site based on the location information to the portable device for rendering therein. The site surveyor can cause a camera of the portable device to capture at least one image of the IT equipment. The system includes an image processing database with a machine learning (ML) model that can output IT equipment data based on the one or more images. The geospatial inventory database can map the IT equipment data to an IT record to update the IT record for the IT infrastructure and/or site.
