Abstract
A system for collecting and communicating data associated with at least one of a plurality of machines includes a sensor. The sensor is configured to monitor an operational condition of the at least one associated machine and provide signals indicative of the operational condition. The system includes at least one local data system, including a processor, associated with the machine and configured to receive signals from the sensor, detect an event affecting the at least one machine based on the signals received from the sensor, and communicate data relevant to the detected event to a location remote from the at least one machine. A central data system including a processor and configured to receive the data relevant to the detected event and communicate with other machines of the plurality of much such that the other machines communicate data relevant to the detected event to the central data system is included.
