System and method for monitoring tooling activities

Abstract

An apparatus or system and method or process for displaying tool or die data or other tool or processing information on a display window of a webpage. A method for displaying tool data from a reciprocating tool includes positioning a monitor with respect to the reciprocating tool and the monitor recording data from the reciprocating tool. The data is communicated and then stored in a remote data storage location as stored tool data. The stored tool data is processed and then displayed, for example in the window of the webpage.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for displaying data from a reciprocating tool, the method comprising:
 positioning a monitor with respect to the reciprocating tool;   the monitor recording data from the reciprocating tool;   communicating and storing the data to a storage location as stored data;   processing the stored data into processed data; and   displaying the processed data as a desired result in a graphical user interface of a device located remotely with respect to the monitor.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the data is communicated to an input of a transmitter. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2  wherein the transmitter outputs the data to a base station. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3  wherein the base station outputs the data to the storage location. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4  wherein the storage location is a remote infrastructure. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1  wherein a processor applies an algorithm, a calculation, a manipulation, a summarization, an arithmetical function and/or a mathematical function to the data. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the graphical user interface comprises a window of a webpage and/or a software application. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the device comprises a window, a dashboard, a personal computer, a tablet device and/or a phone device. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the graphical user interface communicates data and/or information as an output from the graphical user interface. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the data includes information about the reciprocating tool. 
     
     
         11 . A method for displaying data from a reciprocating tool, the method comprising:
 positioning a monitor with respect to the reciprocating tool;   the monitor recording data from the reciprocating tool; and   processing and communicating the data to a device located remotely with respect to the monitor.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the data is displayed on a graphical user interface in communication with the device. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11  wherein transmitter outputs the data to a base station that outputs the data to a storage location. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11  wherein a processor applies an algorithm, a calculation, a manipulation, a summarization, an arithmetical function and/or a mathematical function to the data. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the device comprises a window, a dashboard, a personal computer, a tablet device and/or a phone device. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the graphical user interface communicates data and/or information as an output from the device. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the data includes information about the reciprocating tool. 
     
     
         18 . A method for maintaining mold data from a reciprocating tool, the method comprising:
 positioning a monitor with respect to the reciprocating tool;   recording mold data from the reciprocating tool;   generating a first remote record of the mold data; and   generating a second remote record of the mold cycle data, the second remote record comprising a non-confidential version of the first remote record.
