The invention relates to a method for monitoring a use of a surface processing apparatus to which a processing task is allocated. In accordance with the invention, in order to provide such a method that enables better monitoring of the execution of the processing task, the surface processing apparatus transmits a notification concerning the operation of the surface processing apparatus at an operating time to an external receiving unit, and, at the receiving unit, it is determined whether the operating time lies before or, at the latest, at a specified or specifiable latest possible operation initiation time, wherein the duration from the operation initiation time to a specifiable or specified latest possible task completion time is at least as long as the expected time for execution of the processing task. The invention further relates to an information system for carrying out the method.

Method for monitoring a use of a surface processing apparatus and information system

A method for monitoring an operation location of a surface processing apparatus is provided, wherein a surface processing apparatus is allocated to a spatially delimited operation area by way of an allocating unit, and wherein the position of the surface processing apparatus is established, and it is determined whether the surface processing apparatus is disposed inside or outside the operation area. For versatility, the surface processing apparatus is allocated to a first operation area and at least one second operation area that is spatially separated from the first operation area, and it is determinable whether the surface processing apparatus is disposed outside the first operation area but inside the at least one second operation area. Furthermore, the invention relates to a monitoring system for performing the method.
