Methods and apparatus to monitor and manage loading docks and facility operations are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a data analyzer to: monitor first data indicating whether a truck trailer is present at a dock of the material handling facility; and monitor second data indicating a condition associated with a door at the dock, the second data being different than the first data. The apparatus further includes a notification generator to generate a notification based on the first data and the second data.

Methods and apparatus to monitor and manage loading docks and facility operations

Methods, mediums, and systems include use of a system manger application in a data processing system to create a replay in a graphical user interface, to receive replay criteria, identify any replay devices, replay sensors, replay actuators, and replay functions corresponding to the replay criteria from among the plurality of devices, sensors, and actuators, identify a replay time period corresponding to the replay criteria, gather replay data for the identified replay devices, replay sensors, replay actuators, or replay functions corresponding to the replay criteria that was generated during the replay time period, and display the replay in the graphical user interface according to the replay data.

Smart replay in management systems

The systems, methods and devices disclosed herein provide for a field panel that includes a webserver. The field panel and webserver are arranged in communication with one or more automation components and/or field panels deployed for operation in connection with the building automation system. An information request may be directed to a master field panel for authorization. The master field panel may in turn query a node table containing address and/or communication information with the other field panels and/or automation components operable on the wired or wireless communication network. The information within the node table allows for direct communication to the other field panels and/or automation components operable on the network. In this way, authorized access to each of the field panels and/or automation components is achieved while any communications bottleneck at the master field panel may be significantly reduced or eliminated.
