The disclosed system and method may monitor and track people, objects or assets. A monitoring unit can monitor and track a number of monitored units. When a monitored unit exceed a certain distance from the monitoring unit an alarm is triggered to notify both the monitoring unit and the monitored unit. A parent or teacher may utilize a monitoring unit for a group of kids whom all have a monitored unit. The parent or teacher can easily monitor and track the kids with a monitoring system. Alternatively, the monitoring system can be used in a nursing home situation, for tracking pets, or other assets.

A highly distributed direct digital process control system for use in controlling a fully distributed process includes at least one device controller independently monitoring and controlling a plurality of external devices for performing a complete process. One or more data concentrator units are connected to the controllers for collecting information from each controller as well as directing updated control information to specific controllers. A central information processing system is connected to the data concentrator for displaying information received from the data concentrator. The central information processing system is capable of updating control information used by specific controllers.

A system for monitoring various, diverse energy characteristics of an energy consuming system. The system includes a data gathering device that accumulates data representing each of the sensed energy characteristics in real time, the data representing magnitude of the sensed energy characteristic as well as the time at which the magnitude is sensed. The data that is accumulated for each of the sensed energy characteristics is periodically transmitted to a remote analysis station. The remote analysis station performs a detailed analysis of the sensed energy characteristics and generates reports containing summaries of the sensed data in the form of listings of compressed data as well as graphs such as histograms and graphs correlating different energy characteristics of the energy consuming system.
