Mid-cycle electricity outage monitoring system

Abstract:

A method, computer program product, and system for tracking scheduled and unscheduled tasks of devices in case of an electrical power outage is provided. The method includes providing a hub connected to an electrically powered device, where the hub is powered by an uninterruptible power source. The method further includes continually recording data regarding the operational state of the electrically powered device using one or more sensors attached to the electrically powered device. The method further includes tracking progress of tasks associated with the electrically powered device, based on the continual recording of data regarding the operational state of the electrically powered device. The method further includes, upon detecting a power outage followed by a restore of power, identifying an expected activity to resume a task associated with the electrically powered device, based on the tracked progress of the task prior to the power outage.
