## Abstract

A computer-controlled system for digitally evaluating one or more computer-executable and traceable metrics associated with a machine at a node. The system includes a computerized data collection wireless device for collecting digital data stored in the form of a plurality of computer-executable files from the machine. The computerized data collection wireless device includes a metric logistics device that generates a metric queue containing a plurality of computer-executable metric components storing information indicative of at least one of a date, time, geo-coordinates, machine identification details, and computer readable and executable performance data associated with the machine. The system includes a data aggregator and a computer-controlled metric appliance communicatively coupled to the data aggregator and receives the metric queue from the data aggregator. The computer-controlled metric appliance analyzes and processes the metric queue to generate an output that is indicative of whether the metric is achieved or not by the machine.

## Independent claims

1. A computer-controlled system for digitally evaluating one or more computer-executable and traceable metrics associated with a machine at a node, the system comprising: a computerized data collection wireless device for collecting digital data stored in the form of a plurality of computer-executable files from the machine associated with the node in a physical setting, wherein the computer data collection wireless device comprises: a time tracking device comprising a computerized digital clock that: tracks a time of an entry or exit of data related to one or more computer-executable tasks associated with the machine at the node or event occurrences at the node; calculates a time taken in a service delivery or task completion based on the time of the entry or exit of the data related to the one or more computer-executable tasks associated with the machine at the node or the event occurrences at the node, and evaluates a time-dependent computer-executable and traceable metric for performance by comparing the time that is associated with the metric with the calculated time that is actually spent in the service delivery or task completion; a date tracking device that tracks a date associated one or more computer-executable tasks associated with the machine at the node or event occurrences at the node, wherein an output generated by the date tracking device and time tracking device is used to monitor a time for the event occurrences that have been completed or scheduled to happen in the future and generate information about pending events associated with the node; a metric identifier device that defines and provides a set of computer-executable identifiers for the one or more computer-executable and traceable metrics, wherein the metric identifier device converts raw data into metric queues and stores the metric queues in a local data reservoir of the computerized data collection wireless device in a structured form; and a metric logistics device that generates a metric queue containing a metric component storing information indicative of at least one of a date, time, geo-coordinates, machine identification details, and computer readable and executable performance data associated with the machine; a data aggregator that receives and locally stores the metric queue from the node; and a computer-controlled metric appliance directly connected to the data aggregator and that directly receives the metric queue from the data aggregator, wherein the computer-controlled metric appliance is not a part of the data aggregator, and wherein the computer-controlled metric appliance comprises: a time series database that handles the computer-executable metric queue and associated measurements that are time-stamped and location-stamped in the form of a plurality of computer-executable metric clusters of time-location series, wherein the time series database stores a set of key figure values such that each key figure value is indicative of a computer-executable task associated with the metric queue that is organized and stored in the form of the configurable clusters based on an association of the key figure values and respective individual time periods in the time series associated with the computer-executable task; and a blockchain device communicatively coupled with the time series database that provides blockchain capabilities to the computer-controlled metric appliance, wherein the blockchain device includes a distributed digital ledger system for storing trust notes and creating smart contracts associated with the metric queue.

9. A computer-implemented method for digitally evaluating one or more computer-executable and traceable metrics associated with a machine at a node, the method comprising: collecting, by a computerized data collection wireless device, digital data stored in the form of a plurality of computer-executable files from the machine associated with the node in a physical setting, wherein the computer data collection wireless device comprises a local data reservoir, a time tracking device, a date tracking device, and a metric identifier device; tracking, by the time tracking device, a time of an entry or exit of data related to one or more computer-executable tasks associated with the machine at the node or event occurrences at the node; calculating, by the time tracking device, a time taken in a service delivery or task completion based on the time of the entry or exit of the data related to the one or more computer-executable tasks associated with the machine at the node or the event occurrences at the node; evaluating, by the time tracking device, a time-dependent computer-executable and traceable metric for performance by comparing the time that is associated with the metric with a calculated time that is actually spent in the service delivery or task completion; tracking, by the date tracking device, a date associated the one or more computer-executable tasks associated with the machine at the node or event occurrences at the node, wherein an output generated by the date tracking device and time tracking device is used to monitor a time for the event occurrences that have been completed or scheduled to happen in future and generate information about pending events associated with the node; defining and providing, by the metric identifier device, a set of computer-executable identifiers for the one or more computer-executable and traceable metrics, wherein the metric identifier device converts raw data into metric queues and stores the metric queues in a local data reservoir of the computerized data collection wireless device in a structured form; generating, by a metric logistics device, a metric queue containing a metric component storing information indicative of at least one of a date, time, geo-coordinates, machine identification details, and computer readable and executable performance data associated with the machine; locally storing, by a data aggregator, the metric queue from the node; and directly receiving, by a computer-controlled metric appliance that is directly connected to the data aggregator, the metric queue from the data aggregator, wherein the computer-controlled metric appliance is not a part of the data aggregator, and wherein the computer-controlled metric appliance comprises: a time series database that handles the computer-executable metric queue and associated measurements that are time-stamped and location-stamped in the form of a plurality of computer-executable metric clusters of time-location series, wherein the time series database stores a set of key figure values such that each key figure value is indicative of a computer-executable task associated with the metric queue that is organized and stored in the form of the configurable clusters based on an association of the key figure values and respective individual time periods in the time series associated with the computer-executable task; and a blockchain device communicatively coupled with the time series database that provides blockchain capabilities to the computer-controlled metric appliance, wherein the blockchain device includes a distributed digital ledger system for storing trust notes and creating smart contracts associated with the metric queue.
