Zusammenfassung:A transducer is provided in communication with a power supply of a powered tool for detecting power consumption associated with powered and non-powered operational states and generating a power consumption signal. A measuring implementation is provided for receiving the power consumption signal and measuring intervals associated with at least one of the powered and non-powered operational states, so as to produce an operational history of the powered tool corresponding to a predetermined time period. A production counter is used for counting production units produced by the powered tool during the predetermined time period. A correlating implementation is provided for correlating the operational history with the production units, so to as generate a productivity indicator.
