Sistema de Monitoreo, or Monitoring System in English, refers to a structured set of processes, tools, and practices designed to systematically observe, track, and analyze specific variables or activities within a given context. These systems are commonly used to ensure performance, compliance, safety, and efficiency in various fields, such as environmental management, health care, information technology, and business operations.
A Monitoring System typically involves the collection of data through various sensors, software applications, or manual input, which is then analyzed to identify trends, detect anomalies, and provide insights for decision-making. The goal of such a system is to maintain oversight and facilitate timely responses to changing conditions, ensuring that objectives are met and potential issues are addressed promptly.
Monitoring systems can be real-time or periodic and may range from simple checklists to complex software solutions that integrate with other systems to provide comprehensive oversight. They play a critical role in risk management, project management, and quality assurance.
