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.
