1. A system on an asset, comprising: A vibration sensor; a motion detection component that receives input values based on readings of the vibration sensor, said motion detection component determining that the asset is in a first operating state when an analysis of first non-zero vibration sensor readings indicate that said first non-zero vibration sensor readings are on a first side of a threshold value, and said motion detection component determining that the asset is in a second operating state when an analysis of second non-zero vibration sensor readings indicate that said second non-zero vibration sensor readings are on a second side of said threshold value; and a threshold determining component that receives input values based on said readings of said vibration sensor, said threshold determining component determining said threshold value using input values based on said readings of said vibration sensor.
