SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MICRO-LOCATION POSITIONING AND ANALYTICS

Systems and methods are provided for monitoring a workforce within a site using a wireless mesh network. The system utilizes a plurality of beacons positioned at various points through a work site or other region. The beacons can further be positioned such that combinations of beacons define smaller regions, such as a protected zone within a construction or manufacturing site or a room in a building. In addition, a sensor unit is carried by each member of the workforce subject to monitoring, which allows real-time micro-location data to be passively recorded as people move within digital zones of a facility or worksite. The location of each sensor is therefore determined (e.g., pinged every so often, such as every five seconds) relative to the beacons, and all location data can be transmitted and stored in a point cloud. The disclosed system also includes a server with an analytics engine to analyze workforce movements for identifying operational inefficiencies and preventing worker safety problems. L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés permettant de surveiller un personnel à l'intérieur d'un site à l'aide d'un réseau maillé sans fil.
