Systems and methods for tracking location in industrial facilities

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer executable code stored thereon, the code comprising instructions to:

• cause a processor to receive a first signal from a light source within an industrial facility, wherein the first signal comprises a unique identification code configured to indicate at least a partial identity of a human resource within the industrial facility;
• cause the processor to determine a proximity of the human resource with respect to the light source based at least in part on a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of the first signal;
• cause the processor to generate an indication of a location of the human resource within the industrial facility based on the determined proximity of the human resource to the light source;
• cause the processor to generate a graphical representation to be displayed on a display as the indication of the precise or approximate location of the human resource within the industrial facility;
• and
• cause the processor to generate a signal to trip or shut down one or more industrial machines within the industrial facility based on the determined proximity of the human resource to the light source.

A system, comprising:

• a plurality of light sources configured to illuminate an industrial facility, wherein each of the plurality of light sources comprises a transceiver configured to:
• receive a first signal from a wearable electronic device configured to be worn by a human resource within the industrial facility, wherein the first signal comprises a unique identification code of the wearable electronic device and a received signal strength indicator (RSSI);
• and
• generate and transmit a second signal to a control system of the industrial facility based at least in part on the unique identification code and the RSSI of the first signal, wherein the second signal comprises an indication of a location of the wearable electronic device within the industrial facility.
