System or process to detect, discriminate, aggregate, track, and rank safety related information in a collaborative workspace

A method for mitigating predicted industrial hazards, comprising:

• receiving, by a system comprising a processor, sensor data from industrial sensor devices that monitor for presence of entities within an industrial area;
• identifying, by the system based on an analysis of the sensor data, entities that are present within the industrial area;
• classifying, by the system, the entities according to two or more classifications, wherein the two or more classifications comprise at least a human entity and a hazardous entity;
• applying, by the system for each subset of the sensor data corresponding to an entity of the entities, a weight value to the subset of the sensor data representing a determined accuracy of the subset of the sensor data to yield weighed sensor data;
• for each entity of the entities:
• determining, by the system, a measured trajectory of the entity within the industrial area based on an aggregation of subsets of the weighted sensor data corresponding to the entity;
• predicting, by the system, one or more future trajectories of the entity based on analysis of the measured trajectory and one or more constraints of the entity defined by characteristic constraint data;
• and
• combining, by the system, the measured trajectory and the one or more future trajectories to yield vector data for the entity;
• predicting, by the system, a future hazardous interaction between a first entity of the entities and a second entity of the entities based on analysis of first vector data corresponding to the first entity and second vector data corresponding to the second entity;
• and
• in response to determining that the future hazardous interaction satisfies a defined criterion, generating, by the system, a control output signal directed to a device in the industrial area,
• wherein the control output signal is configured to at least one of notify at least one of the first entity or the second entity of the hazardous interaction or to initiate a change of a controlled behavior of at least one of the first entity or the second entity to mitigate the hazardous interaction.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving, from industrial sensor devices, sensor data representing monitored characteristics of an industrial area;
• identifying, based on an analysis of the sensor data, entities within the industrial area;
• classifying the entities according to at least two classifications, wherein the at least two classifications comprise at least a human entity and a hazardous entity;
• for each subset of the sensor data corresponding to an entity of the entities, assigning a weight value to the subset of the sensor data to yield weighed sensor data, the weight value representing a determined reliability of the subset of the sensor data;
• for each entity of the entities:
• aggregating subsets of the weight sensor data corresponding to the entity to yield a measured trajectory of the entity within the industrial area;
• predicting one or more future trajectories of the entity based on analysis of the measured trajectory and one or more constraints of the entity defined by characteristic constraint data;
• and
• combining the measured trajectory and the one or more future trajectories to yield vector data for the entity;
• predicting a future hazardous interaction between a first entity of the entities and a second entity of the entities based on analysis of first vector data corresponding to the first entity and second vector data corresponding to the second entity;
• and
• in response to determining that the future hazardous interaction satisfies a defined criterion, generating a control output signal directed to a device within the industrial area,
• wherein the control output signal is configured to at least one of notify at least one of the first entity or the second entity of the hazardous interaction or to alter a controlled behavior of the at least one of the first entity or the second entity to mitigate the hazardous interaction.
