System and method for triangulating location of wireless process automation transmitter for use by smart glass device

A system for triangulating a location of a wireless process automation transmitter for use by a smart glass device, comprising:

• a network manager in communication with a database of network receiver information and corresponding location information;
• a first wireless process automation transmitter configured to transmit a first join request signal;
• a plurality of network receivers configured to receive the first join request signal and transmit a first set of time of arrival information to the network manager;
• the network manager configured to triangulate a location of the first wireless process automation transmitter based on the location information of the network receivers and the first set of time of arrival information;
• the smart glass device configured to transmit a second join request signal;
• the plurality of network receivers configured to receive the second join request signal and transmit a second set of time of arrival information to the network manager;
• the network manager configured to triangulate a location of the smart glass device based on the location information of the network receivers and the second set of time of arrival information;
• the smart glass device configured to transmit an orientation angle of the smart glass device to the network manager;
• the network manager configured to determine if the first wireless process automation transmitter is in a field of view of the smart glass device based on the location of the first wireless process automation transmitter, the location of the smart glass device, and the orientation angle;
• and
• a display of the smart glass device configured to display information corresponding to the first wireless process automation transmitter when the first wireless process automation transmitter is in the field of view of the smart glass device.
