Method And System For Workflow Modification

A method for workflow modification in a facility, the method comprising:

• knowing a first workflow a priori;
• receiving a plurality of signals at a plurality of sensors from a plurality of communication devices, each of the plurality of communication devices associated with an object or a person, each of the plurality of sensors positioned at a plurality of locations in a facility for real-time location tracking of persons and/or objects;
• transmitting the plurality of signals to a location engine;
• determining at the location engine a location of at least one object or person;
• determining a departure from the first workflow;
• and
• determining a second workflow.

A system for workflow modification in a facility, the system comprising:

• a plurality of sensors positioned at a plurality of locations in a facility for real-time location tracking of persons and/or objects;
• a plurality of communication devices, each of the plurality of communication devices associated with an object or a person, each of the plurality of communication devices configured to transmit a signal to at least one of the plurality of sensors;
• and
• a location engine in communication with the plurality of sensors, the location engine configured to determine a location of at least one object or person, determine a first workflow from at least one location of the object or the person, and determine a departure from the first workflow.
