Impact Monitoring System

A method for identifying operators with frequent impact events in a warehouse environment, comprising:

• providing a plurality of sensor nodes, the plurality of sensor nodes including a plurality of stationary sensor nodes and a plurality of mobile sensor nodes;
• affixing the plurality of stationary sensor nodes to stationary objects in the warehouse environment;
• affixing the plurality of mobile sensor nodes to mobile objects in the warehouse environment, each mobile sensor node being associated with a corresponding mobile object and operator;
• receiving, at a monitor over a time period, data from the plurality of sensor nodes representing a plurality of impact events;
• for each impact event of the plurality of impact events, correlating data from at least one stationary sensor node and at least one mobile sensor node to identify which mobile sensor node was involved in the impact event;
• aggregating the correlated data to determine, for each mobile sensor node, data representing impact events in which the mobile sensor node was involved during the time period;
• and
• identifying, based on the data representing impact events for the mobile sensor nodes, at least one operator is frequently involved in impact events.

A monitoring system for a warehouse environment, comprising:

• a plurality of stationary sensor nodes affixed to stationary objects in the warehouse environment;
• a plurality of mobile sensor nodes affixed to mobile objects in the warehouse environment, each mobile sensor node being associated with a corresponding mobile object and operator;
• and
• a monitor configured to:
• receive, over a time period, data from the plurality of sensor nodes representing a plurality of impact events;
• correlate data from at least one stationary sensor node and at least one mobile sensor node to identify which mobile sensor node was involved in each impact event;
• aggregate the correlated data to determine, for each mobile sensor node, data representing impact events in which the mobile sensor node was involved during the time period;
• and
• identify, based on the data representing impact events for the mobile sensor nodes, at least one operator is frequently involved in impact events.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a monitor in a warehouse environment, cause the monitor to:

• receive, over a time period, data from a plurality of stationary sensor nodes affixed to stationary objects and a plurality of mobile sensor nodes affixed to mobile objects in the warehouse environment, each mobile sensor node being associated with a corresponding mobile object and operator;
• correlate data from at least one stationary sensor node and at least one mobile sensor node to identify which mobile sensor node was involved in each of a plurality of impact events;
• aggregate the correlated data to determine, for each mobile sensor node, data representing impact events in which the mobile sensor node was involved during the time period;
• and
• identify, based on the data representing impact events for the mobile sensor nodes, at least one operator is frequently involved in impact events.
