A pedestrian monitoring system for a warehouse

A method of monitoring pedestrians in a warehouse, wherein the method comprises:

• receiving first-RFID-signalling from a first RFID antenna mounted on a vehicle;
• receiving second-RFID-signalling from a second RFID antenna mounted on the vehicle, wherein a field of view of the first RFID antenna is spaced apart from a field of view of the second RFID antenna in a first dimension;
• identifying an RFID-tag-signal from an RFID tag that is associated with a pedestrian in the first-RFID-signalling;
• identifying an RFID-tag-signal from the RFID tag that is associated with the pedestrian in the second-RFID-signalling;
• and
• determining a location of the pedestrian with reference to the vehicle based on the RFID-tag-signals in both the first-RFID-signalling and the second-RFID-signalling.

A controller for monitoring pedestrians in a warehouse, wherein the controller is configured to:

• receive first-RFID-signalling from a first RFID antenna associated with a pedestrian access point in a warehouse;
• identify that a pedestrian is passing, has passed, or is about to pass, through the pedestrian access point, and in response:
• process the first-RFID-signalling to identify any RFID-tag-signals from one or more respective RFID tags that:
• are associated with the pedestrian identified as passing through the pedestrian access point;
• and include a PPE-identifier that is associated with an item of PPE that can be worn by the pedestrian;
• determine whether or not any identified RFID-tag-signals represent a complete set of PPE items for the pedestrian;
• and
• generate an alert-output-signal if an incomplete set of PPE items is determined.
