Determining compatibility of components for assembling approved personal protection configurations
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- at least a first component of an article of PPE configured with a first smart tag that stores first data;
at least a second component of the article of PPE, the second component being different from the first component; and
a computing device configured to;
select the first data from the first smart tag and second data that corresponds to the second component;
determine whether the first component is compatible with the second component as a combination assembled to form the article of PPE, wherein compatibility is based at least in part on a determination of the first and second data against a predetermined criterion that defines, for a work environment that has at least one condition, an approved combination of components to be used together, wherein the approved combination of components includes components that have been matched by at least one identifier as being compatible with respect to the work environment, and wherein the approved combination is included in a set of approved combinations; and
perform at least one operation that is based at least in part on whether the first component is compatible with the second component for the work environment that has the at least one condition.

Abstract
This disclosure relates generally to methods and systems for determining whether at least a first component and a second component of a personal protection (PP) configuration are compatible so as to be assembled into an approved PP configuration, responsive to being compared against at least one predetermined criterion. Included is a smart tag for each of the first and second components. The first and second smart tags include respective first and second data. A data acquiring system is provided for acquiring the first and second data and a data processing system processes the acquired first and second data for determining if the first and second components are compatible to be assembled as an approved PP configuration.

9. A computing device comprising:
- one or more computer processors; and
a memory comprising instructions that when executed by the one or more computer processors cause the one or more computer processors to;
select first data from a first smart tag and second data that corresponds to at least a second component, wherein the first smart tag is configured with at least a first component of an article of PPE, and wherein the second component of the article of PPE is different from the first component;
determine whether the first component is compatible with the second component as a combination assembled to form the article of PPE, wherein compatibility is based at least in part on a determination of the first and second data against a predetermined criterion that defines, for a work environment that has at least one condition, an approved combination of components to be used together, wherein the approved combination of components includes components that have been matched by at least one identifier as being compatible with respect to the work environment, and wherein the approved combination is included in a set of approved combinations; and
perform at least one operation that is based at least in part on whether the first component is compatible with the second component for the work environment that has the at least one condition. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method comprising:
- selecting first data from a first smart tag and second data that corresponds to at least a second component, wherein the first smart tag is configured with at least a first component of an article of PPE, and wherein the second component of the article of PPE is different from the first component;
determining, by a computing device, whether the first component is compatible with the second component as a combination assembled to form the article of PPE, wherein compatibility is based at least in part on a determination of the first and second data against a predetermined criterion that defines, for a work environment that has at least one condition, an approved combination of components to be used together, wherein the approved combination of components includes components that have been matched by at least one identifier as being compatible with respect to the work environment, and wherein the approved combination is included in a set of approved combinations; and
