1. A system for detecting spills comprising:

  • a plurality of audio sensors configured to detect a sound potentially associated with an object spilling on a surface;

    a sound processing module executed by a processor in a processing device, the sound processing module configured to;

    perform an analysis of the sound detected by the plurality of audio sensors;

    compare the analysis of the sound detected by the plurality of audio sensors against a database of known sounds corresponding to a plurality of types of spill incidents;

    identify the object spilled based on a match between the analysis of the sound and a type of spill incident in the database of known sounds; and

    a location analysis module executed by the processor, the location analysis module configured to;

    triangulate sensor data from the plurality of audio sensors to determine a location associated with the sound detected by the plurality of audio sensors.
