1. A system comprising:
- a plurality of articles of personal protective equipment (PPE), wherein each article of the plurality of articles of PPE has a respective smart tag that includes an identifier of the respective article;
a scanner configured read each respective smart tag associated with each respective article of PPE; and
a computing device communicatively coupled to the scanner, wherein the computing device;
receives, from the scanner, a plurality of identifiers that correspond to the plurality of articles of PPE and determines a first timestamp that indicates when an individual wearing the plurality of PPE entered a designated area;
stores, at the computing device and in association with an identifier of an individual, the first timestamp and the plurality of identifiers that correspond to the plurality of articles of PPE;
receives, from the scanner, the plurality of identifiers that correspond to the plurality of articles of PPE and determines a second timestamp that indicates when the individual wearing the plurality of PPE exited the designated area; and
generates an output based at least in part on processing one or more of the first timestamp or the second timestamp in combination with a predetermined time interval associated with at least one article of the plurality of articles of PPE.
