Distributed industrial facility safety system modular remote sensing devices
First Claim
1. An industrial facility safety system, comprising:
- a plurality of removable sensor modules, each of the sensor modules configured to sense a given set of environmental characteristics;
a modular remote sensing device (RSD) configured to accept one or more removable sensor modules of the plurality of removable sensor modules, the modular RSD configured to be carried by a person working in an industrial facility and configured to sense characteristics of an environment surrounding the modular RSD and the person; and
a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program instructions stored thereon that are executable by a processor to cause the following operations;
determining a location associated with the modular RSD;
determining one or more removable sensor modules of the plurality of removable sensor modules to be employed at the location; and
sending, to the modular RSD, an alert instructing installation of the one or more removable sensor modules to be employed at the location into the modular RSD.

Abstract
Provided are systems and methods for distributed industrial facility safety system remote sensing devices. In some embodiments an industrial facility safety system includes a plurality of removable sensor modules, each adapted to sense a given set of environmental characteristics, and a modular remote sensing device (RSD) adapted to accept removable sensor modules and adapted to be carried by a person working in an industrial facility and to sense characteristics of an environment surrounding the modular RSD and the person. The system further including a non-transitory computer readable medium including program instructions executable by a processor to determine a location associated with the modular RSD, to determine one or more removable sensor modules to be employed at the location, and sending, to the modular RSD, an alert instructing installation of the one or more removable sensor modules to be employed at the location, into the modular RSD.

13. A method of industrial facility safety system monitoring, comprising:
-
determining, by a facility safety control system (FSCS), a location associated with a modular remote sensing device (RSD), the modular RSD configured to accept one or more removable sensor modules of a plurality of removable sensor modules, configured to be carried by a person working in an industrial facility and configured to sense characteristics of an environment surrounding the modular RSD and the person; determining, by the FSCS, one or more removable sensor modules of the plurality of removable sensor modules to be employed at the location; sending, by the FSCS to the modular RSD, an alert instructing installation of the one or more removable sensor modules to be employed at the location into the modular RSD; and presenting, by the modular RSD, the alert including instructions for installation of the one or more removable sensor modules to be employed at the location into the modular RSD. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
