Patent ID: 8648709

Claim:
A computer executable event warning system, comprising: a software application configuration interface that enables identification and definition of one or more zones, wherein each of the zones defines a region within a facility or associated with at least one moveable machine; at least one asset wherein the at least one asset comprises a human; a real time location system that comprises a plurality of sensors that facilitate identification of the precise location of one or more tag identification components, wherein each tag identification component is associated with an associated asset of the at least one asset within the facility or an associated moveable machine of the at least one moveable machine within the facility, wherein two way radio frequency communication with the tag identification components facilitates two-way data packet communication with the tag identification components and identification of the location of the tag identification components; a static zone identification component that facilitates establishment of one or more static zones overlaid upon the facility and associated with a fixed area of the facility; a dynamic zone identification component that facilitates the establishment and automatic and real time control of one or more dynamic zones, wherein each dynamic zone is associated with a distinct moveable machine, and wherein a shape and a size of each dynamic zone continuously vary based at least in part on a velocity, a direction of travel and a proximity to static zones of the associated distinct moveable machine; and an event recognition component that monitors each of the regions in real time and generates a notification based at least in part upon encroachment of one of the assets into one or more zones.
