Claim One:
1. A method for performing industrial automation control, comprising: detecting, via a range camera system, positions or motions of a human in a predetermined space; determining a possible automation command corresponding to the detected positions or motions; receiving an automation system signal indicative of a presence of the human in the predetermined space during a time interval from a sensor system separate from the range camera system, wherein the sensor system is configured to generate the automation system signal during the time interval; confirming the possible automation command in response to the automation system signal indicating that the time interval corresponds to when the positions or motions of the human are detected in the predetermined space; implementing a control or notification action associated with the determined possible automation command in response to the received automation system signal confirming that the human is located in the predetermined space during the time interval; and implementing the control action in response to the automation system signal matching an expected automation system signal of a plurality of expected automation system signals, wherein the expected automation system signal is determined based on the detected positions or motions, wherein each of a plurality possible automation commands is associated with a respective one of the plurality of expected automation signals.
