PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING PROXIMITY EVENTS

摘要

A personal protective equipment device is provided herein. The personal protective equipment device includes a processor and a memory, and the processor is configured to: transmit an advertising signal to other personal protective equipment devices; receive advertising signals from the other personal protective equipment devices when the personal protective equipment device and the other personal protective devices interact with each other; determine, based upon an intensity of the received signals, that one of the received signal intensities is above a predetermined threshold; identify the other personal protective equipment device associated with the received signal above the predetermined threshold; identify the interaction between the personal protective equipment device and the other personal protective equipment device associated with the received signal above the predetermined threshold as a proximity event; and store the proximity event in the memory.
