Disclosed herein are techniques for automatically mitigating overlapping labels associated with pie charts. In particular, the techniques involve migrating positions of the labels in response to adjustments of the pie chart to ensure that the labels are distributed in a non-overlapping, uniform, and aesthetically-pleasing manner.

A server-based nuclear containment operations system can be used to monitor structures, systems, components, and personnel within the containment building of a nuclear power facility. The disclosed and claimed concepts relate generally to a method for utilizing near field communication (NFC) on a mobile client device having the dynamic capabilities of a logic-based computerized procedures system (CPS). The client permits the execution of procedures remotely in the field while monitoring the real-time current state and operation of the systems, components, and sensors of a large facility such as a nuclear power plant. This system consists of a client and server application which provide real-time monitoring of procedure adherence and place keeping, facility clearance information, and work order administration (including tracking an operator's procedure adherence) and further provides a capability for operator input. The client portion of the system is wireless and is designed to be taken into the field, which would include areas such as radiological and hazardous area where retrieval of completed paperwork can be impractical. The client has the capability to use NFC for physical component identification which enables clearance verification.
