Systems and methods are disclosed for managing predictive bottleneck models. The system receives, from a user device, bottleneck data indicating a bottleneck within a facility. The system compiles, based on the received indication, contextual data associated with the bottleneck. The system analyzes the bottleneck data and the contextual data conjunctively and determines a relationship between the bottleneck data and the contextual data. The system updates a predictive bottleneck model based on the determined relationship.

A static memory device including an instrument, a wireless radio, a shared memory, an outgoing memory portion and an incoming memory portion. The instrument includes an environmental sensing device, a hazard detection device, and/or an industrial safety device. The wireless radio sends and receives information on a wireless mesh network. The shared memory is connected to the instrument and wireless radio and includes static message memory having static messages related to the instrument. The outgoing memory portion receives outgoing information from the instrument and transmits the outgoing information to the wireless radio for transmission on the wireless mesh network. The incoming memory portion receives incoming information from the wireless radio and transmits the incoming information to the instrument. The shared memory restricts the wireless radio and the instrument from both raising grant lines and granting data to either the incoming memory portion or the outgoing memory portion simultaneously.

A system including a plurality of network devices including one or more worker monitoring devices and one or more area monitoring devices is provided. The plurality of network devices monitor at least one of a peer alarm, a worker biometric datum or an area environmental datum. The plurality of network devices are structured to communicate with one another in an ad-hoc wireless mesh network. A first network device of the plurality of network devices transmits the at least one peer alarm, worker biometric datum or area environmental datum for presentation on a second network device of the plurality of network devices.

Worker safety system

A method of providing information about a leader node to a plurality of follower nodes in a wireless mesh communication network is provided. The method includes designating the leader node; designating the plurality of follower nodes; and designating one or more predetermined frequency ranges as a public channel. The method further includes from the leader node and during a plurality of network intervals having a predetermined length of time, transmitting a sync message at a beginning of each network interval to the plurality of follower nodes. The method further includes during each network interval in which a sync message is received by any one of the plurality of follower nodes, transmitting from any of the plurality of follower nodes receiving a sync message, on the public channel, a message advertising at least one property of the leader node after receipt of the sync message.

System and method for providing information about a leader node to follower nodes in a wireless mesh communication network

A wireless mesh network including a leader node and a plurality of follower nodes is provided. The leader node transmits a sync message to the plurality of follower nodes indicating a beginning of a network interval. The leader node and the plurality of follower nodes transmit information during a transmission period of the network interval and do not transmit information during a sleep period of the network interval. The leader node and the plurality of follower nodes use less power in the sleep period than in the transmission period; and the plurality of follower nodes each include a timer adapted to time the transmission period and the sleep period for each of a plurality of future network intervals in an absence of continued receipt of the sync message from the leader node during the plurality of future network intervals.

System and method for continuing network intervals in a wireless mesh network

A network for connecting a plurality of network nodes including a leader node and a plurality of follower nodes is provided. The leader node transmits a sync message to the plurality of follower nodes indicating a beginning of a network interval. The sync message contains data indicating a number of network nodes in the network. The leader node and the plurality of follower nodes transmit information during a transmission period of the network interval and do not transmit information during a sleep period of the network interval. The network interval is of a fixed length of time, the transmission period is of a variable length of time based upon the number of network nodes in the network, and the sleep period includes remaining time of the network interval after the transmission period.

System and method for dynamically determining a transmission period of a network interval

A network for connecting a plurality of network nodes includes a leader node and a plurality of follower nodes. The leader node transmits a sync message to the plurality of follower nodes indicating a beginning of a network interval, wherein the leader node and the plurality of follower nodes transmit information during a transmission period and do not transmit information during a sleep period of the network interval, and wherein during a predetermined time of the transmission period of the network interval each of the follower nodes that received the sync message transmit a message advertising one or more properties of the leader node. The network nodes are environmental sensing devices that are part of a worker safety system.
