Abstract
A system includes a control system. The control system includes a processor configured to receive a first signal from a light source within an industrial facility. The first signal includes a unique identification code configured to indicate at least a partial identity of a human resource within the industrial facility. The processor is configured to determine a proximity of the human resource with respect to the light source based at least in part on a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of the first signal, and to generate an indication of a location of the human resource within the industrial facility based on the determined proximity of the human resource to the light source.
