Abstract

A method, system, and computer readable medium configured to store instructions executable by a processor to identify personnel locations and/or conflicts between personnel and movable machines. The method includes creating, in a database, a dimensional map of an offshore unit, tracking, in the database, locations of the entities in the dimensional map of the offshore unit by receiving at least wireless monitoring from wireless devices associated with both the entities and the offshore unit, obtaining, with a programmable control device, operating parameters of a movable machine operating on the offshore unit, calculating, with the programmable control device, a dynamic movement zone that changes by moving dynamically in the dimensional map in the database based on the operating parameters of the movable machine, detecting, with the programmable control device, a conflict of at least one of the tracked locations interfering with the dynamic movement zone of the movable machine, and outputting the detected conflict with the programmable control device.
