The present disclosure describes a computer-implemented method to manage an industrial plant facility, the method including: monitoring multiple streams of input data from a network of sensors at the industrial plant facility, wherein the network of sensors include one or more camera devices; determining, by a server computer, an event during construction or operation of the industrial plant facility based on analyzing the multiple streams of input data in real-time; and based on the determined event, generating a notification to alert at least one operator of the industrial plant facility.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PERSONNEL LOCATION AT A DRILLING SITE
Systems and methods for determining the location of personnel on a drilling site. A computer vision system can automatically identify and determine the locations of personnel on a drilling site, can generate a confidence map of the locations, and can display the locations of the personnel on a map of the drilling site. The system and methods also include taking corrective action when a person's location is determined to be unsafe, such as by inhibiting or causing automated actions with respect to machinery and equipment at the drilling site. The systems and methods may include the use of multiple cameras or video sources located at the drilling site and may be coupled to a control system to control machinery or equipment at the drilling site.
