The patent US12033751B2 outlines a method and system for managing safety and risk in remote workplaces through the integration of a local network, sensors, and edge computing technology. The method involves collecting data from various sensors and user devices, with the local network's geo-location determining the data transmission scheme to a cloud server. This scheme specifies the data portions to be transmitted, their timing, and frequency. The data stream is processed by trained predictive models to forecast hazardous conditions in the work zone and assess the health status of users. A dynamic geofencing area is then established, adjusting its boundaries based on predicted hazards and user health conditions, thereby regulating user access and duration within the area.

The system comprises a local network on a movable object, an edge computing device, and various sensors, including those on wearable user devices. These sensors monitor parameters such as heart rate, activity level, temperature, and humidity, enabling the calculation of health metrics like fatigue and heat stress. The edge computing device processes this data to predict potential hazards and health risks, facilitating real-time safety management. Permissions for user access to the dynamic geofencing area can be determined based on health conditions or supervisory input, with the system capable of generating reports for further analysis. Overall, this patent presents a comprehensive approach to enhancing safety and risk management in remote work environments through advanced data processing and predictive analytics.
