Zone management system and equipment interlocks
Abstract:
Systems and methods for managing equipment in a workspace such as an oil rig are disclosed. Objects are given zones which are physically larger than the objects. A monitoring system is capable of monitoring the objects and the zones for each object. When zones intersect, a collision is possible and the monitoring system can take action to prevent the collision or mitigate damage in the case of a collision. Further, systems and methods for ensuring the moving components are handed-off properly from one support to another are disclosed.
