Abstract

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.

Claims (40)

1. A computer-implemented method to manage an industrial plant facility, the method comprising:

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, wherein the event is an emergency occurring inside the industrial plant facility and in proximity to at least one operator of the industrial plant facility;

based on the event, generating a notification to alert the at least one operator of the industrial plant facility, wherein the notification is an alert sent to a wearable device worn by the at least one operator to notify the emergency;

dynamically calculating an escape route to guide the at least one operator to safety based on, at least in part, where the emergency is occurring at the industrial plant facility and the multiple streams of input data from the network of sensors; and

providing the escape route to the wearable device worn by the at least one operator such that the escape route is dynamically updated on the wearable device as the at least one operator starts to escape from the emergency and as the emergency unfolds.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein monitoring multiple streams of input data from a network of sensors comprises:

accessing streams of data from at least one of: an aerial scanning at the industrial plant facility, a mobile scanning at the industrial plant facility, and a floor scanning at the industrial plant facility,

wherein the aerial scanning comprises: operating one or more surveillance drones to monitor the industrial plant facility,

wherein the mobile scanning comprises: operating one or more moveable sensors to monitor the industrial plant facility,

wherein the floor scanning comprises: operating one or more fixed sensors to monitor the industrial plant facility, and

wherein at least one of the one or more surveillance drones, the one or more moveable sensors, or the one or more fixed sensors comprise: the one or more camera devices.

3. A computer system comprising:

a network of sensors comprising one or more camera devices;

a processor; and

at least one memory,

wherein at least one memory comprise software instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor perform operations to manage an industrial plant facility, the operations comprising:

monitoring multiple streams of input data from the network of sensors at the industrial plant facility;

determining an event during construction or operation of the industrial plant facility based on analyzing the multiple streams of input data in real-time wherein the event is an emergency occurring inside the industrial plant facility and in proximity to at least one operator of the industrial plant facility;

based on the event, generating a notification to alert at least one operator of the industrial plant facility, wherein the notification is an alert sent to a wearable device worn by the at least one operator to notify the emergency;

dynamically calculating an escape route to guide the at least one operator to safety based on, at least in part, where the emergency is occurring at the industrial plant facility and the multiple streams of input data from the network of sensors; and

providing the escape route to the wearable device worn by the at least one operator such that the escape route is dynamically displayed on the wearable device as the at least one operator starts to escape from the emergency and as the emergency unfolds.

4. The computer system of claim 3 , wherein monitoring multiple streams of input data from a network of sensors comprises:

accessing streams of data from at least one of: an aerial scanning at the industrial plant facility, a mobile scanning at the industrial plant facility, and a floor scanning at the industrial plant facility,

wherein the aerial scanning comprises: operating one or more surveillance drones to monitor the industrial plant facility,

wherein the mobile scanning comprises: operating one or more moveable sensors to monitor the industrial plant facility,

wherein the floor scanning comprises: operating one or more fixed sensors to monitor the industrial plant facility, and

wherein at least one of the one or more surveillance drones, the one or more moveable sensors, or the one or more fixed sensors comprise: the one or more camera devices.

5. A non-volatile computer readable medium comprising software instructions, which, when executed by a computer processor, cause the computer processor to perform operations to manage an industrial plant facility, the operations comprising:

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 an event during construction or operation of the industrial plant facility based on analyzing the multiple streams of input data in real-time, wherein the event is an emergency occurring inside the industrial plant facility and in proximity to at least one operator of the industrial plant facility;

based on the event, generating a notification to alert at least one operator of the industrial plant facility, wherein the notification is an alert sent to a wearable device worn by the at least one operator to notify the emergency;

dynamically calculating an escape route to guide the at least one operator to safety based on, at least in part, where the emergency is occurring at the industrial plant facility and the multiple streams of input data from the network of sensors; and

providing the escape route to the wearable device worn by the at least one operator such that the escape route is dynamically updated on the wearable device as the at least one operator starts to escape from the emergency and as the emergency unfolds.

6. The non-volatile computer readable medium of claim 5 , wherein monitoring multiple streams of input data from a network of sensors comprises:

accessing streams of data from at least one of: an aerial scanning at the industrial plant facility, a mobile scanning at the industrial plant facility, and a floor scanning at the industrial plant facility,

wherein the aerial scanning comprises: operating one or more surveillance drones to monitor the industrial plant facility,

wherein the mobile scanning comprises: operating one or more moveable sensors to monitor the industrial plant facility,

wherein the floor scanning comprises: operating one or more fixed sensors to monitors the industrial plant facility, and

wherein at least one of the one or more surveillance drones, the one or more moveable sensors, or the one or more fixed sensors comprise: the one or more camera devices.
