Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The subject matter described herein relates to navigation, location tracking, and personnel and equipment management in industrial environments. [Background technology]

[0002] Asset management systems often include a variety of features to directly access and manage industrial equipment. Often, industrial equipment is located in areas that are hazardous or unsafe for a human operator to walk through or enter to assess the equipment. Hazardous areas require the operator to wear specific protective equipment (PPE) in order to safely assess the equipment. Often, the equipment must be accessed along a specific route or navigation path that traverses one or more hazardous areas. It can be difficult for an operator to determine a safe and hazard-free path to reach a particular industrial equipment and what PPE they should wear to safely navigate to that equipment. Existing asset management systems lack the functionality required to properly inform the operator of safe or unsafe areas, the appropriate route through safe areas while avoiding unsafe areas, and timely and specific instructions on the PPE required to travel to the industrial equipment along the specific navigation route.

[0015] Industrial environments contain a variety of industrial equipment that is located in safe, non-hazardous locations, as well as equipment that is located in unsafe, hazardous locations. Operators who evaluate, repair, and maintain the equipment may be required to travel through hazardous areas to perform tasks related to the equipment. It is beneficial for operators to know the location of unsafe, hazardous areas in addition to safe, non-hazardous areas to evacuate to in the event of an emergency. Often, large industrial environments have small, distributed teams of operators on-site who must rely on their individual experience and personal knowledge to safely travel to the equipment with the appropriate PPE and perform tasks related to the industrial equipment.

[0016] Existing asset management systems may not provide live viewing or tracking of the location of individual operators deployed or assigned to assess or address specific equipment. The lack of live tracking makes it impossible to know the location of operators in hazardous environments or the status of operators in safe environments. Additionally, traditional asset management systems often do not include navigation features that would help new or inexperienced operators locate equipment or distinguish between hazardous and non-hazardous locations within an industrial environment. It would be beneficial to have these capabilities, which are lacking in existing asset management systems, available on a handheld computing device that operators can carry as they move through hazardous and non-hazardous areas to assess and monitor industrial equipment.

[0017] The systems and methods described herein can address shortcomings of existing asset management systems to provide safe navigation routes and routes around hazardous locations in industrial environments. In some embodiments, the systems and methods can provide notifications or alerts regarding an operator's real-time location, PPE status or requirements, route or navigation plans, and the like. The systems and methods described herein can assist operators in industrial environments to perform tasks related to equipment safely and with appropriate protective equipment, regardless of the operator's level of expertise or personal knowledge of hazardous conditions near or at the facility in which the equipment is located.

[0018] The systems and methods described herein can provide various users of the system with better real-time information regarding the location and status of operators in an industrial environment. This is advantageous not only for accessing facilities and crossing dangerous areas to access facilities, but also during emergency evacuation. The systems and methods described herein can provide safe and accurate evacuation routes and maps to non-hazardous assembly points. Integration with other data systems (such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications or permit to work (PTW) systems) can also be configured with the systems described herein, allowing operators or maintenance personnel with little or no experience at the facility's location to safely and efficiently perform maintenance activities on the facility. In some embodiments, the systems described herein can be configured in an oil and gas production environment, although the system can be deployed in other environments without limitation.

[0019] Figure 1 illustrates an example architecture of a system in accordance with the subject matter described herein. As shown in Figure 1, architecture 100 can include a client device 105, a server 110, and a database 115 coupled over a network 120. In some embodiments, data can be exchanged between client device 105, server 110, and database 115.

[0020] The client device 105 may include various form factors (e.g., mobile computing device, laptop computer, desktop computer, smartphone, tablet computing device, etc.). In some embodiments, the client device 105 may be an inspection device (e.g., a video borescope) used to inspect industrial equipment. In some embodiments, the client device 105 may include one or more applications configured in the systems described herein. For example, the client 105 may include a computing device, a processor, and a memory that stores computer-readable executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform a method according to the application. In some embodiments, the application is an ERP application, a PTW application, a Global Positioning System (GPS) application, a route guidance and navigation application, an equipment identification application, etc.

[0021] The server 110 may similarly include a processor and a memory storing computer readable executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform a method according to the application configured by the application or instructions in the memory stored on the server 110. The server 110 may be configured to receive data from the client device 105 and generate data related to route guidance or navigation, industrial equipment, PPE, alerts, notifications, and the like. For example, the server 110 may determine and provide route or navigation data in the form of features, maps, directions that identify the industrial equipment or the industrial environment in which the industrial equipment is located. The server 110 may receive GPS data from the client device 105 and generate route and navigation data for the operator. In some embodiments, the server 110 may determine and provide an alternative route or a dynamically generated route or navigation path to the operator. The server 110 may provide up-to-date and live tracking data for the operator in the industrial environment. The server 110 may determine and generate alerts or notifications related to PPE required for a particular equipment or area of ​​the industrial environment or PPE specific to a particular equipment or area of ​​the industrial environment. In some embodiments, server 110 may include a database (such as database 115 shown in dashed lines in FIG. 1).

[0022] The database 115 may include memory or similar data storage formats used to store data and applications related to industrial equipment, map or route data and navigation data, PPE, and the like. For example, the database 115 may include a model of a factory or industrial environment. The model may include 3D models and map data identifying hazardous and non-hazardous areas of the industrial environment. The database 115 may also include equipment data (such as storage locations or records of spare parts and inventory of components of industrial equipment). The equipment data may include QR codes or similar data that identify the equipment. The database 115 may include historical or troubleshooting data related to defects or maintenance issues associated with the equipment. The database 115 may include inventory data describing the location and availability of spare parts for the equipment. The database 115 may also include a database of equipment or devices, calibration reports, equipment data sheets, and operating procedures that describe how to safely operate the industrial equipment. In some embodiments, the database 115 may include PTW data and shift log data.

[0023] Network 120 may include, for example, any one or more of a personal area network (PAN), a local area network (LAN), a campus area network (CAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), a wide area network (WAN), a broadband network (BBN), the Internet, etc. Additionally, network 120 may include any one or more of network topologies such as, but not limited to, a bus network, a star network, a ring network, a mesh network, a star-bus network, a tree, and a hierarchical network.

[0024] Figure 2 is a diagram illustrating a workflow 200 that may be operated using the system of Figure 1. As shown in Figure 2, the workflow 200 may be executed using a client device 105, a server 110, and a database 115, all of which may communicate over a network 120. The client device 105 of the system described herein may include a maintenance application or a PTW application configured to monitor and alert an operator regarding a condition or status of an industrial facility.

[0025] At 205, an operator inspecting an industrial equipment 210 using a configured client device 105 can generate an alert or indication of a fault alarm at a particular location for a member of a maintenance team. The industrial equipment 210 can be a machine or part thereof located within an oil and gas production environment. For example, the equipment 210 can include valves, compressors, engines, turbines, storage vessels, pipes, pipelines, etc. At 215, the maintenance team can open or create a permit to work to inspect the equipment for the fault alarm and perform the necessary maintenance on the equipment. At 220, the maintenance team can identify the equipment 210 by retrieving a device-specific tag 225 associated with the equipment 210 from the database 115. For example, the client device 105 can be a handheld inspection device with a QR code scanner that is used to scan the QR code 225 to identify the equipment 210. In response to identifying the equipment, the client device 105, through the server 110, may receive from the database 115 past maintenance data for the equipment 210 and any inspection or maintenance procedures required to address fault alarms. The client device 105, through the server 110, may also receive from the database 115 details of PPE requirements that will be needed for the operator to perform the maintenance.

[0026] As further illustrated in FIG. 2, the workflow 200 can include providing one or more displays of navigation data and / or visual representations of the equipment or industrial facility. The navigation data and / or visual representations of the equipment or industrial facility can be stored in the database 115 and provided to the client device 105 through the server device 110. For example, the client device 105 can receive and provide a map 230 including the current location of the operator / client device 105, a safe destination location, and a route or navigation path to reach the safe destination location. The map 230 can be provided not only during an emergency evacuation, but also for the equipment being evaluated. For example, the map 230 can include a navigation route to approach or leave the equipment via a safe route that avoids dangerous areas. The map 230 can also be configured to display PPE requirements for approaching the equipment, leaving the equipment, or passing through dangerous areas. The map 230 can be configured to track the operator in real time and provide guidance to the nearest assembly point during an emergency.

[0027] 2, the workflow 200 can include the client device 105 receiving and presenting an equipment diagram 235. The equipment diagram 235 can include a schematic diagram of the equipment and identify hazardous and non-hazardous areas of the equipment. The client device 105 can also receive and provide a facility diagram 240. The facility diagram 240 can highlight hazardous and non-hazardous areas of the industrial facility in which the equipment is located, escape or evacuation routes, and assembly points. The equipment diagram 235 and facility diagram 240 can also indicate where specific PPE is required.

The map may be generated by the system of FIG. 1. In some embodiments, the map 300 may be provided on a display of the client device 105. The map 300 may include one or more PPE requirements 315 that are required to be worn or utilized when in the vicinity of the industrial facility 210. The route 305 may be determined to avoid hazardous areas 320, and thus route the user through only non-hazardous areas 325.

[0029] 4 is an image of an example embodiment of a facility diagram 400 of the industrial facility 210. The facility diagram 400 may be generated by the system of FIG. 1 and may include a schematic diagram of the industrial facility 210. In some embodiments, the facility diagram 400 may identify hazardous areas 405 and non-hazardous areas 410 of the industrial facility 210. In this manner, a user may safely traverse the non-hazardous areas 410 to access the industrial facility 210 and avoid the hazardous areas 405.

[0030] Figure 5 is an image of an example embodiment of a facility plan 500 of the industrial facility 210 that may be generated by the system of Figure 1. The facility plan 500 may include an escape route 505 to an emergency assembly point 510.

[0031] FIG. 6 is a block diagram 600 of a computing system 610 suitable for use in implementing the computerized components described herein. Broadly speaking, the computing system 610 includes at least one processor 650 for performing operations according to instructions and one or more memory devices 660 and / or 670 for storing instructions and data. The illustrated exemplary computing system 610 includes one or more processors 650 that communicate with a memory 670 and at least one network interface controller 620 through a bus 615. The controller 620 has a network interface 625 for connecting to an external device 630, such as a computing device (such as a client device 105 or a server 110). The one or more processors 650 also communicate with each other, with any I / O devices in one or more I / O interfaces 630, and with any other devices 680 through the bus 615. The illustrated processor 650 includes a cache memory 660 or is directly connected to the cache memory 660. Generally, a processor executes instructions received from a memory. In some embodiments, computing system 610 may be configured in a cloud computing environment, a virtualized or containerized computing environment, and / or a web-based microservices environment.

[0032] More specifically, processor 650 may be any logic circuitry that processes instructions (e.g., instructions fetched from memory 670 or cache 660). In many embodiments, processor 650 is an embedded processor, a microprocessor unit, or a special purpose processor. Computing system 610 is based on any processor (e.g., a suitable digital signal processor (DSP), or set of processors) capable of operating as described herein. In some embodiments, processor 650 may be a single-core or multi-core processor. In some embodiments, processor 650 may be comprised of multiple processors.

The computing device 610 may have any number of memory devices 670.

[0034] Cache memory 660 is a form of high-speed computer memory that is generally located close to processor 650 for fast read / write times. In some implementations, cache memory 660 is part of processor 650 or on the same chip as processor 650.

[0035] The network interface controller 620 manages data exchange through the network interface 625. The network interface controller 620 handles the physical layer, the media access control layer, and the data link layer of the Open Systems Interconnection Model (OSI model) for network communication. In some implementations, some of the tasks of the network interface controller are handled by the processor 650. In some implementations, the network interface controller 620 is part of the processor 650. In some implementations, the computing device 610 has multiple network interface controllers 620. In some implementations, the network interface 625 is a connection point for a physical network link, e.g., an RJ45 connector. In some implementations, the network interface controller 620 supports wireless network connections through the network interface port 625. In general, the computing device 610 exchanges data with other network devices 630 (such as the computing device 630) through a physical or wireless link to the network interface 625. In some implementations, the network interface controller 620 implements a network protocol (such as LTE, TCP / IP Ethernet, IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.16, etc.).

[0036] Other computing devices 630 are connected to computing device 610 through network interface port 625. Other computing devices 630 may be peer computing devices, network devices, or any other computing devices with network capabilities. For example, computing devices 630 may be additional client devices 105 (e.g., client devices 105 configured with ERP, PTW, or GPS applications). In some embodiments, computing devices 630 may include additional service devices 110. In some embodiments, computing devices 630 may be network devices (e.g., hubs, bridges, switches, or routers) that connect computing device 610 to a data network (e.g., the Internet).

[0037] In some applications, the I / O interface 630 supports input and / or output devices (not shown). In some applications, the input and output devices are integrated into the same hardware (e.g., a touch screen). In some applications, such as in a server context, there is no I / O interface 630 or the I / O interface 630 is not used. In some applications, other additional components 680 communicate with the computer system 610 (e.g., external devices connected through a universal serial bus (USB)).

[0038] Other devices 680 may include an I / O interface 640, an external serial device port, and additional coprocessors. For example, the computing system 610 may include interfaces (e.g., a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface, etc.) for connecting input devices (e.g., a keyboard, microphone, mouse, or other pointing device), output devices (e.g., a video display, a speaker, a refreshable Braille terminal, or a printer), or additional memory devices (e.g., a portable flash drive or an external media drive). In some implementations, the computing system 610 incorporates an I / O device, such as a touch screen in a tablet device. In some implementations, the computing device 610 includes additional devices 680, such as a coprocessor (e.g., a mathematical coprocessor that can assist the processor 650 with high-precision or complex calculations).
