RFID/biometric area protection

This invention describes a safety system for industrial environments. It uses RFID tags, like those found on ID badges, to identify a person's location and their authorized access level. If someone with an RFID tag gets too close to a piece of machinery, or if their access level doesn't permit them to be in that specific area, the system automatically puts the machine into a safe mode, such as slowing it down or stopping it, to prevent accidents.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread adoption of precise RFID localization and robust industrial IoT platforms. Modern systems offer more granular tracking and easier integration with diverse industrial machinery, making such safety systems more practical and cost-effective.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedIndustrial control integration, safety software, RFID hardware.
