# Adaptive multimodal safety systems and methods for bridge crane safety

## Abstract

A system is provided for managing safety of bridge cranes in an industrial environment. The system comprises: (a) a first real-time locating component for generating a first location data stream about a crane within the industrial environment; (b) a second real-time locating component for generating a second location data stream about mobile persons and objects within the industrial environment; (c) one or more processors in communication with the first real-time locating component and the second and configured to: synchronizing the first location data stream and the second location data stream, converting the first location data stream into a coordinate of the second time locating component, and determine a collision event between the crane and the movable object; and (d) optionally a component using optical/infrared sensors (camera, LIDAR, etc.) backed by artificial intelligence for visualization and high-level analytics.
