Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to mounting devices for fall protection devices and methods of using the same. In various embodiments, a mounting device may comprise a mounting bracket configured for attachment to a materials handling vehicle; a rotary arm rotatably attached to the mounting bracket at an arm base, wherein the rotary arm is configured to rotate relative to the mounting bracket about an axis of rotation defined at the arm base, and wherein the rotary arm defines a webbing retention feature configured for receiving a webbing of a fall protection device to define a dynamic engagement of the rotary arm with an intermediate webbing portion defined along the webbing; a sensing device configured to capture sensor data associated with the intermediate webbing portion; and a controller configured to detect a connection condition associated with the fall protection device based on the sensor data captured by the sensing device.

Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and computer program products for safety compliance determinations are provided. An example method includes receiving three-dimensional (3D) image data indicative of a field of view of a 3D imager that includes a first user upon which to perform a compliance determination. The method further includes generating a fit parameter associated with a safety device of the first user within the field of view of the 3D imager based upon the 3D image data, the fit parameter indicative of an associated positioning of the safety device relative to the first user. The method also includes comparing the fit parameter with a compliance threshold associated with the safety device and generating an alert signal in an instance in which the fit parameter fails to satisfy the compliance threshold. In some instances, the method may supply the 3D image data to an artificial neural network to generate the fit parameter.

Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to apparatuses and methods for detecting a workspace operating condition associated with a workspace. In various embodiments, an apparatus for detecting a workspace operating condition associated with a workspace may comprise an imaging device configured to capture imaging data, the imaging data comprising an image of a first connection location corresponding to a workspace anchor and a second connection location corresponding to an operator attachment; and a controller configured to detect a workspace operating condition associated with the workspace based on the imaging data; wherein the workspace operating condition is defined by a first connection status of a fall protection device at the first connection location and a second connection status of the fall protection device at the second connection location, wherein the controller configured to detect the first connection status and the second connection status based at least in part on the imaging data.

Abstract: Embodiments include a communication system and method for establishing a wireless communication system. A method may comprise monitoring, by a first headset, a distance between the first headset and a second headset; when the distance between the first headset and the second headset is less than a predefined limit, establishing a voice channel between the first headset and the second headset; allowing voice communication via the voice channel between the first headset and the second headset, wherein the first headset and the second headset comprise a microphone and a speaker; and when the distance between the first headset and the second headset increases to greater than the predefined limit, ending the established voice channel between the first headset and the second headset.
