Abstract: A wireless hoist system including a first hoist device having a first motor and a first wireless transceiver and a second hoist device having a second motor and a second wireless transceiver. The wireless hoist system includes a controller in wireless communication with the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless. The controller is configured to receive a user input and determine a first operation parameter and a second operation parameter based on the user input. The controller is also configured to provide, wirelessly, a first control signal indicative of the first operation parameter to the first hoist device and provide, wirelessly, a second control signal indicative of the second operation parameter to the second hoist device. The first hoist device operates based on the first control signal and the second hoist device operates based on the second control signal.

Abstract: An exemplary method of generating a model of a physical environment includes generating a physical model of the physical environment using measured data from the physical environment, where the physical model includes spatial data about objects in the physical environment, correlating the physical model of the physical environment with a process model including components in the physical environment and interconnections between the components reflecting connections between the components in the physical environment, and generating the model of the physical environment by correlating the physical model of the physical environment with components of the process model based on information from a relational model associated with the physical environment, where the relational model includes probability distributions regarding component attributes of the components and relationships between components.
