    Abstract: Beacons that transmit identification signals are located on equipment that workers may utilize during the course of their jobs. A server may define parameters about the equipment the beacons are located on and geo-fences around areas of interest. A worker carriers a wireless device that is capable of receiving the beacon signals and determining location of the worker. The wireless device has an activity tracking app running thereon that can communicate with the server. A determination is made as to the equipment assigned to the worker based on the beacon signals received by the worker and if the worker is within an area of interest based on their location. Activities can be initiated for the worker based on the defined area and the equipment (e.g., if worker is assigned a tractor and a mower and is within field 1, the activity the worker is assigned is mowing field 1).
