Abstract

In cold chains, the essentials of cold storage are the chilling and freezing storage sections. Due to occupational safety concerns for the warehouse workers in such a cold environment, this paper describes a Bluetooth-based access management and positioning system (BAMPS) to monitor worker location and movement in chillers and freezers, inspired by the growth of internet of things. In complying with the ISO11079, their occupational safety in term of exposure duration and recovery time in cold environments can be controlled. The Bluetooth low energy module is used for the transmitting and receiving sensing data in the cold storage environment. The positioning module is designed using Kalman filtering to eliminate signal variations instead of pre-requested calibration. Hence, the workplace ergonomics and monitoring in cold storage environment are enhanced. The significance of BAMPS is in exploring occupational safety management and real-time positioning in cold storage facilities.
基于蓝牙的冷链定位技术
在冷链中,冷藏的关键是冷藏和冷冻储存部分。鉴于仓库工人在如此寒冷的环境中的职业安全问题,受物联网发展的启发,本文介绍了一种基于蓝牙的访问管理和定位系统(BAMPS),用于监测工人在冷藏柜和冷冻柜中的位置和移动。在符合ISO11079的情况下,他们在寒冷环境中的暴露时间和恢复时间方面的职业安全可以得到控制。蓝牙低能耗模块用于在冷藏环境中传输和接收传感数据。定位模块使用卡尔曼滤波来消除信号变化,而不是预先要求的校准。因此,加强了冷藏环境中的工作场所人体工程学和监测。BAMPS的意义在于探索冷藏设施的职业安全管理和实时定位。
