Original Abstract Submitted
methods, apparatuses, and systems for device tracking and geofencing reporting are disclosed herein. an apparatus (e.g., smart radio) carried by a worker includes location tracking and/or machine-to-machine communication components and a speaker. a machine in a work facility that does not otherwise include local, short-range reporting apparatus (e.g., a speaker) is equipped with a sensor suite configured to detect issues therewith. as a worker carrying a smart radio walks by a machine with a detected issue requiring repair or maintenance, the smart radio issues an auditory notification describing the issue, which enables the worker to stop and address the issue while they are in the local area of the machine. the smart radio thus operates as a speaker for the machine. prior to issuing the auditory notification, the smart radio and/or cloud computing system determines whether the worker working proximate to the machine has relevant skills and/or equipment to effect repairs or maintenance on the machine based on worker profiles logged in to the smart radio that include descriptions of the worker's role, skills and/or experience.
