Abstract: A wearable computing device may be used to track the efficacy of one or more cleaning actions performed. The device can include one or more sensors that detect and measure motion associated with a cleaning event. In different examples, the movement data generated by the device can be compared to reference movement data to determine if the individual has cleaned all the objects they were expected to clean and/or if the individual has cleaned a given object sufficiently well. As another example, the movement data generated by the device can be analyzed to distinguish cleaning and non-cleaning movement actions as well as to distinguish different types of cleaning actions during cleaning movement. The quality of each cleaning action can be evaluated. In any configuration, the device may perform an operation in response to determining that ineffective cleaning is being performed, causing corrected cleaning action to be performed.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a system for detecting when an individual performs a prohibited action during a cleaning event. A wearable computing device that is worn by an individual performing cleaning in an environment detects movement associated with the wearable device during a cleaning event. One or more processors determines, based at least in part on the movement associated with the wearable computing device detected during the cleaning event, whether the individual has performed a prohibited action during the cleaning event. Responsive to determining that the individual performed the prohibited action during the cleaning event, the one or more processors may perform an operation.

Abstract: A method may involve directing a fluid through a fluid path that includes industrial equipment during a phase of a clean-in-place (CIP) process to remove soil from the industrial equipment. The method can include analyzing a turbidity of a bolus of fluid within the fluid path at a first time to provide a first measured turbidity of the bolus of the fluid and at a second time to provide a second measured turbidity of the bolus of the fluid. In some cases, the bolus of the fluid travels through the industrial equipment between the first time and the second time. The method can include determining an end of the phase of the CIP process based on the first measured turbidity and the second measured turbidity, and controlling the CIP process based upon the determined end of the phase.
