What is Sensor Fusion

Sensor Fusion is the second stage. It joins two kinds of knowledge that have never been in the same place before: what the machine found, and what only people know.

Fusion combines found equipment with place, name and photos supplied by people.

Two halves of the picture

After Sensor Discovery, Bhairava Sense knows which controllers and sensors exist. You know the facility: its floors, its rooms, where the cabinets are and what each sensor is for. On their own, each half is only part of the story. Fusion puts them together.

What you do in this stage

  1. Draw your site as a tree. Add branches such as floors and rooms, and name them in your own words.
  2. Drag what was found onto the branches. Each controller and sensor goes where it belongs.
  3. Add the name, and photos where they help. This is the information that will later tell someone where to go.
  4. Confirm each sensor is working. Bhairava Sense checks that it answers.

None of this needs an engineer. It needs someone who knows the site.

And then it keeps watching

When the tree is ready, it does not stay a drawing. The same tree becomes the live board: green while things report, red where something has stopped. The place, the name and the photos you added are what tell you exactly where to go.

Why the word "fusion"

Because the result is more useful than either ingredient. A list of found equipment tells you what exists. Your knowledge of the site tells you what matters. Together they tell you, at a glance, what has stopped and where to find it.

Discovery finds. Fusion gives meaning, and then keeps watch.
