1. An industrial automation system that evaluates proximity to potential hazards, comprising: a plurality of sensors that provide redundant detected data; a proximity evaluation component that evaluates the detected data, determines a location of at least one of a person and an object, and identifies a distance from the location to one or more hazardous zones in a monitored region; and a safety logic component that utilizes the distance from the location to the one or more hazardous zones to yield a corresponding response, the safety logic component at least comprises a weighting component that weights distance related information based upon a likelihood of accurate measurement related to each of the plurality of sensors.
