1. A computer-implemented method for detecting connection of a connector to a connection structure, the connection structure having a connection loop, a connection anchor, and a passive identification element laterally disposed on a crossbar between the connection loop and the connection anchor so as to spatially separate the connection loop from the connection anchor, the connector comprising a frame having an opening and a connection area configured for receiving the connection structure therein and a connection sensor assembly associated with the frame, the connection sensor assembly comprising at least one short-range wireless communication antenna configured for gathering connection data based on detecting a presence or an absence of the passive identification element on the connection structure when the connection structure is received within the connection area of the frame, the method comprising:
receiving, with a control device comprising at least one processor, the connection data gathered by the connection sensor assembly;
determining, with the control device, a connection status of the connector based on the connection data; and
performing, with the control device, at least one action based on the connection status.
