Remotely monitor lone workers who operate at higher risk

In industries where lone workers are commonplace, such as construction, mining, oil & gas and logistics, the risks they face when working in isolation can be substantial, so ensuring their safety is of paramount importance. RFiD Discovery's TrackSphere platform for lone worker tracking combines the power of multiple tracking technologies including GPS, LoRa and BLE. By providing real-time location of lone workers and continuous monitoring with instant alerts in emergency situations, it mitigates any potential risks.

Increased safety

In case of an emergency it is often difficult for those working in isolation and in remote locations to get help in emergencies. Our tags are equipped with an SOS button so help can be requested in case of an incident. Real-time tracking makes it easy to find the exact location of incidents to enable a timely response. In addition, sensors within the tags (e.g. 3-Axis Accelerometer) detect movement, high G-force events and more. This means an alarm can be raised automatically in case of a 'worker down' scenario or a defined period of inactivity, which may indicate that someone is unconscious or unable to move. The geofencing feature allows virtual boundaries to be created, so that when a person enters or leaves the defined area or risk zones, alerts or alarms can be triggered. 

Improved accountability

RFiD Discovery’s lone worker tracking solution is more than just a safety measure; it's an investment in the wellbeing and productivity of your workforce. By leveraging GPS, LoRa and Bluetooth technologies, this solution not only enhances safety but also promotes accountability and efficient resource management. The software allows you to gain valuable insights into your workers' activities and locations. This fosters a sense of responsibility, encouraging staff and contractors to remain diligent and adhere to safety protocols.

Efficient resource management

Lone worker tracking allows for better resource allocation. It optimises task assignments, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing unnecessary delays. This streamlines operations and minimises downtime, saving both time and money. In addition, managers can make sure contractors and auxiliary staff completed allocated tasks according to plan and schedule.

Compliance and reporting

It is often challenging for organisations to keep track of worker movements for compliance reporting to meet regulations and internal safety standards. TrackSphere simplifies this with detailed reporting features. Our solution provides comprehensive data that can be used for audits and compliance checks, ensuring your organisation remains in adherence to all necessary industry standards and internal safety protocols.

The solution is highly customisable and can be seamlessly integrated into your existing systems, making it a powerful tool for improving safety and efficiency. Compliance with safety regulations is simplified with the detailed reporting provided through the TrackSphere platform.

How does lone worker tracking work? 

Worker tracking tag

Worker tags

Each worker is provided with a tracking tag which can be worn on a lanyard, put in a pocket or attached to clothing. Depending on whether outdoor or indoor tracking is required, either GPS or BLE technology is used to track locations. Tags can include an emergency button and an accelerometer to detect worker down scenarios or inactivity.

Private LoRa wireless stations 

For indoor tracking, BLE beacons are placed in strategic locations like entrances, exits, staircases and muster points, so that they can detect the presence of tags within their range. Outdoor tags leverage multiple GNSS constellations including GPS, Gallileo, Glonass and BeiDou. The tracking tags send their position and status to LoRa compatible stations or via a public cellular/mobile phone network to the central TrackSphere™ database.

Analytics

TrackSphere platform

The TrackSphere™ platform turns the location information received from the tracking tags into analytic data and operational events. In case of emergencies, it raises alarms via email, phone call, SMS, sounders or other configurable methods.
