Solutions For Worker Safety And Situational Awareness
The Situation
Industrial site officials are faced with ongoing worker safety challenges.
- Do you know where field operators are at all times?
- Can you quickly send help in an emergency situation?
- Can you account for all operators during an emergency?
- Can operators request assistance regardless of their location, indoors or out?
- What about ‘man-down’ alerting?
Further complicating the issue are outside contractors and visitors.
The Challenge
Given this complex environment, the industrial site challenge is to provide situation awareness of operators.
The Solution
Through the use of vTrack™’s real-time GPS tracking technology, facility personnel and vehicles can be tracked with up to a 1 second rate. This system provides real-time geo-spatial data (location, heading and speed) for all vehicles and personnel and authorized visitors, which can be integrated with 3rd party Command and Control Systems.
- vTrack™ allows for the viewing of all personnel/vehicle activity.
- vTrack™ allows the end-user to setup Geo-Fences for real time alerting/notification.
