Personnel & Asset Tracking

In one sentence

Knows who is on site and roughly where, so a muster after an alarm takes minutes instead of a headcount by radio.

The problem

Emergency muster depends on a paper sign-in sheet and radio roll-call. Accounting for everyone takes far longer than the procedure assumes, and the time is spent exactly when it is least available.

How it works

Bluetooth or ultra-wideband tags on badges and mobile equipment are read by gateways at access points and in process areas, giving zone-level presence rather than continuous precise tracking. Zone-level resolution is a deliberate choice: it is what emergency response needs and it limits the surveillance capability of the system.

Data required

  • Tag hardware for personnel badges and mobile assets
  • Gateway coverage at access points and in key process areas
  • Site zone model and muster point definitions
  • Personnel and contractor register with access rules

What you get

  • Live on-site headcount by zone and muster status board
  • Automatic muster reconciliation after an alarm
  • Mobile asset location and utilisation history

What it cannot do

Zone-level tracking tells you someone is in an area, not their exact position, and it depends on the tag being worn. This is also a system with real privacy implications and it must be introduced with a written policy on retention and permitted use, agreed with the workforce, or it will be defeated in practice regardless of what the technology can do.

Every capability page states a real limitation. If a vendor cannot tell you where their product stops, you are not being told the truth about where it starts.
