Right people, right zone, accounted for — with a duress button that knows where you are.
An energy or utilities operator needs to enforce permit-to-work zones at live substations and protect lone workers in remote or hazardous areas.
What the programme delivered.
Permit-to-work zone compliance, logged.
Lone-worker duress with position for response.
Contractor / visitor accountability on site.
Client identity withheld under confidentiality. Figures reflect outcomes from comparable RTLS/RFID deployments; your own numbers depend on use case, environment and execution.
The challenge
Unauthorised zone entry around live equipment is a safety event; lone workers in remote sites can’t be located quickly if something goes wrong.
Our approach
- Geofenced permit-to-work zones with access verification.
- Lone-worker tags with duress and man-down detection.
- Real-time location for emergency response.
- Contractor and visitor accountability on site.
- Integrate with EHS, access control and dispatch.
Technology & integration
Stack deployed: UWB / BLE zones, LoRaWAN for wide-area sites, ruggedised wearables.
Integration: EHS, access control, dispatch / SCADA.
