Keep every worker safe across a live network.

For TSOs, DSOs, generation and utilities. We design contractor and lone-worker safety, geofenced high-voltage exclusion, and asset- and tool-tracking programmes for substations, plants and field sites — engineered for harsh, regulated environments. Hardware-agnostic across UWB, BLE, active RFID and GPS.

The problems

What we keep seeing.

Lone workers are invisible

A technician working alone at a remote substation has no reliable way to raise an alarm — and no one knows their exact location if something goes wrong.

Live zones rely on procedure

Keeping people clear of energised equipment during an outage depends on a permit-to-work paper trail and trust, not a hard interlock.

Contractors come and go

During major outages hundreds of contractors flood a site. Knowing who is where, and who has left, is a clipboard exercise.

What TRACIO delivers

The use cases that consistently pay back.

Lone-worker safety & SOS

Man-down detection, duress alarms and precise location for workers across remote and field sites.

Geofenced HV exclusion

Alerts and interlocks that keep personnel clear of energised equipment during switching and outages.

Contractor & visitor control

Live on-site register, induction status and automatic exit reconciliation during outage peaks.

Asset & tool tracking

Locate test equipment, switching gear and high-value tools across substations and depots.

Mustering & evacuation

Verified headcount at the muster point in seconds for emergency response.

Outage workforce analytics

Where the crews are and how work is progressing across a distributed outage.

What we design and document to

IEC 62443 (OT security) · ISO 45001 (occupational health & safety) · ATEX 2014/34/EU and IECEx where applicable · lone-worker standards (e.g. BS 8484) · permit-to-work alignment.

Real-world use cases

Where the payback shows up.

Substation outage safety

Contractor and lone-worker tracking with geofenced safety zones across a multi-substation outage programme.

Lone-worker SOS

Man-down and duress alerting with precise location for field technicians at remote sites.

Tool & equipment control

Test gear and switching equipment tracked across depots and substations, cutting loss and search time.

During outages we put hundreds of contractors onto live substations. Geofenced HV exclusion and lone-worker SOS gave us 100% muster accountability and a verifiable record of who was where. It worked because TRACIO built it around our permit-to-work process and ISO 45001 safety case, not as a bolt-on.
