Buyer reality

I cantieri si muovono ogni settimana — il design di localizzazione deve muoversi con loro.

Transient RF

Scaffolding, steel and generators rewrite coverage overnight. Prefer relocatable anchors and a weekly RF health check over a one-time heat map.

Plant vs people

GNSS plant between sites and UWB/BLE mustering on the plot are different stacks. Force-fitting one radio creates either blind plant or fake headcount.

Principal contractor duty

CDM / equivalent duties care about induction-gated zones and fall/lone-worker response, not dashboards. Tie alerts to the permit and induction systems already on site.

How it works

Construction: il caso d’uso, e i numeri che muove.

UWB where the site needs centimetre zones; BLE for workforce badges; RFID for tools and cribs; GNSS for plant between sites. Chosen for the programme, never sold.

1 · Account

Plant, tools and people are visible across every site in the programme.

2 · Protect

Lone-worker, fall detection and zone access fire in real time.

3 · Muster

Verified headcount at the muster point in seconds, not minutes.

The friction

Cosa continuiamo a vedere.

Plant and tools vanish between sites

Hired excavators, generators and calibrated tools move across compounds faster than the spreadsheet. Utilisation looks fine on paper while one site is short and another is overstocked — and tool loss writes off margin every month.

Time-on-site is an argument, not a record

Gate logs, paper inductions and radio calls disagree about who was where. Principal contractors need auditable time-on-site and zone presence for CDM duty-of-care, not a dispute after an incident.

Lone workers and falls are found too late

Roofers, plant operators and night crews work alone on changing footprints. Without fall detection, duress and a location that responders trust, minutes stretch while someone searches the wrong block.

What TRACIO designs

I casi d’uso che ripagano in modo costante.

Plant & tool utilisation

See which machines and tools are on which site — cut idle hire and loss.

Workforce time-on-site

Inducted presence and zone time that stands up in a CDM audit.

Lone-worker & fall detection

Man-down, fall and duress with a location responders can use immediately.

Mustering & evacuation

Verified headcount at muster points in seconds across a live megaproject.

Site & zone access

Induction-gated geofences so the wrong trade is not in the wrong bay.

Heavy-equipment fleet view

GNSS and site RTLS together so plant movement between compounds is visible.

What we design and document to

Real-world use cases

Dove appare il payback.

Plant utilisation across sites

Know which assets are earning and which sit idle between plots — GNSS between sites, short-range on the plot.

Lone-worker & fall response

Man-down and duress with a location the marshal can trust when the site layout changed this morning.

Tool & equipment control

High-loss tools and hired plant tracked through induction gates so search time and hire overruns drop.

We had plant on three sites and no single view of utilisation, plus mustering that still ran on radio. TRACIO designed a vendor-neutral stack — RFID for tools, UWB for zones, GNSS for plant — around our CDM case. Muster dropped under a minute and tool loss stopped being a monthly write-off.

Use cases

Casi d’uso comuni — cosa continuiamo a vedere.

Multi-site plant utilisation

Problem: Hired plant sits idle on one compound while another site waits.

Tech mix: GNSS on plant, site geofences, hire/CMMS integration.

Outcome: Higher utilisation, fewer emergency hires, clearer off-hire decisions.

Tool crib & loss control

Problem: Calibrated and high-value tools walk between gangs and sites.

Tech mix: RFID cribs and portals, checkout rules, exception alerts.

Outcome: Lower loss, faster find-time, audit trail for calibration items.

Megaproject mustering

Problem: Manual roll-call fails when thousands are on a changing footprint.

Tech mix: UWB/BLE badges, muster geofences, live headcount board.

Outcome: Verified headcount in seconds; evidence for emergency drills.

Lone-worker & fall detection

Problem: Isolated work on roofs, plant and night shifts without reliable SOS location.

Tech mix: Wearables with fall/man-down, outdoor GNSS, indoor RTLS.

Outcome: Faster response, logged alerts, duty-of-care evidence.

Induction-gated zone access

Problem: Trades enter bays they are not inducted or permitted for.

Tech mix: Zone RTLS + induction/permit status from site systems.

Outcome: Soft or hard alerts, fewer near-misses, cleaner CDM records.

Workforce time-on-site

Problem: Gate data and supervisor counts disagree after an incident or claim.

Tech mix: Presence RTLS, access events, workforce system integration.

Outcome: Defensible time-on-site and zone history.

FAQ

Domande frequenti

Come tracciate mezzi e utensili su più cantieri?

UWB or BLE for high-accuracy zones on active sites, RFID for tools and store cribs, and GNSS for plant moving between sites. One programme design covers the mix — chosen for the site, never sold as a platform.

L’RTLS può supportare lone-worker e fall detection su un cantiere live?

Yes. Wearables with man-down / fall detection and duress, plus zone presence, mean a worker in trouble is located quickly — including alone on roofs, plant decks or remote compounds.

Come funziona il mustering su un megaprogetto?

Tags and geofenced muster points give verified headcount in seconds instead of radio roll-call. Induction status and zone access sit alongside so you know who was authorised to be there.

È allineato a CDM e ISO 45001?

We design programmes against CDM duty-of-care and ISO 45001 evidence needs: presence, alerts, response and contractor accountability that you can show an auditor.

Si integrerà con i nostri sistemi di cantiere?

Location and access events feed site access control, EHS, plant hire / CMMS and workforce systems so supervisors work in tools they already run.
