The graphical interface, can be shown in a browser. Each icon (left) symbolizes an employee with a Bluetooth unit. If the icon is green there is no trouble. If it is red the person has activated a personal alarm. The Icons with caps are guardsmen.

 

Zones Created by Beacons

Each of the small, discretely designed ZONITH Bluetooth Positioning Beacons (shown right) create a detection zone. The Beacons are connected to the ZONITH Alarm Control System software through a standart LAN network.  

People Detected by Beacons

People are detected by the ZONITH Bluetooth Positioning Beacons by wearing any kind of Bluetooth unit (including radios, mobile phones, head sets and tags). Every Bluetooth unit has its own unique identity, and it is easy to register it in the system.

Asset Tracking

Keep track of your equipment at any time. Simply attach a small bluetooth tag to whatever you want to track, and you can find whenever you need it.

More Beacons - Greater Precision

The more ZONITH Bluetooth Positioning Beacons you use the greater the precision of the system. As seen in the pictures to the right, you can cover a whole floor with two beacons if all you need is an indication of in which end people are (top), and you can use more beacons if you need a more precise picture (bottom).

A Powerful Alarm Combination

The ZONITH Indoor Positioning Module is integrated in Zonith’s automatic alarm dispatch solution ZONITH Alarm Control System. While the Zonith Indoor Positioning Module continuously monitors the position of people (with Bluetooth units) the ZONITH Alarm Control System automatically ensures a quick reaction in case a problem arises.

ANY Bluetooth unit can be used to locate personnel. Shown here is a Bluetooth tag, head set, mobile phone and TETRA radio.

Examples of Use

 

When Lone workers lose consciousness and do not respond inside a pre-set time interval the Indoor Positioning Module can automatically notify the rescue team of the exact position of the endangered employee.

 

Security Personnel can be located quickly if attacked and/or calling for back-up. Instead of having to conveying the position by voice, personnel can simply press a button and colleagues will kvow the exact position.

 

Personnel with a high risk of getting attacked on the job can press their panic button. Information with the exact location of the attack will then be sent directly to the radio of the security guards.

 

A Safer Workplace
