Creating Safer Industrial FacilitiesEmerson’s Location Awareness enables industrial companies to keep personnel safe  through the digital transformation of safety practices and systems. 

Personnel Safety with Location Awareness

How Location Awareness Works

• Wearable tags actively send signals to fixed Location Anchors for relevant-time updates, enabling location detection within 10 meters

• Location Anchors utilize WirelessHART to communicate to Wireless Gateways mounted throughout the facility

• Data is provided in an intuitive user interface in the Plantweb™ Insight Location application for a more comprehensive view of your facility

Keeping people safe on the job is a top priority in every industrial facility; however, systems have traditionally been fragmented and full infrastructures were too costly. Leveraging WirelessHART® technology, Emerson’s Location Awareness is a robust digital safety monitoring solution that streamlines and revolutionizes safety practices for industrial facilities. 

USE CASE EXAMPLES

• Monitor your safety muster points and automatically know if personnel have checked in. Receive alerts and location status of personnel who have not arrived at a muster point.

• Designate hazardous zones or work areas that require specific training or PPE with geofencing technology. Receive alerts in the event these zones have been crossed.

• Safety buttons integrated on the wearable tags allow personnel to send an alert if emergency response help is needed.

Location Awareness monitoring solutions can be implemented in your facility with lower CAPEX costs compared to other existing location technologies.
