Benefits
Worker productivity tracking
Our integrated identification and location tracking solutions have been deployed across large construction and mining facilities, managing thousands of devices across hundreds of miles. Our software provides important information such as operational events and group behaviour so that businesses can manage their staff efficiently.
Our system is the ideal tool to help keep your workforce safe, productive and your production assets always located. Our technology combines GPS location and BLE for indoor use, the robustness of LoRa and the ubiquity of cellular networks.
Manage worker efficiency
The challenges
Large scale industrial operations typically employ a large number of workers who work in shift patterns which can be difficult to manage. Worker efficiency is typically monitored by managers who will often supervise a number of people.
The solution
Our solution allows you to integrate your human resources database, helping to keep credentials, roles and responsibilities streamlined. By using geofences our software automatically records when each worker enters and leaves defined production zones. Daily or weekly reports can be generated which will display how much time each employee has spent within the defined zones.
Improve coordination between large teams
The challenge
Oil & gas facilities regularly go through shutdowns, turnarounds and outages (STOs) at the cost of suspending production. The tools and labour required to execute these maintenance events are extremely expensive and revenue is lost through shutting down elements of production which means that STOs often have strict deadlines.
STO providers would typically bring in a large number of workers to perform various tasks which often take place in hazardous areas. They are under pressure to meet deadlines while keeping their employees safe.
The solution
The RFiD Discovery system helps you to stay on top of STO progress. With the ability to label teams in different colours you can see their real-time and previous movements around the site. In addition, easily view the accumulated hours spent on site and implement access control using geofences to ensure that workers only stay within their designated work zones.
Manage large team handovers efficiently
The challenge
Shift changes of large numbers of workers are often long and chaotic as a significant amount of time can be spent gathering and recording field status data. Relying on workers to swipe their badge to clock in, wastes valuable production time and can be prone to error.
The solution
Our solution can automatically clock in workers upon arrival and notify the admin team when someone fails to show up for their scheduled work shift. The system can use tracking tags or smartphones - offering seamless functionality.
Monitor maintenance and security tasks
The challenge
Big operations require regular visits to maintain machines and ensure safety. When relying on manual methods, it's often difficult to establish whether rounds have been completed, or if they are carried out in compliance with regulations. This could lead to issues of quality, accuracy, objectivity and consistency.
The solution
Our automated worker tracking solution allows you to design routes for maintenance staff and security personnel using geographical locations. It automatically logs their presence with a timestamp, helping to prevent potential fraudulent activity and ensuring reliable maintenance logs are created for compliance.

LoRa tracker
Workers wear a LoRa tracking tag that enables geolocation and remote monitoring over several kilometers - either in open pits, underground mines or indoor facilities. Each tag device leverages multiple GNSS constellations (GPS/Galileo/Glonass/BeiDou) and our embedded algorithms to improve standard accuracy and battery lifespan.

Enhanced satellite positioning
Tags send their position and status to LoRa-compatible stations, which provide enhanced satellite positioning over a private LoRa network, or via a public cellular network.

Real-time location information
Information is then sent to a central RFiD Discovery database which provides real-time location updates including notifications about when employees are present in production zones. This can be integrated with existing operations systems to provide analytic data and real-time information about operational events.
