RTLS is often praised for streamlining operations – and often just that. However, at DynaWo, we design our systems with not just the assets, but the people who enable the day-to-day operations in mind. We believe a truly people-centric RTLS can play critical roles such as:
Environmental Monitoring – RTLS alone isn’t a full HVAC or building-control system, but it can enable wireless IoT radios (e.g., BLE) to connect to dedicated environmental sensors. This can deliver real-time data with location context, alerting teams on the ground of early risk factors before they snowball into dangerous situations:
- Manufacturing & Industrial – Environmental detectors can alert early signs of fire hazards or chemical leaks, trigger evacuation protocols and guide responder teams to the exact location.
- Healthcare – Tags on medical equipment and storage areas make it easy to monitor condition changes before they threaten vaccines, blood supplies, or sensitive lab samples.
- Retail – BLE shelf sensors monitor storage conditions so staff can act before temperature or humidity shifts lead to spoiled products and health hazards.
Personnel Safety & Incident Response – RTLS combines continuous location tracking with event-based alerts, and geofencing rules to keep people in high-risk environments safe:
- Geofencing & Lone Worker Safety – RTLS systems can trigger instant alerts when someone enters a restricted or dangerous area, or have unusual periods of inactivity – and send precise location details to emergency response teams.
- Mining & Tunnels – Systems are designed to track the real-time locations of workers, along with periodic check-ins, ensuring they stay within designated safe zones underground, and notify responders in the case of emergencies.
- Panic Buttons & Interactive Tags – RTLS tags can be equipped with buttons, buzzers, lights, or e-paper displays to enable two-way safety interactions – such as panic button alerts for workplace violence or on-site injuries, system-wide broadcasts with light or sound, and periodic safety checks where staff confirm with a button press.
Compliance Logging & Asset Safety – RTLS automates documentation and verification of compliance requirements, eliminating manual recordkeeping errors.
- Seamless Check-In – Tags can be mounted on helmets, worn as wristbands, or attached to lanyards to suit different environments and safety requirements.
- Equipment Movement Logging – Tags can record the location of moving assets such as vehicles, forklifts, AGVs, cranes, or hazardous materials periodically, to verify equipment maintenance, compliance, and ensure they are not in prohibited or dangerous areas.
When RTLS is built to protect people as much as processes, it becomes more than a tool for efficiency, but part of the foundation for a safer, stronger, and more resilient workplace.
