We are delighted to have worked alongside a leading international turbocharger manufacturer to help significantly enhance the safety of its employees performing lone worker operations.
We have done this through the implementation of our tailored digital two-way radio modular platform – TRBOCALL - comprising six elements from infrastructure, hardware and software right through to service wrap, features and accessories.
The new two-way system has been fully integrated across ten buildings including four high voltage substations and two production buildings.
Each element of the TRBOCALL system has been tailored to suit the business needs of the turbocharger manufacturer, whilst also optimising the coverage of the radios across all sites to ensure uninterrupted service at all times.
With safety of paramount importance across the company's extensive facilities - some of which include high hazard zones - to ensure the company's lone workers are protected at all times, Eemits integrated a series of software applications to the systems radio devices. These included a series of lone working solutions; panic button which can be activated by workers in need of assistance; a man down feature that triggers if a worker has a trip or fall and if the worker is unresponsive for a period of time an alarm will sound; and external GPS tracking and internal tracking allowing the company to monitor the location of its lone workers at all times.
Consisting of a series of i-beacons connecting to radio handsets via built in Bluetooth and GPS, internal and external geographical information is relayed onto a series of site maps which is available to access via the businesses central computers. For additional safety the company further opted to setup geofences, which means that if workers step into an unallocated area, an alarm will be raised within its central office.
