Use Cases Personnel Tracking & Monitoring

Personnel Tracking & Monitoring

Personnel Tracking and monitoring tracks the activities and locations of employees within a facility or operational area. It is commonly used to monitor attendance, control access to restricted areas, track occupancy and movements between different areas, and guarantee workplace security. Wearables can be used to track employees' physical conditions such as heartbeats and temperature. These systems are usually made up of Beacons embedded in an access card or device and locators that detects Beacons and connects them to the cloud, such as gateway hubs with omni-directional antennae or gateway radars.
