Personnel Safety & Positioning
1. Overview
Personnel Safety & Positioning Solution is an integrated IoT-based system designed to ensure the real-time safety, visibility, and management of workers across construction sites, industrial parks, mining operations, tunnels, power stations, and other high-risk working environments.
By combining UWB, LoRaWAN, 4G Cat.1, NB-IoT, BLE, and GNSS with wearable devices such as smart watches, ID badges, wristbands, and positioning tags, the system enables accurate indoor/outdoor tracking, safety monitoring, emergency alerts, and operational management.
2. Key Challenges
The system solves these problems using IoT wearable technology and a cloud-based platform.
3. System Architecture
A. Wearable Devices
W200/W300 series smart watches · UWB positioning badges · BLE wristband / beacon tags · 4G/NB-IoT/LoRa trackers · Emergency SOS wearables
B. Communication Layer
UWB anchors for indoor positioning (10–30 cm accuracy) · LoRaWAN gateways for large-area low-power coverage · 4G Cat.1 / NB-IoT for cellular real-time positioning · BLE beacons for cost-effective zone monitoring
C. Cloud Platform
Real-time positioning map · Track history & playback · Electronic fences · High-risk zone access control · SOS & fall detection alarm · Worker behavior analysis · Attendance and patrol management · Data dashboard & reporting
D. Integration
API/SDK for third-party software · Enterprise IoT platform compatibility · Support for customized deployment (private cloud / on-premises)

Indoor (UWB: 10–30 cm accuracy) · Outdoor (GPS/BeiDou/LBS) · Multi-mode seamless switching
✔ SOS Emergency Alarm
Workers can press the SOS key to trigger platform pop-ups, SMS/push notifications, and automatic location sharing.
✔ Fall Detection / Man-Down
Smartwatch sensors identify falls or long-time inactivity and trigger alarms.
✔ High‑risk Zone Monitoring
When a worker enters a dangerous zone: instant alerts, automatic recording, and access restriction available.
✔ Health Monitoring
Heart rate · Body temperature · Blood pressure · Motion/pedometer
✔ Attendance & Patrol
Automatic check-in · Patrol route tracking · Shift behavior analysis
