Zoning and safety through RTLS in warehouses and manufacturing

Zoning for industrial safety using RTLS tracking systems

Protecting operators and vehicles in operational areas with smart zoning

In warehouses and industrial settings, the simultaneous presence of people, forklifts, and machinery can create hazardous situations.

Thanks to RTLS-based zoning solutions, it is possible to monitor the real-time location of operators and vehicles, set specific safety rules for each area, and prevent accidents and collisions.

The integration between PROXIMITY, Ubiquicom’s collision avoidance solution, and LOCATOR, the high-precision location platform, increases safety and improves control over operational activities.

Accident prevention with PROXIMITY and LOCATOR

The solution for operational area safety combines:

PROXIMITY radars installed on vehicles (such as forklifts, pallet jacks, skid steer loaders, etc.)

PROXIMITY radars or anchors may be installed in high-risk and intervention areas to define the zones to be monitored.

Personal tags associated with operators, in compliance with worker privacy
Locator, the monitoring and analysis platform.

The PROXIMITY anti-collision system:

detects the presence of operators near vehicles
generates immediate alarms in case of dangerous approach
contributes to accident prevention
can slow down vehicles in case of danger.

At the same time, Locator allows for the monitoring and analysis of events and risk levels, including reports of near misses, identifying high-risk areas, and providing data-driven tools to improve prevention strategies.

LOCATOR: RTLS platform for worker safety

LOCATOR is Ubiquicom’s software platform designed to track and monitor people, vehicles, and assets in real time in industrial and logistics environments.

Functionalities and dashboards:

By integrating high-precision indoor positioning technologies and IoT devices, the platform enables users to:

improve operational safety
prevent hazardous situations
monitor activities in real time
analyze data to optimize processes.

Thanks to immediate visibility into operations, safety managers can quickly identify potentially dangerous situations and take prompt action.

Smart zoning for the management of high-risk areas

The zoning feature allows you to define and manage operational zones with specific safety rules, reducing the risk of interaction between people and machines.

With LOCATOR, you can:

configure safety zones and areas with controlled access
monitor the presence of operators and vehicles in different areas
trigger automatic alarms in case of unauthorized access
report anomalies or risky situations.

This approach allows you to tailor safety policies to the characteristics of each operational area, improving accident prevention.

The benefits of RTLS-based zoning

The implementation of a tracking system for managing operational areas allows you to:

reduce the risk of accidents involving operators and forklifts
improve real-time visibility of operations
enhance control over sensitive areas
support the activities of HSE managers
adopt data-driven safety policies.

FUNCTIONATIES

INDOOR/OUTDOOR MAP VISUALIZATION

Real-time tracking of people engaged in high-risk activities to manage emergencies in a targeted way

MAP AND AREA MANAGEMENT

It is possible to define logical zones (create, delete, and modify them) without any changes to the infrastructure.

ALARM, EVENT, AND NOTIFICATION MANAGEMENT

Tools are available to define events and alarms and receive the corresponding notifications.

ANALYTICS AND REPORTS

Display of heat maps and spaghetti charts. Historical reports on alarms and events can be generated and sent automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

Why is zoning essential for safety?

The zoning feature is essential for safety in industrial and logistics environments because it allows for the definition of virtual boundaries and operational rules based on the location of people, vehicles, and assets. In this way, the system can prevent hazardous situations before they turn into accidents.

Smart zoning with location tracking and anti-collision

The integration of UBIQUICOM LOCATOR and PROXIMITY enables smart zoning capabilities, combining real-time location tracking and anti-collision features in high-risk areas.
