Discover the power of Guadian through some of our reference cases
MAINTENANCE WORKER
A Maintenance Worker has to repair equipment at a remote location on site. He uses the Guardian map with the site blueprint on his smartphone to navigate the facility and to find the exact location of the equipment. It is raining and the worker slips and has a bad fall. Guardian senses that he is now horizontal and not moving. It starts emitting a loud sound and alerts the control center who sees the location of where the alert was generated on their site map. The paramedics team is sent over and they quickly locate the worker thanks to the accurate location embedded in the alert. Locally, the rescue team can trigger the sound alert again on the device.
SECURITY GUARD
A Security Guard is doing his security rounds at night. The Guardian enabled smartwatch acts as a badge to give him access to the various areas. Guardian can leverage BLE beacons to ensure positioning of the guard indoors, if GPS is lost. As he investigates the sound of a suspected break in, the guard is threatened by the people he finds. He discretely presses a button on his smartwatch. The button press triggers Guardian to send a silent alert in the dispatch center, and it opens an audio channel such that the dispatcher can hear what is going on while she alerts the police. The exact location and address can be seamlessly transmitted to the intervening forces. The heart rate of the guard is monitored remotely to assess his status. After the incident the audio fragment which was recorded serves as supporting evidence.
FIREFIGHTERS
Firefighters are battling a forest fire. Taking into account the location of the firefighter, the movements, the known hazardous materials in the building, Guardian can watch out for signs of fatigue or lengthy exposures to high temperatures (by connecting to a body worn temperature sensor). The incident commander is thus well equipped to monitor the working condition of the team. Through the Guardian rules management tools, the commander can trigger alerts when break times are needed. As location and temperature data are recorded by Guardian, the long term health impact on the team members can be monitored and sufficient down-time can be scheduled to recuperate from the heat absorption.
HOSPITAL PERSONNEL
Hospital Personnel carry Guardian for personal safety. Guardian leverages BLE beacons to ensure indoor positioning, if GPS is lost. When staff triggers an alert button, the notification reaches the central dispatch system and help can be provided. As the staff members roam the corridors, Guardian takes note of any BLE beacon attached to assets in the hospital (equipment, wheel chairs,…), fully in line with privacy concerns. Combining these observations coming from all roaming Guardians, an asset location overview is continuously calculated by the Guardian intelligence server. This enables staff to quickly find valuable items by querying Guardian without losing precious time.
