Features
TAG LINKING. Often referred to as “Parent and Child” linking.
-
Static Tag Linking- The movement of Assets or people with relationship to each other are defined in Static Parent and Child linking rules.
- Dynamic Tag Linking-Tags are automatically grouped together and tracked as a group where conditions defined in Static Parent and Child linking rules apply.
These rules have wide application in security, Occupational Health and Safety, and all areas of asset management, for example;
-
Security. A lap top computer (child tag) may be allowed to exit a building only in the presence of a nominated person(s) (parent tag).
-
PatientTrac. An Alzheimer’s patient raises an alarm leaving a safe area when not accompanied by a nurse (parent).
-
MineTrac. Collisions and accidents between workers and equipment are reduced by detecting when Parent and Child tags are too close.
-
Assets, inventory and people (children) leaving a nominated point or exit are automatically assigned as being with the vehicle transporting them (parent) for selected tags and locations.
ALARM MONITORING
