Lone Worker Protection Challenges at Avery Dennison’s Champ-sur-Drac Site
Ending Nuisance Alarms
Avery Dennison’s teams were already equipped with LWDs (Lone Worker Alarm Devices) when they contacted SYSNAV. However, the old system had several issues. The devices did not allow for locating the worker in distress and had the drawback of generating nuisance alarms. Therefore, this system could not optimally address the safety challenges of lone workers.
Strengthening Lone Worker Safety Through Indoor and Outdoor Location of Workers in Distress
To have an effective protection system, Avery Dennison wanted to implement a device capable of locating a worker after an alarm was triggered. However, indoor geolocation was not supported by the old system and presented cost challenges due to the size of the site.
Indeed, the area to cover on the site is too large to consider deploying location solutions based on Bluetooth or UWB beacons. Furthermore, GPS signals are unavailable indoors. Avery Dennison’s site therefore had to turn to other types of technologies to meet its security needs, capable of providing both outdoor and indoor geolocation.
The Benefits of SYSNAV’s LWD Solution for Avery Dennison’s Site
SYSNAV’s LWD Solution : Ending Nuisance Alarms
Too many LWD systems available on the market present issues with nuisance alarms (false positives). To address this major challenge, for the protection of lone workers and their managerial oversight, SYSNAV has developed a reliable and precise solution for incident detection and alerts. Indeed, SYSNAV’s LWD is capable of automatically and accurately detecting incidents thanks to its sensors and data processing algorithms.
Furthermore, to best adapt to the needs and specificities of each activity, SYSNAV offers to customise the alert trigger criteria. This way, SYSNAV’s LWD can effectively ensure the safety of lone workers, and provide hassle-free use for both the wearer and the security teams receiving the alerts.
SYSNAV’s LWD Solution : Locating Workers in Distress Indoors/Outdoors and WITHOUT Heavy Infrastructure
To meet the need for locating a worker in distress once an alert is triggered, Avery Dennison chose SYSNAV’s LWD. Indeed, SYSNAV’s unique technology allows for indoor location of workers in distress without heavy infrastructure.
Indeed, SYSNAV’s LWD device allows for reconstructing a person’s path thanks to its inertial sensors. The device is therefore capable of providing a person’s position on a horizontal plane and on the correct floor when an alert is sent. This technology helps both to overcome GPS limitations/unavailability and to avoid the costly installation of beacons.
Thanks to the indoor/outdoor location of the employee in distress, SYSNAV’s LWD enables prompt intervention when an accident is detected. This helps limit potential damage from an incident such as a heart attack or a stroke.
Conclusion on SYSNAV’s LWD at Avery Dennison
Given the challenges of lone worker protection on industrial sites, SYSNAV’s solution appears to be the most effective and high-performing LWD to meet the needs of complex and large sites.
Thanks to our unique technology and our customisable solution, we can effectively address your safety projects.
