AeroScout announced an evacuation monitoring solution for improving worker safety and operational efficiency for organizations that might have emergency events.
Ideal for process manufacturing plants, metal and ore processing facilities, oil and gas refineries, mining operations and many other customers, the real-time locating system (RTLS) solution leverages standard Wi-Fi infrastructure to provide visibility into the location and status of all personnel, contractors and visitors during emergencies or drills.
The AeroScout evacuation monitoring solution provides a visual online dashboard that shows where each person is on a facility map during a drill or actual emergency. It also indicates when each individual has safely reached a mustering area or other safety zone. The solution also provides valuable information for post-event incident investigation and continuous process improvement.
In addition, it facilitates compliance with various government regulations, such as MSHA, ATEX 137 and DSEAR, which require hazardous sites to have detailed emergency plans, performance goals and documentation for regularly scheduled drills.
