Special Configuration of AVANTE ZONER™-RELAYER™ Personnel & Asset Visibility System for Safety & Evacuation Management in Dangerous Working Environments

(View video on AVANTE Real-Time Personnel & Asset Visibility Solution)

For a manufacturing and working environments such as mines, chemical and even office envrionments with a wide-spread of buildings and infrastructure, a different configuration of the AVANTE PAVS-300 may be required to make the assets and personnel visibility system more effective.


The following is a summary of the functions of the AVANTE Personnel and Asset Visibility System (PAVS-300) that benefit the staff, visitors, and contractors in an extended complex with multiple buildings and grounds.

  • Integrated temporary Registration and Badge issuing for visitors, contractors or other temporary personnel.
    • All visitors, contractors, temporary personnel must use the same ID card for the system to be effective under all circumstance.
    • AVANTE PAVS includes a web-based visitor registration system that allows web and onsite registration and issuing of ID cards.
    • Picture of the visitors may be captured and imprinted on the card for additional security.
  • The system automatically acknowledges the entrance and exit of the individual personnel into the building with a personalized greeting.
    • The system automatically records the entrance/exit record with time-stamp for building, floor, and campus-wide monitoring stations.
    • The system automatically displays the photographic images of the staff and other personnel for positive confirmation for the security officials monitoring the operation.
    • If there is a video monitoring system in place, the system can also automatically “clip” the video record in accordance to the time-stamp as part of the audit record.
    • The RFID badge also automatically reports its battery condition and records are kept as part of the safety check.
  • RFID RELAYER™ devices cover every gates, entrances/exit, including stairs, escalators and elevators on every floor and relevant infrastructures to report the locations of the personnel in real-time.
    • Data on each person's location along with the time-stamps are communicated to the central monitoring station via protected wired network (typically via Ethernet line).
    • The history of the personnel’s movement serves as additional confirmation of the real-time location of the personnel.
    • Optional DVR and video camera may also be used for additional information.
  • In case of emergency, the RFID ZONER™ badges and RELAYER™ network of reader-monitors will be triggered on command to enter into real-time locating operational mode with ZONER™ badges beaconing at high power signal level.  
  • In special working environments such as chemicals plants, mines, construction, tunnels and other situations where personnel safety trumps all other considerations, all of the ZONER™ badges may be configured to beacon at high power to allow real-time monitoring at all times when the personnel enter such designated work areas.

 

AVANTE RFID ZONER™-RELAYER™ “dynamic zoning” real-time locating applications for Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS):
  • Combination of secure proximity RFID badge for access control and long-range nodal and real-time locating capability of ZONER™ badge for personnel visibility.
    • Dramatically enhances current widely used access control systems.
    • Guards will be presented with biometric pictures and data of personnel while gaining access to the facility for positive confirmation.
    • Provides real-time visibility of personnel in case of emergency.
    • Provides real-time visibility of personnel in sensitive zones.
    • Couples with sensors to provide real-time video and other alerts on access made by anyone without a proper personnel badge.
  • Tagging and real-time location and visibility of hazardous materials storage and processing.
  • Provide additional capability of low cost RFID sensors (motion and heat) and monitoring network around the perimeter to monitor potential intrusions without real-time alerts to video monitoring and clippings of DVR for additional scrutiny.
