Industrial IoT Use Case

Client Problem/Context: Locate people, work orders and assets in manufacturing or ATEX explosive environments.

Target: Increase security and efficiency, improve knowledge on movements and provide live alerts and decision support.

SPECIFIC Constraints
  • Locate people, employees, service providers or visitors in real time to ensure their evacuation or to provide assistance as quickly as possible in the event of an incident.
  • Control in real time the activities (work, maintenance, installation) on the production sites.
  • Avoid risks related to co-activity.
  • Reduce accidents on large sites where pedestrians, cyclists and motor traffic overlap.
  • Guarantee the readiness and proper functioning of mandatory safety equipment at all times and in all places, while optimizing their maintenance costs.
  • Easily and quickly find machine parts during major shutdowns and optimize restarting.
  • Save heavily on installation costs.
  • Controlling the interferences related to very metallic environments.

Orisun's analysis:

Indoor geolocation technologies are now mature. While there are various types, all require an active device to be placed on the person or the asset being tracked. They vary in spatial accuracy and frequency of geolocation provided, from a few centimeters several times a second to a few tens of meters once a day. This diversity allows to cover many different use cases at different price ranges.

The cost of this precision technology may vary depending on the installation, power consumption of the tracking devices, maintenance costs, etc.

To meet the challenges of tracking contractors, it is important to have tags that can be reused at will and that are easy to reload.

To meet the challenges of tracking security equipment, low-cost tags with very low energy consumption and minimal maintenance are needed.

The use of digital twins for devices, types of personnel, vehicles, zones and processes, allows the implementation of dynamic and fine-grained management, geofencing and alerting rules, linked to the interactions of various types of entities.

Solution proposed by Orisun :

  • Implementing a ATEX1 compliant BLE meshed network for indoor geolocation that supports location over several floors and requires not set up work on the factory.
  • Équipement des personnes et des dispositifs avec un tag léger et de format réduit, offrant une longue autonomie et rechargeable facilement par induction.
  • GPS pour le tracking des véhicules.
  • Modeling of the buildings of the whole site on several floors.
  • Geofencing rules linked to the types of personnel, their roles or activities, the types of equipment tracked and the nature of the area

L’utilisation de l’IoT pour la SANTÉ CONNECTÉE

Target:

Simplify Covid and non-Covid itinerary management with a hospital-internal geofencing application.

Specific constraints:

  • Ensure the system can be mass deployed in just a few days without disturbing the day to day activity.
  • Oversee the population density within the various spaces of the hospital.
  • Anonymize the data collected in compliance with health data processing.
  • Provide instant information to the monitored individuals.
  • Optimize Covid / non Covid zoning by analyzing staff, patient and user pathways.
  • To be able to easily disinfect the geolocation equipment.
Orisun's analysis: Equipe the healthcare worker, visitors and patients with a device that will provide a sound feedback to inform them they are in an unauthorized area. The device will support geolocation for risk analysis but does not require specific individuals monitoring. They will be divided by population roles and access credentials. Inorder to ensure people privacy, the devices will be non-nominative. They can be taken on arrival and dropped off on leaving the site. The devices will be disinfected and rechargeable every day or several times a day. The location infrastructure must be completely wireless and transmits signals regardless of the complexity of the buildings, the geofencing and itinerary analysis will provide more information than can be extracted from access control logs.
Solution proposed by Orisun :
  • Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) indoor geolocation meshed network.
  • BLE geolocation active tags that are rechargeable by induction, are IP68 certified, have a credit card format.
  • A buzzer on the tag can go off when the wearer enters a restricted area.
  • Model the hospital spaces or use the BIM and define zones associated with roles and acces rights.
  • Fast and non disruptive deployement in less than a week
  • Build a path map for each category of personnels, patients or visitors
  • Safe and Réliable HDS health care data, ISO27001 Hosting in a datacenter located within the GDPR zone.
