Large Manufacturer B
Smart factory worksite
Beacon-based location tracking and danger-zone alert systems were applied to manufacturing lines with high caught-in and collision accident risk.
OVERVIEW
Worksite overview
Manufacturer B wanted to reduce caught-in and collision accident risk in a smart factory running many automated machines, while also objectively measuring worker fatigue accumulation. A 3-month PoC using SenseZero's smart watches, fixed beacons, and geofences achieved a 45% reduction in caught-in hazard alerts and a 60% reduction in safety inspection time.

CHALLENGES
Problems to solve
- 01Worker access control around automated equipment such as presses and robot arms was inconsistent
- 02Fatigue accumulation among repetitive and high-speed line workers could not be measured objectively
- 03Guard inspection and training history was scattered across paper records, slowing supervisor response
- 04Post-accident root-cause analysis depended on worker testimony
SOLUTION
Solutions deployed by SenseZero
- S.018 zones around presses and robots set as geofence danger zones — unauthorised access triggers immediate blocking alerts
- S.02Cumulative heart-rate and activity monitoring via watch, with rest-recommendation alerts for fatigued workers
- S.03Automatic recording of guard inspection and training completion history, bulk-downloadable during supervisor inspections
- S.04When an accident occurs, worker location, heart rate, and work history at that moment are replayed in 5-second increments
