Location-Aware Application
Purelink, Enabling Location-Aware Applications
Purelink provides real-time location hardware and software that locate and
track people, equipment or products with high-accuracy, enabling
location-aware applications in safety, security and wireless commerce.
Purelink’s badges and tags enable the location of every worker, visitor,
contractor and asset, every second, within 1 to 3 meters in accuracy.
This fine-grained resolution of location data is used to build logical
rules within the software suite, creating location-aware business processes.
To fully understand the benefits of Purelink Location-Aware Application
products, consider a refinery where contractors need to access certain
areas of the plant to perform a scheduled maintenance. Presently, keeping
track of when authorized workers have access to restricted areas, their
numbers and when they leave is all done on paper. Since the paper work has
to go through multiple levels, in time the information gets lost and the
precision of the information degrades. The preciseness of the information
is important for accounting and safety and security procedures and is crucial
for maintaining operations and preserving profit margins.
Today, Purelink Location-Aware Applications automate these processes entirely.
The exact time at which workers arrive at the refinery, and their identities,
are recorded; safety and security teams are immediately notified and given
each contractor’s identity and location inside the plant, with an accuracy
within 1 to 3 meters, with updates every second. The exact time the
contractors took to execute the scheduled maintenance job is therefore
precisely measured. This information enables real-time accounting that
can cut significant operational costs.
Another benefit generated by Purelink Location-Aware Applications is
in enhancing safety and security measures. With each worker’s location
information, BluefairyTM
software suite can automatically generate mustering reports over the entire
facility. The last-known locations of every worker can be obtained. Our
nanoEdgeTM Personnel
Location Badge with call-button allows workers to request assistance
when they are in danger.
By simply defining business and logical rules on the location data or workers and
equipment, Purelink’s BluefairyTM
software suite enables users to implement a large variety of business
applications with a single product and deploy it over an entire enterprise.
That is the value of the Purelink Location System.
