Comprehensive, powerful navigation and industrial asset tracking system for improving safety and manufacturing efficiency.
Modern enterprises and industry facilities are constantly looking for new tools to enhance business efficiency and manufacturing processes resulting in reduced costs. Nowadays, all manufacturers, operating during the fourth industrial revolution need to accumulate more real-time data to identify and evaluate the output of each particular employee, set up the most appropriate workload, decrease production costs per unit, and reduce the number of work accidents. And so-called RTLS in manufacturing, like indoor navigation, is one of the most promising technologies for this.
Navigine offers a range of advanced solutions tailored for industrial environments. Navigine products serve the purpose of improving industrial workplace safety and increasing labor efficiency.
Navigine leverages AI-driven technologies and tools to deliver the best solutions for manufacturing and other industries.
-
Ensure work efficiency
By employing RTLS technologies, enterprises can improve employee efficiency, digitalize various processes, create new instruments for workflow productivity analytics, and get a full workday picture.
-
Always stay in the loop
Understanding how employees and service personnel fulfill their duties in a factory can help enterprises optimize working resources and resolve issues by monitoring staff and outstaff workflow
-
Get hold of valuables
Many valuable vehicles and equipment that can be lost or stolen in a factory. With RTLS indoor tracking, staff can easily monitor the location of all valuables and also get relevant information, such as equipment number and purchase date.
-
Solve safety-related issues
By employing asset tracking technologies, enterprises can create situation awareness, detect security-related challenges, and create special heat maps of indoor movement. RTLS-powered systems can contribute to mitigating risks to public safety and health
