Real-Time Emergency Evacuation Tracking in Hazardous Industrial Environments
Real-Time Emergency Evacuation Tracking in Hazardous Industrial Environments
Overview
Industry: Chemical Manufacturing
Region: Taiwan
Use Case: Emergency Evacuation Tracking
Technology Used: Ultra-Wideband (UWB)
Deployed Devices: Smart Badges + UWB Gateways
Tracked Personnel: 20,000 – 30,000 employees
Site Conditions: Hazardous & restricted industrial zones
The Challenge
In large industrial complexes with high-risk zones, rapid and safe evacuation is life-critical. One of Taiwan’s top chemical manufacturers struggled with:
- No real-time visibility of personnel during drills or emergencies
- Blind spots in hazardous areas
- Delayed response in locating missing or trapped workers
- Manual tracking procedures are slowing down evacuations
“During emergency drills, we couldn’t account for everyone quickly—especially in blind zones. That delay could be fatal in a real event.”
The Solution:
Browan’s UWB-Based High-Precision Tracking System
To address these safety gaps, Browan deployed its High-Precision Tracking Solution, tailored for real-time emergency evacuation monitoring.
🧩 Components:
- Smart Badges are issued to all on-site personnel
- Indoor/Outdoor UWB Gateways installed at evacuation routes, assembly zones, and hazard perimeters
- Geofencing logic and automated alerts are integrated into the management platform
- Instant personnel location tracking to identify stragglers, misroutes, or missing individuals
