iTAG X20 Worker Location Tag
The iTAG X20 is a worker location tag from the iTAG X-Range of products. Utilising Extronics hybrid location technology the iTAG X20 is ideal for customers looking to deploy a simply and cost effective Wi-Fi based worker location tracking solutions.
The iTAG X20 worker location tag is designed for large processing units where worker safety, productivity management, security and emergency response are critical. For sites with established Wi-Fi networks the iTAG X20 provides an ideal solution for worker location tracking during turnarounds. With additional sub-contracted personnel onsite, worker location tracking is key to ensure safety and efficiency are kept to a high standard. The inclusion of BLE makes this even easier by offering a tag that can work alongside any BLE gateway or anchor to provide a low cost RTLS solution for areas without dense Wi-Fi. In addition, social distancing and man down features make this tag a perfect solution for any process facility.
- Accurately locate your workers in hazardous and non-hazardous areas, anytime, anywhere
- Leverage hybrid technology, Wi-Fi, LF and BLE for accurate indoor and outdoor tracking
- Each tag is fitted with an emergency call button to increase worker safety in the event of an emergency
- Fully certified for use in ATEX and IECEx hazardous areas.
As part of the iTAG X-Range, the iTAG X20 worker location tag is a rugged hazardous area location tag designed to operate in the most challenging environments.
Features and Benefits
Unidirectional and Bidirectional Options
The iTAG X-Range offers both unidirectional and bidirectional options as part of the emergency call button response process. Bidirectional options available on the iTAG X20 and iTAG X30 models allow control room operators to send a visual and vibration acknowledgement to the person wearing the tag.
Man-Down Function
The iTAG X-Range of worker location tags has worker safety at its core. Workers in the process industries are often subject to hazards above and beyond their counterparts in other industries. It is essential that any RTLS solution for these environments has been designed with this firmly in mind.
A built in accelerometer detects if a person has fallen. In the event a person is unconscious and unable to press the emergency call button after a fall, an automatic emergency response event is sent to MobileView to inform first responders of the location.
If a false alarm occurs, users have five seconds to deactivate the event alert by simply double tapping the tag.
BLE Location Tracking
Working alongside the iTAG X-Range, Extronics BLE Anchor is a highly flexibly solution for location tracking. The compact size means the anchors can be easily installed with no need for cables. In addition, the signal strength threshold can be increased or decreased in the ELS to manage location accuracy. The tag receives the signal from the BLE Anchor and measures the RSSI value. It then packages the data along with the BLE identifier and relays over WiFi to the ELS.
Emergency Call Button
Workers can easily raise an alarm if they need help. The iTAG X-Range alerts the MobileView software with the worker’s location, meaning that assistance can be sent without delay to where it’s needed.
Social Distancing and Contact Tracing
Proximity alerts ensure all personnel maintain a safe working distance. Extronics Location Selector (ELS) software allows you to act quickly and minimise downtime. Run reports to see who an infected individual has been in contact with and for how long.
Long Battery Life
The iTAG X-Range has a rechargeable internal battery, designed to last throughout the duration of multiple shifts. Simply plug the USB charging cable into an Extronics approved USB power supply.
Optional Integrated Access Control/Photo ID
The front of the tag has been designed to display access control or photo ID cards. By combining your access control with your worker location system, you can reduce the amount of equipment that workers are required to carry on site.
Access control cards with built in DESFire EV1 technology are specifically designed to fit inside the tag maintaining the compact form. A pop out card design means cards can be printed on a standard ID card printer, such as Matica and Magicard printers.
The integrated card system reduces the need to re-issue tags to employees who have lost their tracking tag or left it at home. This means you can reduce the inventory you need to carry and minimises repeated administrative work.
The clear cover protects the ID card from the harsh industrial environments and preserves the integrity of the photo, helping them stay in use for longer periods.
