NEUROTRACK / real-time geolocation

Indoor/outdoor geo-location system

Monitoring of personnel and equipment by area

OBJECTIVES

The NEUROTRACK system can be used in a wide range of environments (industrial, health center, residential) to locate personnel or equipments equipped with small communicating badges in defined size areas. This real-time localization (parameterizable periodicity) is made available to the user through a powerful and user-friendly supervision software.

This system uses the full capability of the radio frequency mesh network mastered by BEENETIC System.

APPLICATIONS

The system can be used in the following applications (examples) : Follow-up of patients in a center of care (cardiology, Alzheimer,...) Follow-up of equipment in a health center (medical bed, syringe pump,...) Pallet tracking in industrial environment (flow) Follow-up of personnel on risk sector (chemical, nuclear, bacteriological, explosives,...) Input/output management of equipment and personnel Supervision of exhibition badges

OPERATION

 1. Locate a moving object in real time with respect to fixed areas

• The areas covered are defined by the user according to the desired location accuracy. These are radiofrequency (RF)
• These RF zones are created by fixed beacons whose positions are known by the supervisor software
• The position of the tags and their number are determined by the user need

2. Mobile objects are RF badges

• There are physically linked to people (patients, nursing taff, people subject to industrial risk situations, etc.) or to the equipment (medical beds, pallets, parcels, etc.) that one wishes to follow
• It is possible to make measurements on the person or object tracked (T, HR, V, O2, P, digital buses,...)
• The badges are powered by a battery whose autonomy depends on the use cases (from a few hours to several years)

3. Location (and other) information is available on a supervisor

• A graphical interface makes it possible to follow in real time the displacements
• It is possible to store the data and trace the paths
• Data can be accessed locally (PC + client software) or on a server (website and dynamic page generation)
• The location is available indoor and outdoor

SOFTWARE SUPERVISION

The set of location data is processed by a multiplatform application developed by BEENETIC Systems, which can be implemented on PC, or ARM11 (Linux/java). For each tag of badge, the measurement histories are stored in the local database to allow complete traceability of the movements.

This application allows, in just a few minutes, to position the tags on a map of the supervised site and to fill in the badges (type, name,...)

Fixed (beacons) and mobile (badges) elements automatically appear on the interface once it is visible by the radiofrequency network :

• In the case of a beacon, it must be placed by hand on the map by the administrator at its actual location
• In the case of a badge, it positions itself on the card

In operation, all events (change of location, badge assignment, etc.) are recorded in real time on a database, which makes it possible in particular to trace the last movements of a badge or to retrieve a movement history.
