Real-time location intelligence for safer industrial workplaces

Real-time location intelligence for safer industrial workplaces

Quantum RTLS® creates a high-fidelity digital view of industrial operations by tracking workers, vehicles, equipment, and hazards in real time with 1.5 mm 3D accuracy. This precision enables early detection of unsafe proximity, restricted-zone entry, person-down events, and other emerging risks.

From factories and warehouses to oil rigs and heavy industrial sites, we help customers build safer, more accountable operations.

Real-time industrial safety visualization

Continuous visibility beats point-based detection

Legacy digital safety systems detect when a worker is near a beacon, vehicle, doorway, or hazard, but they only create isolated detection events.
Quantum RTLS provides wall-to-wall 3D location data across the worksite, giving safety teams the full movement context behind every risk.

Wearable Safety Badges with Onboard Alerts

Wearable safety badges with
onboard alerts

Alert the worker immediately, not just the control room.

Quantum RTLS pinpoints wearable badges in 3D with millimeter accuracy, triggering onboard alerts the moment a worker enters a restricted zone, approaches a hazard, or violates a safety rule. 

supports:

restricted zone entry, pedestrian/equipment alerts, overhead crane zones, high-load exclusions, lone worker, man-down, mustering, evacuation, and unauthorized access.

Precision that holds up in challenging environments

Precision that holds up in challenging environments

In worker safety, “close enough” is not enough. A few feet of uncertainty can place a worker on the wrong side of a restricted boundary, miss whether they are under a suspended load, or make it unclear if they entered a machine envelope, walkway, doorway, or authorized work zone. 

Only Quantum RTLS delivers millimeter-accurate 3D positioning, so safety zones can reflect the real geometry of the worksite instead of broad detection areas. 

Separate safe from unsafe
with precision

Create accurate boundaries around cranes, machines, vehicles, doorways, walkways, overhead loads, and restricted work areas. 

Measure risk in X, Y, and Z

Understand whether a worker is beside a hazard, inside it, above it, below it, or directly under it.

Perform in RF-hostile environments

Ultrasonic positioning is well suited to steel-heavy, enclosed, and RF-challenging environments where tanks, pipe racks, machinery, vehicles, and rig structures can interfere with RF-only systems.

Avoid the blind spots
of vision-only systems

Camera and LiDAR systems can struggle when lighting changes, sightlines are blocked, surfaces are reflective, equipment moves, dust is present, or conditions change across shifts.

Reduce false confidence from approximate data

Safety teams should not have to make critical decisions from position data that drifts, jumps, or becomes unreliable when the environment changes.

Create defensible safety records

When an alert, breach, or near miss occurs, teams can review precise movement history instead of trying to interpret noisy, approximate, or incomplete location data.

Intrinsically safe RTLS for hazardous worksites

QA Map

Intrinsically safe RTLS for hazardous worksites

Quantum RTLS is available as an intrinsically safe, IP65-rated system for oil and gas, refineries, processing facilities, and other hazardous industrial environments. 

The system pairs rugged wearable devices with self-contained wireless Anchors designed for fast deployment in demanding worksites. Battery-operated Anchors eliminate the need for hardwired installation and local networking infrastructure keeps critical RTLS operations running on site.  

Configurable zones and safety rules for real operations

Every site has different hazards, workflows, crews, vehicles, equipment, and operating rules.
Quantum RTLS lets teams configure safety controls around how the workplace actually functions.
 

3D safety
zones

Create millimeter-accurate safety zones in X, Y, and Z around equipment, walkways, overhead loads, restricted areas, and temporary work zones.

Proximity
zones

Use targeted proximity detection for rooms, compartments, muster points, and lower-risk areas where presence matters but full RTLS coverage is not required.

Embedded
zone logic

Run zone logic directly on the wearable badge for faster, more resilient alerts when workers cross configured boundaries.

Safety
rules

Configure rules by zone, operator, equipment, role, shift, workflow, production state, maintenance window, or temporary work condition.

Worker safety use cases

Worker safety use cases

Personnel visibility

Know where workers, contractors, and critical personnel are in real time across complex industrial environments. Improve situational awareness, reduce search time, and support faster response during routine operations and emergencies. 

Man-down detection

Combine precise 3D location with onboard wearable sensors to detect potential man-down scenarios and identify the worker’s exact location, including height or elevation. This is especially valuable in multi-level facilities, rigs, platforms, mezzanines, and industrial structures. 

Lone worker detection

Monitor for unexpected lack of movement, extended dwell time, or abnormal activity patterns. Help identify workers who may be isolated, immobile, or in need of assistance, especially during maintenance, inspection, shutdown, or night-shift operations. 

Digital mustering

Automatically identify who is present at muster points during an evacuation or emergency. Reduce manual roll-call delays and give incident commanders faster visibility into who is safe, who is missing, and where missing personnel may have last been detected. 

Overhead crane safety

Create dynamic exclusion zones around crane paths, suspended loads, high-load doorways, and transfer areas. Alert workers when they enter risk zones and provide traceability for near misses involving high-load movement. 

Pedestrian and vehicle safety

Monitor interactions between workers, forklifts, AGVs, trucks, and mobile equipment. Create safety buffers, restricted travel paths, and pedestrian exclusion zones to reduce risk in shared spaces. 

Machine-to-machine and machine-to-person safety

Detect when equipment, vehicles, tools, or workers enter unsafe proximity or restricted operating envelopes. Support safer coordination between machines, automation, and human operators. 

Narrow aisle safety

Identify workers and vehicles entering constrained aisles, blind corners, or high-congestion areas. Trigger alerts and safety workflows before limited visibility creates a hazardous situation. 

High-load exclusion zones

Enforce safety zones around doorways, lifts, transfer points, suspended loads, and other areas where heavy materials move through the facility. Help prevent workers from entering areas where overhead or moving loads create elevated risk. 

Access control automation

Use real-time location and configurable zone rules to automate access workflows. Allow only approved operators, crews, vehicles, or equipment into specific zones based on role, certification, shift, workflow, or equipment status. 

Restricted area enforcement

Create millimeter-accurate restricted zones around equipment, hazardous materials, process areas, maintenance zones, and temporary workspaces. Alert workers and supervisors when unauthorized access occurs. 

Near-miss detection and investigation

Capture the location history, timing, and movement context around unsafe interactions. Give safety teams a traceable record of what happened before, during, and after a near miss.
