Minder – Personnel Situation Awareness

RemEX has developed an application to reduce HSE exposure especially in remote areas of poor radio or cell phone coverage. ‘Minder’ provides comprehensive real time situational awareness for visitors or field workers in remote locations, and the capability to summon assistance.  The main features include:

  1. Real time location monitoring of staff for logistics and/or emergency management
  2. Individual distress/SOS alert initiation including automated fall alerts
  3. Geofencing & hazard alerts warn personnel when entering dangerous or restricted areas
  4. Trail reconstruction for search and rescue of missing personnel
  5. T-card/Journey management – camp/facility exit & return logs

The system uses the latest ISM band technology and cost effectively mitigates risk, speeds incident response, and improves productivity and project management.
