Smart Metallurgy Positioning System Solution

Current Status and Pain Points

Metallurgy is a pillar of basic industry with a high-risk operating environment. Accidents such as mechanical injuries, burns, scalds, poisoning and suffocation occur frequently, mostly related to personnel control, hazardous area management and inefficient emergency evacuation.

The traditional manual management model cannot adapt to large-scale metallurgical enterprises. It is difficult to grasp personnel dynamics in real time, provide risk early warning and emergency positioning, resulting in low scheduling efficiency.

National supervision over work safety has become stricter, pressing enterprises to fulfill their primary responsibilities and promoting unmanned and less-human operation in hazardous workplaces.

Functional Requirements

— Real-time Positioning
— Zone Management
— Personnel Management
— Anti-collision Management

Solution

—Outdoor open areas adopt GNSS for positioning, while indoor and outdoor sheltered areas achieve high-precision positioning through flexibly deployed UWB base stations and Ubeacons. The personnel positioning system can obtain the real-time location, distribution and regional statistics of positioning targets.

—According to the coverage of on-site positioning signals, electronic fences are set for key and high-risk areas to realize alarms such as regional intrusion, personnel over-limit, retention and overcrowding.

—Personnel job type information is displayed through multi-role management. Functions including personnel tracking and inspection linkage are used to regulate the inspection and supervision of contractors.

—Anti-collision base stations are installed on on-site transport equipment such as overhead cranes, forklifts and ladles to realize vehicle-to-person and vehicle-to-vehicle collision avoidance, as well as simultaneous positioning of personnel and vehicles.
