How Technology Saves Lives: Personnel Evacuation with RealTrac

17.08.2025

In any industrial enterprise, ensuring employee safety is not just a formality, but a strategic priority. Production processes always carry risks, such as gas leaks, fires, equipment failures, and collapses. In such situations, every second counts, and a well-organized evacuation can save lives.

The main question is how to quickly and accurately ensure that all employees and contractors have left the danger zone. Methods such as roll calls, checklists, and visual inspections are outdated. Today, modern technology steps in.

Technology That Transforms Safety

RealTrac offers a fully automated personnel accounting solution for evacuations. The system tracks people’s locations in real time and displays on a map who has evacuated and who remains inside the facility.

For the dispatcher, this means:

• Instant access to objective information;

• Elimination of errors caused by human error;

• The ability to send rescuers directly to where they are needed most.

What used to take several minutes of manual checking now takes only seconds.

How It Works in Practice

Each employee is given a personal device that continuously transmits a signal. This signal is then processed by the system.

The solution includes:

• Real-time positioning — monitoring the movement of people and vehicles inside the facility.

• Zone tracking — automatic registration of who entered or exited and how long they stayed.

• Incident detection — falls, loss of consciousness, or pressing a panic button are instantly reported.

• Evacuation management — a visual map showing evacuation routes and marking those who remain in danger.

In case of an emergency, the system can activate audio or visual alerts, trigger sirens, and switch on emergency lighting, ensuring a controlled and safe evacuation.

Where the System Is Especially Valuable

RealTrac solutions are used across industries where fast response can save health and lives:

• Mines and underground facilities — control in conditions of limited visibility and high risk.

• Oil and gas industry — minimizing risks of leaks and fires.

• Chemical plants — strict access control and protection against staying in hazardous areas.

• Large factories and warehouses — preventing accidents and enabling controlled evacuation.
