The Northern Apex personnel tracking solution for personnel monitoring and mustering is a turnkey solution for detecting and tracking employees, vendors, suppliers, contractors, customers and other visitors to your facility.
Northern Apex strategically locates readers at key points within the defined zones to provide instant visibility as individuals enter and leave that area. Depending on your needs we use a variety of auto-ID solutions including RFID, barcodes, 2D data matrices, as well as biometrics to deliver accurate, near real-time reporting. Depending on your desired level of detail our solution uses Real-Time Location (RTL) or Last-Time Location (LTL) information which allows the system to pinpoint the individual's current position or last known position respectively. Depending on your required level of granularity, our system can locate someone to the nearest square yard. The system can be PC, tablet, or smartphone based to meet your specific requirements.

Personnel Tracking Use Cases
Work Center Labor Tracking
A data capture device installed at a workstation or defined area allows you to monitor which employees are present and for how long. This provides measurements of labor efficiency and allows insights into workflow productivity.
Workcell/Automation Operator Log-on and Training Authentication
If you have sensitive operations that require certified personnel to work on specific tasks you can be sure that the appropriate people are doing that work by associating employee authentication records with unique employee identification and combining that with operator log-on.
Analyze Employee Movement Patterns
Monitor and measure personnel movement in the present to be sure employees are where they should be but also look backward into past movement to identify trends in employee location and the amount of time spent at those locations. Identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies and problem areas in your production workflow.
Account for Employees in Emergency Evacuations
Emergency mustering locations can be defined for your facility when an emergency evacuation is necessary. The system provides information on the personnel present at the mustering point and identifies missing employees or facility visitors in seconds without requiring badge swipes or manual checklists. The system also provides vital last-seen location data for missing personnel or visitors.
Safety & Exposure Awareness
Zones can be defined that are restricted because they are hazardous or require safety gear and can create alerts or alarms when unauthorized or not properly outfitted employees or visitors attempt to enter any of these defined restricted zones.
Automated Piece Rate per Employee
Tally piece rates of completed products per employee with greater accuracy by combining employee identification tags with workstation operator logging. Eliminate the time consuming and inaccurate manual tracking of piece rates.
Automate Employee Time and Attendance Records
Automatically create accurate records of employees start times when they enter a defined work zone to start a shift and again when leaving the work zone at the end of the day. Make the lunch room a defined zone and track break times to ensure your workforce runs at optimum efficiency.
