Crayonic RTLS
Status: In development. Product details and timelines are preliminary and may change before release.
Overview
Crayonic RTLS (Real-Time Location System) extends the Crayonic wearable ecosystem with indoor-location and personnel-safety capabilities. It builds on the existing Crayonic Badge and Bridge platform to add location awareness, zone policies, and on-badge emergency actions such as a Panic Button.
Planned Capabilities
- Indoor location tracking — continuous position data for Crayonic Badge wearers inside a configured facility
- Zone policies — define safe zones, restricted zones, and transition rules (e.g. automatic workstation lock when a user leaves a secure area)
- Panic Button — a discreet on-badge action that triggers an alarm in the management console with the user's last known location
- Lone-worker safety — check-in intervals, no-motion detection, and alerting
- Audit trail — timestamped location events stored and exportable for compliance and incident review
Integration Points
RTLS is planned to integrate with the rest of the Crayonic stack:
- Crayonic Badge — the wearable that produces location beacons and triggers Panic Button events
- Crayonic Bridge / anchor devices — provide the reference points for indoor localization
- Crayonic Device Manager — receives location and safety events alongside existing security events; role-scoped dashboards for safety officers
- Crayonic Credential Manager — policies that combine identity, credentials, and zone membership
Typical Use Cases
- Industrial and healthcare facilities — personnel tracking, emergency response
- Secure labs and data centres — zone-based access and automatic workstation locking
- Hospitals and care homes — lone-worker protection, panic escalation, response-time metrics
- Critical infrastructure sites — live headcount and evacuation support
