Introduction: Why High-Risk Zones Need Extra Safety Measures

Industrial plants are complex environments with multiple high-risk areas—think heavy machinery zones, chemical storage, or high-voltage rooms. While staff may be trained and aware of these zones, visitors or new workers might unintentionally wander into danger.
That’s where Tracko’s portable GPS tracker comes in.

This tiny yet powerful tracker ensures nobody enters a restricted zone without authorization, with real-time geofence alerts, 24/7 tracking, and instant notification to supervisors.

The Challenge: Monitoring Visitors in Large Industrial Premises

Industrial premises can span thousands of square meters with multiple buildings and hazard zones. Managing visitor movements manually or through paper-based entry logs isn’t just outdated—it’s unsafe.

Without a digital boundary system, there’s always a risk of human error, and unauthorized access to high-risk areas can lead to accidents, injuries, or legal issues.

The Solution: Tracko’s Portable GPS Tracker with Geofencing

Tracko offers a compact, rechargeable GPS tracker that can be:

• Tagged to a visitor’s ID card/lanyard

• Clipped onto their belt or pocket

• Or worn discreetly using a band

Once activated, the admin can assign a geofence—a virtual boundary—around dangerous zones like:

• Machinery areas

• Boiler rooms

• Chemical storage spaces

• Electrical panels

If the person carrying the device crosses into this restricted geofence, Tracko sends an instant alert via app, SMS, or platform dashboard.

Key Features That Make Tracko Ideal for Industrial Safety

• 🔴 Geofence Alerts – Get notified the moment someone enters a restricted zone

• ðŸ“� Real-Time Tracking – Monitor visitor or contractor movement across the plant

• 🔋 Long Battery Life – 850mAh battery ensures it works for hours, even across long plant tours

• ðŸŒ� Google Enterprise Maps – Accurate location tagging inside large or complex sites

• 📊 Reports & History – Playback past routes and geofence breach logs for audits

• 🧲 Portable & Discreet – Small enough to be unnoticed, powerful enough to protect

• 🚨 SOS Option (Optional) – Can also include an SOS button for emergency cases

Use Cases in Large Industrial Plants

1. Visitor Management: Attach a tracker to any visitor entering the premises. Get notified if they wander off into unauthorized zones.

2. Contractor Safety: Assign devices to external maintenance crews working near hazardous zones.

3. Compliance Monitoring: Generate logs to ensure that safety protocols were followed during plant visits or audits.

4. Emergency Response: In case of incidents, know the last known location of every device to react quickly.

Benefits of Implementing Tracko’s Solution

• ✅ Prevent accidents proactively, not reactively

• ✅ Improve visitor safety without needing escorts for each person

• ✅ Ensure regulatory compliance with digital logs and route history

• ✅ Reduce the load on human supervisors and security staff

• ✅ Create a culture of safety and accountability

Real-World Scenario: What Happens Without a Safety Tracker

Let’s say a third-party contractor is called in for pipe inspection. Due to unclear signage or lack of awareness, they enter a boiler zone with high heat risk. By the time someone notices, it could be too late.

With Tracko, the second they breach the geofence, you get notified. You can call or guide them away instantly—accident avoided.

Conclusion: Make Safety Smarter with Tracko

Whether you're running a chemical plant, manufacturing facility, or an energy unit, Tracko’s portable GPS tracker adds a smart layer of protection against unauthorized access to high-risk areas.

Protect your people. Prevent accidents. And stay compliant—all with one powerful little device.
