自动化员工人数为费列罗带来安全保障

1200 多名人员和访客，在任何时候都是一项艰巨的任务，在紧急情况的混乱环境中更难。对于此类事件中人员的安全疏散，每一秒都很重要。

费列罗需要一种方法来确认在紧急疏散进行时所有员工都能被安全地计算在内。手动方法已经过时了——通过手动计数来跟踪每个人既费时又容易出错。即使所有人员都出现在专用集合点，也无法准确获得任何一天的员工名册，尤其是当访客也在大楼内时。

费列罗非常重视这些员工的安全，最近看到了一种利用最新技术的解决方案。公司的内部审计系统要求员工人数快。毕竟，当发生紧急情况并且需要考虑人员时，几秒钟可能至关重要。

费列罗排除了使用条码技术的可能性，因为在紧急情况下扫描单个条码会太慢。无源 RFID 也有其自身的缺点，因为它需要一个需要电源和网络连接或 Wi-Fi 的读取器基础设施。因此，该公司与 Litum IoT 合作，后者提供了一种蓝牙低功耗 (BLE) 解决方案，无需固定基础设施。借助自动紧急点名系统，公司的安全官员可以利用简单的电子徽章和移动应用程序在紧急情况下捕获有关谁是安全的和谁可能不是安全的关键信息。

Litum 自动紧急点名提供由可远距离传输的电池供电的 BLE 徽章，因此无需电缆，也无需安装硬件。

借助该解决方案，费列罗可以通过手机或平板电脑简单地实时捕获员工和访客的位置，并且该解决方案软件可以将该数据与公司的员工名册进行比较，该名册会从考勤系统中定期刷新。

  Since it was implemented, the Automated Emergency Roll Call system has transformed the way Ferrero conducts its evacuation exercises and any real-life events. Gone are the clipboards, paper and pen that would be necessary in a manual evacuation system. With the BLE solution, the company management knows in seconds that its people are safely evacuated, or who still needs to be located.

  The confectionary company plants are also able to ensure they comply with all regulatory health and occupational safety requirements. In addition to its automatic people counting feature, the system tracks the number of practice exercises conducted and the total time of the exercise as well as the results.

  The system was deployed quickly without the need for hardware cabling for gateways or readers. Instead, the cell phones or tables of safety personnel provide the location data that is so critical in an emergency, with no added effort. The software uploads and download critical data from a cloud-based server via a cellular connection.

  Since the solution went live Ferrero has conducted firefighting exercises in compliance with occupational safety regulations, and during the exercises the time of the full evacuation was vastly reduced, while the accuracy of results rose.
