The system combines a gas detector,
router and Web interface to convey safety
and location data from the remote worker
to a safety manager using a global positioning system in near real time to help
companies speed response to workers in
distress and better manage remote and
mobile assets, according to Honeywell.
With the system, safety managers can
locate workers on demand, check near
real-time readings of gas monitors, receive
automatic alerts of gas alarms and mandown incidents, perform site checkin/check-out, send two-way text messages,
and track vehicle maintenance, fuel usage
and driving habits, the company states.
"Companies have a responsibility to
look after the safety and well-being of
all their employees, and now, with ConneXt LoneWorker, they have greater assurance that no worker will get left behind," Jose Diaz, global product marketing
manager for Honeywell, said in a statement. "ConneXt LoneWorker offers nearly
100 percent on-demand data availability,
even to the most far-flung points of an
enterprise. This solution offers customers

a potential life-saving tool for remote
workers and a means for companies to
better manage their mobile assets."
The LoneWorker package includes the
ConneX1 single gas portable monitor,
which functions on its own Wi-Fi network.
It includes a single gas sensor for hydrogen
sulfide, plus an onboard man-down inertial
sensor, panic button and two-way texting,
according to information from Honeywell.
The Trakopolis™ component is a configurable, cloud-based asset management
program that provides visibility, alerts,
analytics and business intelligence, while
the IntelliDoX™ component is a networkable docking and data management
station that performs bump tests, calibration and detector configuration, sends email notices, and automates record keeping, Honeywell says.
The ConneX1 portable gas monitor
provides information on gas concentration
levels and location through a secure WiFi connection to broadband modem, which
operates in satellite/cellular dual mode
and can switch automatically from cellular

to satellite transmission when the cellular
signal is out of range. The information
can be displayed on any PC, laptop or
smartphone with an Internet connection.
Honeywell adds that the portable docking
module is used for bump testing the gas
monitor units, logging data, and managing
records.
