Lone worker system launch
24 February 2014
Castle Group has launched a brand new system for lone worker protection.

The key product in the range is the Loner SMD, which is a personally worn device that contains various personal protection features including a silent or audible panic alarm, a fall detector and a motion detector for man-down alerts. The system will also alert when its user logs on or off the system, which can be tracked on a simple internet portal.
In the event of an alert, the user can be pin-pointed via a map-based window on the web portal, which will also give details of the user and of the nature of the alert. This allows appropriate action to be taken to address any possible dangers faced by the employee.
Operating over multiple mobile phone networks and with a high-power aerial, this product can send alerts even in areas of very poor mobile phone signal – much in the same way you can always call 999. Combined with high precision GPS, the loner SMD can optionally be used as a tracking device if this is of benefit to the organisation.
