Are you looking for a solutions partner for your smart factory, Industry 4.0 and your industrial IoT”? PEOPLE AND TECHNOLOGY is your answer!
Warehouse and Asset Tracking
- First-in, first-out management of materials and items in warehouse
- Reduction of loading/unloading time and prevention of errors
Worker Safety
- Monitoring of workers’ biometric signals
- Advance warning of planned work in dangerous areas and prevention of accidents
Visitor Tracking
- Tracking of visitor locations on business sites
- Strengthening of security surrounding knowledge service companies
Security Asset Tracking
- Tracking of confidential items such as design drawings, documents, and prototypes
Worker safety management
In large workplaces such as factories, safety failures often lead to injury or death because the rescue team cannot arrive in time since production automation makes it difficult to locate workers within the “golden time”.
This affects large manufacturing plants in particular, as such incidents force their expansive production lines to stop while investigations are carried out to find the causes of the accident and to prevent recurrence.
Therefore, a solution that quickly locates workers is crucial as well as to sustain business activities.
The IndoorPlus+ RTLS is a worker safety management solution with a proven track record at large workplaces in Korea.
LG Display Paju Factory
- LG Display’s Paju Plant chose the IndoorPlus+ RTLS as its RTLS-based worker safety management solution after extensive benchmark testing in 2017.
- First applied to the company’s P7 Factory in 2017, there are further plans to expand its use in 2018.
Workers can be helped within the golden time after an accident if they can be located in real time.

For users of corporate phones with private LTE, the RTLS app may replace the BLE tags as part of factory mobilization.
Seoul Metro
- IndoorPlus+ RTLS was selected to be the worker safety management solution for the 2018 Gunja Smart Station Project.
- To be expanded after a pilot project
IndoorPlus+ RTLS is the preferred solution for preventing accidents by tracking employee locations and controlling entry and access to closed workspaces such as tunnels.
private network | and tag configuration | BLE network management server | Tunnel in/out control |
- Optimal solution for workspaces such as subway tunnels
- – BLE-based IoT private network configured with BLE tags and BLE gateway
– Real-time worker status and location monitoring in relation to tunnel entry/exit
– BLE tags that can transmit SOS signals
– Preventing accidents when a repair train enters a tunnel
- Maximum cost effectiveness
- – The scalable 8-port BLE gateway (IndoorPlus+ 8- port Gateway) can support up to 8 logical BLE scanners with a physical BLE gateway device.
– The directional antenna improves location precision and enables configuration of the target system with fewer devices.
BASF Korea’s Yeosu Factory
- Two successful completions of PoC at the plant in December 2017
- Proposal for commercialization in 2018 (including explosion proof certification)
The IndoorPlus+ RTLS solution was also proven in proof of concept(PoC) in large chemical plants such as BASF Korea’s Yeosu Plant which must track thousands of workers during large-scale maintenance tasks such as turn around.

Process optimization based on asset tracking
The solution attaches Bluetooth sensors to finished and semi-finished products and even parts, making effective tracking possible throughout the whole production process.
Conventional barcode systems require manual scanning of each object to track its current process.
Such manual tasks often include human error.
This human error degrades the reliability of data generated by the production processes and makes it difficult to manage shipments effectively.
Identifying bottlenecks in each part of each process in real time leads to the ability to correct these problems and help a smart factory dramatically improve productivity.
The IndoorPlus+ RTLS solution is breaking new ground in data-based plant operation efficiency and management with automated systems and IoT technology.
Hanwha Techwin Aero Engines factory
- Selected in 2017 by Hanhwa Techwin as its smart factory process efficiency solution for its new factory for aircraft engine parts in Changwon
- Plans include expansion of the application to the old factory and its factory in Vietnam in 2018

IndoorPlus+ RTLS can guarantee optimal performance even under the physical constraints of various types of factory equipment.
Visitor Tracking – Security Service
Factory offices and research centers protect key confidential assets and must have high levels of security. The importance of security can never be overemphasized in an environment of stiffening global competition.
In addition to employees, a factory is always busy with vendor staff, visitors, and other people. The importance of location-based security to protect key company assets has increased under such complex environments.
AMORE PACIFIC
- Tracking of movement paths and device management at each gateway for control of access to the factory
- Amore-Pacific’s Osan Factory in 2016
- To be expanded to Gimcheon Factory in 2017
IndoorPlus+ RTLS solution interfaces with MDM (Mobile Device Management) and CCTV to bring your security to a new level.

RTLS’ micro fencing function recognizes access zone while the MDM server locks smartphones owned by people entering the factory.
IndoorPlus+ RTLS solution is a disruptive innovation solution for the existing entry point control and post-tracking security services.
Real-time location tracking reports and monitors anyone entering a restricted zone in real time and enables dispatching of security personnel immediately if needed. CCTV interfacing also allows efficient onsite monitoring.
Moving from point-to-point dot security to line security is a key value.
Smart maintenance with digital twin technology
(service to be introduced in H1 2018)
Pioneering industrial IoT technologies such as digital twining using corporate phones and business tablet devices in private LTE and wireless mobility business environments were introduced in 2017.
Indoor location and sensorization are the key software for these digital twinning systems.
The smart maintenance system tracks precisely (within 2-3 m) the current locations of people inside a factory to enable smart and efficient management of equipment and maintenance work.
The system provides a mobile smart work environment with 3D electronic mapping of facilities and augmented reality (AR) technology.
