Use of GPS Technology in Mercari Lone Worker Panic Buttons
Lone worker alarms can be invaluable tools in protecting those working alone. Although these alarms go by various names and designations, their purpose remains the same - to enable workers to quickly and efficiently request help when needed.

GPS supports applications across the world that rely on satellite technology for accurate positioning and navigation, from mining companies surveying mineral deposits to hotel employees making checks with management.
The VigieTouch


Our Lone Worker Safety Alarm is a 4G panic button designed to provide assistance when needed with just the push of a button. This device fits seamlessly into any lone worker's everyday activities so they can rest easy knowing they can always find help quickly and discreetly when required.

livelife Contrary to other smartphone panic buttons, our solution uses GPS and geofencing technology to quickly track employee locations. This enables emergency contacts to locate it more quickly and reduce response times even in areas with limited coverage. In addition, notifications can be configured when an employee enters or leaves specific zones.

Workers can leverage the motion features of their smartphone to trigger a panic alarm. By using the SafetyLine app and the Shake to SOS feature, workers can shake their phones vigorously to set off an alert without unlocking or pressing any buttons - providing an easy and discreet way to seek assistance when danger threatens. This method can especially assist those working in remote or high risk environments.

Other SafetyLine features can also prove invaluable to lone workers, including Man Down detection - this feature can detect periods when there has been no movement and alert emergency contacts immediately. A variety of sensors such as Auto Fall Detection and vibration sensor are also available to increase reliability of this emergency response system.
Auto Fall Detection

Working alone increases the risks of serious accidents or health issues that could incapacitate workers, making it essential that lone workers have access to an effective safety system. Lone worker panic buttons, also known as Man Down alarms, allow at-risk employees to call for help quickly by pressing discreet buttons on lanyards, belt clips or wristbands; these devices offer full functionality to address common emergencies like health and weather issues, vehicle collisions or falls.

An essential feature of many lone worker panic buttons is automatic fall detection, which uses accelerometers and gyroscopes to monitor wearer movement to identify when they stop moving for extended periods of time - this triggers the device to call emergency contacts, company monitoring center or 9-1-1 as soon as it senses any stoppage of movement.

GPS tracking is an integral component of lone work alarms, enabling responders to quickly pinpoint a worker even if they are unconscious or unable to verbally communicate their location. This feature is especially valuable when used by older adults with cognitive impairments who wander due to dementia; caregivers or family members can use it in case of emergency to locate them quickly. Specifically designed to do just this task using a combination of GPS, WiFi and cell tower triangulation techniques it can pinpoint exact locations of those in an emergency situation.
Location Tracking

Mercari's lone worker panic alarms feature GPS technology to allow users to be located during an emergency situation. GPS is comprised of 24 well-spaced satellites orbiting Earth; when an employee presses the help button on one of these Mercari devices, GPS technology sends their exact location information directly to designated contacts or supervisors in case an incident arises.

Working alone increases workers' risk of serious accidents that could leave them incapacitated and unable to seek assistance, including slips, trips and falls; machinery accidents; hazardous chemical exposure; epileptic seizures and heart attacks - to name but a few. A Mercari Technologies Man Down alarm is designed to detect such events and automatically alert emergency contacts via SMS text messaging as well as Google Maps hyperlink.

Some individuals may be concerned about the privacy implications of GPS tracking devices, which have come under increasing fire as many employers utilize this technology on employees' phones and tablets to track them for security purposes. It should be noted that while certain situations call for tracking someone's whereabouts - for instance in office buildings or when visiting potentially dangerous clients - their consent must always be sought prior to such surveillance being applied.
Instant Alerts

Panic buttons are essential safety tools that enable employees to raise the alarm during emergencies, but to provide true lone worker safety, a comprehensive personal security solution such as SafetyLine is needed.

Mobile panic buttons connect users directly with emergency contacts via cell phone technology when activated. An SMS is then sent containing their activation location which automatically updates until the situation has been addressed.

Mobile panic GPS buttons differ from an audible duress alarm by sending out a silent request for assistance, thus minimizing further anxiety to those in danger. Their use makes these alarms ideal in sensitive environments like elderly living alone.

Mobile panic GPS buttons provide constant accessibility as they can be worn or carried at all times, unlike phones which require apps for them to function. Their discreet design and independence from smartphones make these solutions more reliable in an emergency, especially when seconds count. Furthermore, their GPS functionality can be used to geo fence a specific area and notify emergency contacts if it moves into or out of it - thus alerting responders immediately and effectively.
