Enhance Personnel Visibility and Safety with RedBeam RFID
Ensure your workplace is secure and efficient with accurate, RFID-enabled employee location and access tracking.
Make Tracking Less Manual, More Impactful
In many work environments, losing track of personnel can lead to safety hazards, unnecessary costs, and misaligned resources.
Managing staffing and monitoring access gets complicated – especially in dynamic settings like hospitals, construction sites, and schools.
RedBeam RFID tracks employee to enable more effective:
Workforce Optimization – Ensure you have the right level of staff to support the right tasks in the right locations.
Safety Protocols – Quickly locate employees during emergencies and to ensure adherence with safety training.
Cost Control – Reduce overcharges and inefficiencies caused by improper job site assignments.
Audit-Ready Tracking – Maintain a detailed history of personnel access and movement for compliance and reporting.

Turn Employee Location Data into Operational Intelligence
RedBeam RFID for personnel tracking provides real-time visibility into how and where people move through your facilities.
Here’s how it works.
Attach passive RFID tags to employee badges and encode each with an ID that’s unique to a specific individual.
Install fixed RFID readers at key locations to detect badges as personnel move through entryways, corridors, or other defined zones.
Movement data – including time, location, and directionality – that’s captured by the fixed RFID readers gets transmitted to RedBeam RFID for processing.
RedBeam RFID uses REST APIs to push data to your back-office systems, ensuring a seamless flow of data, whenever and wherever it’s needed to support staffing decisions, security measures, and critical alerts.

REDBEAM RFID CASE STUDY
Energy Company Saves Millions Improving Training Efficiency and Compliance
A training facility at a large energy company coordinates the training and authorization activities of over 18,000 workers annually prior to them being able to begin working at various work sites. This process had an estimated annual cost of over $30 million.
The customer identified that more than half of workers' time during this process was time spent idle or on non-value activities.
With the goal of reducing the processing time needed to check in employees and streamline the training process, the customer needed a way to automate the tracking employee activities at its training facility.
During the check in process, workers are assigned an RFID-enabled employee badge that is associated with their employee ID in RedBeam RFID
RFID fixed readers using RedBeam RFID are installed throughout the facility to ensure that employees attend required training courses on schedule.
Tracking data is passed from RedBeam RFID via RestAPIs to a business intelligence platform that compares the tracking data to worker training schedules to make sure that training was completed with minimal idle time.
RedBeam RFID has helped this customer substantially reduce the time needed to check in workers and eliminate the manual activities previously used to monitor their activities during training. With better insights into how workers flow through the training process, significant progress has been made to reduce non-value activities and shorten training cycles. This has resulted in multi-million dollars savings in due to operational efficiency improvements.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, RFID is not the same as GPS tracking. Although both offer the ability to track and identify items, the technologies work differently and have different ideal uses.
RFID –
Uses electromagnetic fields to identify and track tags attached to items that pass near RFID readers.
Typically involves relatively short read ranges – although some device-and-tag combinations can work up to 100 meters or so.
Works well in applications like inventory management, access control, yard management, etc.
GPS –
Uses multiple satellite signals to calculate the precise locations of objects and people on a global scale.
Has no fixed range as long as the receiver is able to access satellite signals.
Works well in applications like navigation and tracking vehicles, phones, and other items over long distances.
RFID-enabled employee tracking offers significant benefits to any organization for whom enhancing workforce management, safety, and efficiency are top concerns. Here are just a few examples:
Healthcare facilities – track patients, staff, and medical equipment use within hospitals to ensure patient safety, improve care response times, and streamline workflows
Manufacturing and warehousing – track workers’ movements to optimize productivity and increase safety around hazardous areas
Retail – analyze employee presence and customer movement around the sales floor to better understand shopping patterns and reduce shrink
Event management – track attendees, staff, and VIPs at large events to manage crowd control and personalize guest experiences
Corporate workspaces – monitor employee movements within offices to improve space utilization, restrict access to sensitive systems, and locate individuals in the event of an emergency
Educational organizations – track students and staff on campus to automate attendance recording, improve access control, and alert staff to emergencies or unusual activities
Hospitality – assess guest and staff movements at hotels, resorts and theme parks to streamline check-ins and provide better service.
The data collected by RedBeam RFID is very secure. To protect the integrity of your workforce data, we provide things like –
Built-in Auth0 authentication and authorization – which ensures that sensitive information is accessible only to authorized users, meeting industry-leading standards for security; and SOC 2 Type II certification – with regular penetration testing and ongoing security scanning to identify and address vulnerabilities.
All aspects of our solution design and development are geared toward mitigating security risks while also delivering the benefits that robust, RFID-enabled employee tracking can offer.
