TECHNOLOGY
The Protector has been developed to give a fast and concrete answer to a different range of possible applications.
The Protector (PROximity deTECTOR) is a Super Beacon developed with Blebricks technology: it is a MULTIFUNCTIONAL device that can be used for different applications including beaconings, Real Time Location, positional datalogging and remote signalling.
It can operate autonomously, without infrastructure, or within a system that uses gateways and relies on applications on smartphones or remote servers to take full advantage of its properties.
The Protector is a sanitizable device and thanks to the long life of the batteries it requires very little maintenance.

It is possible to use the Protector with one or more of the following features:
Beacon
It can be used as long life Beacon (>7 years) with auxiliary functionality of man down and shock detection. Available on request with I-Beacon and Eddystone format transmission.
Localizer (RTLS)
Using Protectors with Gateways or advanced RTLS systems (Quuppa), or even with “positional” Beacons, objects and/or people can be located with the desired precision, even submetrically.
Proximity Detector
It can detect, store and transmit proximity conditions with other similar devices or Beacons for Contact Tracing type applications, or even for path/path tracking. Contacts or Routes can be logged and downloaded offlines.
Remote Signalling Device
Signaling Devices (LED-RGB, Vibro-Motor, Buzzer) can be remotely activated via Gateways and/or Smartphones to notify hazardous conditions, locate objects etc.
Local Hazard Beacon
Thanks to the integrated sensors it can store and signal to other Protectors, Smartphones and Gateways, dangers arising from conditions such as shock, man down, panic, high temperatures, assemblies, overturns.
Configurable Sensors Hub
The Protector can be connected to all Blebricks communication devices and sensors. For example, it can integrate sensors able to measure the main environmental, inertial and physiological parameters.
The Protectors, worn by individuals, are developed in support of company policies aimed at ensuring the safe performance of work activities through:
Once activated, the Protectors can be used, depending on the application with or without auxiliary infrastructure, for the most diverse uses described above. The Protectors communicate via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Through the provided application, MyProtector, the Protectors can be configured according to the needs and requirements of the company. They can also be reprogrammed or reconfigured on the fly at any time.
The Protectors can connect to the Internet through special receivers (Gateways) and therefore exchange the data collected with a remote server. The Gateways autonomously select the Protectors present within the range of action, connect with them, download the data and send it directly to the server. A special application on the server can therefore be used, for example, to trace and report any risk situations and locate the devices.
Web Platform
The data collected by the Protector and transmitted to the Gateway are managed by a special application, for applications such as:
- Attendance and access control
- Contact Tracing
- Real Time Location
- Remote signaling
- Signaling of local dangerous conditions
