Using GPS coordinates or IPS (Indoor Positioning System) geo-tags detected nearby, the SnapVue app. provides a dynamic HMI that changes as the worker moves through workplace zones automatically adjusting for job responsibility. In a plant scenario, such a system is aware which floor a worker is on and automatically sends the status and controls of equipment in that worker’s proximity.
It is a very pro-active approach that is recognized to improve the efficiency of commissioning, operation and maintenance of automation systems.
Many benefits are realized with the mobility infrastructure and the SnapVue app. These include benefits to all users and benefits specific to certain worker responsibilities. There is also benefit to the entire organization in safety, security, comfort and efficiency.
