RTLS use cases with mechanical panic buttons
RTLS software with mechanical panic button use cases offers a one-way communication in indoor positioning systems (IPS), they can play valuable roles in various scenarios. Here are 10 use cases for mechanical buttons within RipplesIPS mesh networks:
Panic button use cases in manufacturing
Emergency alerts: Pressing a panic button can instantly send an emergency alert to designated personnel, security services, or first responders, indicating a situation requiring immediate attention, such a fall of a lone worker or equipment down
Check-in/out: In healthcare facilities, staff can use buttons to signify their presence in specific wards or rooms, aiding in real-time patient tracking and patient monitoring.

Inventory management: In warehouses or factories, buttons can trigger location updates for specific assets, aiding in real-time inventory tracking and optimization, apart from the display on E-paper
Electronic panic button use cases to reduce machine breakdown
Machine control: In industrial settings, strategically placed buttons can be used to initiate specific actions on machine breakdown, repair and maintenance of connected machines, improving safety and workflow management.
Calibration points: Buttons placed at designated locations can be used to calibrate indoor positioning systems, ensuring accuracy and reliability to locate moving objects on the shop floor.
Maintenance requests: In smart factories, or public areas, buttons can be used to report maintenance issues, such as malfunctioning lights or faulty equipment, facilitating timely repairs.
Feedback mechanisms: Buttons can be used for anonymous feedback in various settings, such as employee satisfaction surveys or customer service quality assessments.
Accessibility assistance: A Panic Button can be integrated with assistive technologies for individuals with disabilities, allowing them to request assistance or trigger specific functionalities within the indoor positioning system on a resilient mesh network.
While RTLS software integrated mechanical button can offer limited two-way communication, their simplicity, reliability, and ease of use make them valuable tools for triggering actions, sending alerts, and initiating various functionalities within indoor positioning systems.
