In emergencies, knowing exactly where someone is can be the difference between a swift rescue and a delayed response. Traditional GPS tracking often fails indoors, leaving workers vulnerable when they need help most. Indoor mapping technology solves this by providing precise, real-time location awareness, ensuring responders can act quickly—even in complex environments.
To enhance workplace safety, Epic Blue and Flic have teamed up to integrate real-time indoor mapping with intuitive emergency alerting. By combining intelligent indoor positioning with an easy-to-use alerting system, Guardian and Flic create a safety solution that is both proactive and highly reliable.
A Smarter Solution for Workplace Safety
Workers in high-risk environments, such as security personnel, hospital staff, and maintenance teams, often lack immediate access to help. Traditional safety protocols like periodic check-ins or manual distress calls can be slow and ineffective. Guardian addresses this with real-time positioning, geofencing, and intelligent alerting, even in complex indoor environments.
Why Flic Smart Buttons Make the Difference
In high-stress situations, unlocking a phone or opening an app can be difficult. Flic Smart Buttons provide a discreet, reliable, and instant way for workers to send alerts, ensuring faster response times.
Designed for ease of use, these compact, wireless buttons can be worn, attached to workstations, or placed within reach, allowing workers to trigger an alert without distractions. With a simple push, double-push, or hold, users can customize actions, whether it’s calling for immediate assistance, notifying colleagues, or escalating emergencies. Flic’s long battery life, secure connectivity, and seamless pairing with Guardian ensure that workers always have a dependable way to signal for help, without relying on fragile touchscreen devices.
Key benefits include:
✅ Immediate Emergency Alerts – A single push triggers an alert in Guardian, delivering real-time location data.
