Inventrack POB β People On Board
Real-time personnel tracking powered by RTLS technology. Know exactly who is on board, where they are, and how they move β across vessels, offshore platforms, data centers, and any facility where personnel accountability matters.
Personnel Tracking Challenges Solved
β Manual Headcounts & Roll Calls
Paper-based muster lists and manual roll calls are slow, error-prone, and impossible during emergencies when every second counts.
β Instant Automated Headcount
Real-time POB displays show exactly who is on site, their zone location, and entry/exit times β updated continuously without manual intervention.
β No Visibility Into Personnel Movement
Traditional access control only captures entry and exit. There is no visibility into where personnel are located within the facility in real time.
β Live Map with Zone Tracking
Interactive real-time maps display personnel positions across floors, zones, and buildings using BLE, UWB, or LoRaWAN positioning β down to sub-meter accuracy.
β Disconnected Visitor & Staff Systems
Separate systems for staff tracking and visitor management create blind spots and incomplete situational awareness during emergencies.
β Unified with Inventrack VMS
Combined with Inventrack VMS, POB delivers a complete picture β staff, contractors, and visitors β all tracked in one platform with full audit trail.
Core Capabilities
Real-Time Map Display
Interactive 2D and 3D floor plans showing live personnel positions. Supports multi-floor buildings, vessel decks, and outdoor areas. Pan, zoom, and filter by personnel type, zone, or department. Historical playback for movement analysis.
POB Table & Status Display
Dedicated on-board display showing current headcount, personnel list with zone assignments, check-in/check-out times, and duration on site. Large-format display mode for control rooms and security desks. Filterable by location, department, role, and status.
Multi-Technology RTLS
Flexible positioning technology to suit any environment. Use BLE beacons for cost-effective zone-level tracking, UWB for sub-meter precision in critical areas, or LoRaWAN for long-range coverage across large sites and outdoor areas. Mix technologies within a single deployment.
Emergency Mustering
Instant emergency headcount with missing personnel identification. Automatic comparison against expected POB list highlights who is unaccounted for. Integration with PA systems and emergency notification for rapid response.
Geo-Fencing & Zone Alerts
Define restricted zones, hazardous areas, and authorized perimeters. Automatic alerts when personnel enter unauthorized zones or remain in hazardous areas beyond safe time limits. Configurable escalation workflows per zone.
Movement Analytics & Reporting
Historical movement trails, zone dwell-time analysis, traffic heatmaps, and occupancy trends. Exportable reports for safety compliance, shift handover, and operational planning. Scheduled report delivery via email.
RTLS Technology Options
BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy)
Zone-level accuracy (3-5m). Low-cost beacons with long battery life. Ideal for room and zone presence detection.
UWB (Ultra-Wideband)
Sub-meter accuracy (10-30cm). Precise positioning for safety-critical environments. Real-time X/Y coordinates.
LoRaWAN
Long-range coverage (up to 15km). Low power consumption. Ideal for large outdoor sites and remote locations.
