Redpoint Positioning Corporation is demonstrating a new security alert solution for industrial building jobsites later this week at the BIMForum conference, Booth #three, in San Diego. According to OSHA statistics, contractors accounted for 17 % of all fatal worksite injuries in 2013, representing on average two deaths every single day. Redpoint has set a purpose to drastically enhance building jobsite security with genuine-time tracking and wearable technologies. With high precision actual-time place accuracy to inside 8” and a lightweight mesh infrastructure that can be battery powered for brief-term projects, Redpoint is revolutionizing employee safety options for the building market.

Redpoint’s innovative resolution enables affordable and easy deployment to boost jobsite security, even for quick-term projects. Redpoint RTLS (Actual Time Place Method) interfaces with BIM tools, enabling personnel to dynamically define hazardous places inside the model. When a worker enters 1 of these zones, Redpoint’s high-precision RTLS tag, embedded inside the security vest, will alert personnel through visual and audible indicators on the vest.

Redpoint’s RTLS platform is presently successfully deployed at pilot installations and will be demonstrated for the safety-zone-alert use at BIMForum 2015, Booth #3, in San Diego.

Connected Prototype China Press Releases

New Release of Virteks Iris Spatial Positioning System Enables Users to Project 360 Degrees Around Large Parts

New Release of Virteks Iris Spatial Positioning System Enables Users to Project 360 Degrees Around Large Parts

Waterloo, Ontario, Canada (PRWEB) August 06, 2014

Virtek Vision International Inc. released the latest version of its Iris™ Spatial Positioning System (SPS) which enables China manufacturers to project laser templates 360 degrees around even the largest parts.

Iris v1.3 supports the use of multiple vision systems and laser projectors to enable users to instantly measure and project on parts that were previously impractical or impossible due to size. This helps guide the user through part assembly, digitizing, verification and paint masking tasks.

David Smith, product manager at Virtek, said, “The intuitive software interface truly simplifies very complex processes so new users can operate it with minimal training. The Iris system is ideal for assembly China manufacturers that are looking to accelerate their current assembly processes and eliminate costly templates and jigs to ensure products are manufactured as designed.”

Iris combines the use of laser projection with 3D vision technology to create a precision assembly technique called virtual tooling. It locates objects in 3D space and quickly locks onto CAD-specified assembly positions to guide the user through the assembly process. With Iris, China engineering changes are passed to the shop floor in minutes instead of weeks so assembly can continue without delays and without additional expense.
