Draw a zone. Decide what should happen there.
A position becomes useful when the platform knows what the place means. Zones give every part of a floor a name, and rules say which movements are worth telling someone about.
- Zones drawn on the plan
- Restricted areas
- Dwell and occupancy limits
- Temperature and humidity
The rules a client can set.
Entering a zone
A tag arrives where you are waiting for it: stock reaches dispatch, a trolley comes back to its bay.
Leaving a zone
Something goes out of the area it belongs in, with the zone it went to.
Restricted zone
A tag is somewhere it has no business being.
Staying too long
A tag has been in one zone past the time you allow.
Too many in one place
An area holds more tags than its limit.
Temperature and humidity
A sensor tag reads outside the range set for it, for cold rooms and stock that must stay cool.
Told where people will read it.
An alert is no use on a screen nobody is watching. Rules are set on the platform's notifications page and can send their alerts by WhatsApp or by email, to the people each client chooses.
- Set per site
- Sent by WhatsApp or email
- Checked against live positions
A plan that reads like the floor.
A floor plan in InSight Mesh carries more than an outline. The walls are traced, doors are placed as openings in them, and fixtures such as stairs, lifts, counters, fridges and freezers can be set down where they stand. Zones are then drawn over the result.
People find things faster on a plan that looks like the place they work in, and a zone called Freezer B means more to them than a pair of coordinates.
