SCAN~LINK Technologies Revenue and Competitors

SCAN~LINK Technologies is a Canadian company that manufactures an RFID based personal detection system that detects people-- rather than objects-- behind mobile equipment. Here’s how it works: The ground workers are tagged with passive RFID tags in their vests and hard hats, etc. and the mobile equipment is outfitted with an antenna/reader. When a worker wearing the tagged apparel walks behind a machine, the operator is then alerted with an audio and visual prompt letting them know that there is a person behind the machine, as opposed to a random object. Additionally, upon detection, an external alarm is activated, alerting the ground worker they are in the danger zone. One of the many advantages of the system is that there are zero false alarms. To detect vehicles and objects – we have a marker tag which is a small, rigid, passive RFID tag that can be applied to anything that you wish to detect. Again, there are no false alarms with this type of system as you are in complete control of what the system will detect. The in-cab display unit that alerts the operator with an audio and visual prompt when a tag has been detected has the intelligence to differentiate between a worker/personal tag and an asset/marker tag. The in-cab display has two different sounding audio prompts – one for a tagged person and one for a tagged object. The smart system also collects and stores granular data in the form of a detection log including variables such as; date, time, location and apparel type which can be allocated to a particular person. The SCAN~LINK HMI applications interface delivers HMI telemetry, geofencing, automated dashboards and event reporting, real-time alerts, and scalable data warehousing to enable input into enterprise AI machine learning solutions.
