Precise indoor positioning at Rhein Kraftwerk Wyhlen — together with Hard & SoftWerk

At the Wyhlen hydroelectric power plant, Naturenergie Hochrhein AG every day for clean energy — and we at Uepaawere allowed to help make processes even more secure. Together with our partner Hard & SoftWerk GmbHDo we have a BLE-based indoor tracking implemented, which together with the Uepaa app provides precise positions within the power plant.

The challenge: safety when working alone

Hydroelectric power plants such as Wyhlen are complex plants with work environments inside dams and transformer buildings that are often invisible. Just getting there with ascents and descents provides enough adrenaline. For employees who Traveling alone , it is crucial that help comes quickly in an emergency.

With Uepaa's indoor tracking system, lone workers can be located very precisely in the event of an alarm. Too high a beacon density can affect accuracy, so we rely on a optimized and specifically placed beacon structureto ensure maximum precision. Neuralgic areas such as ascents and descents with the potential for slipping are particularly important.

Working together for success

Implementation was carried out in close cooperation with Hard & SoftWerk GmbH, who have managed both the hardware and the integration into the existing infrastructure. that Illuminate on site, the suitable assembly And the detailed documentation Keep maintenance costs low and ensure optimal positioning with the Uepaa app.

The benefits of Uepaa for natural energy

Thanks to the Uepaa solution, natural energy benefits from several key advantages:

• Dead man function: Protection of solo work in accordance with SUVA-44094 and DGUV
• 1st responder function: Direct camera assistance alarm in the power plant
• 24/7 emergency call center: International alarm point, ideal for border areas
• Low maintenance beacon suite: Cloud management software and smartphone app

conclusion

The Rhein power plant in Wyhlen shows: Uepaa's indoor positioning significantly increases safety when working alone. With an optimized beacon structure from our partner, even a complex industrial environment is precisely monitored — for greater security every step of the way.
