A badge on a worker and a tag on an asset are the same problem seen twice. Faststream builds wearable tracking — badges, wristbands and rugged asset tags, with the gateways and platform behind them — so a site can see where its people and its equipment are, and be told the moment something is wrong.
A form factor nobody will wear is a system nobody deploys. The device is chosen for the wrist, the lanyard or the asset it rides on — and for the shift length it has to survive.
The range spans an ID badge, a wristband, a clip-on beacon and a rugged asset tag, each on a low-power Bluetooth link with an optional UWB or cellular variant where the accuracy or the coverage demands it. Reporting is event-driven with a heartbeat, so a device lasts a contract term rather than a shift, and the tag stays cheap because the intelligence sits in the gateway and the platform, not on the worker.
The same infrastructure carries assets and people. A pallet, a tool crib, a wheelchair or a generator takes a tag from the same family and appears on the same map — which is the point: one deployment, one platform, not a separate system for every thing that moves.
A live map that no one watches is not a control. The platform is built to stay quiet until an exception — a breach, a fall, a missing tag — and then to reach the person who can act, while everything else is recorded for the report nobody wants to reconstruct later.
People and assets share one view, positions arrive from BLE, Bluetooth AoA or UWB depending on the accuracy the site needs, and the whole thing exposes its data to the systems that already run the operation — warehouse and manufacturing execution, access control, safety and business intelligence — rather than asking anyone to watch another dashboard.
Report its location, raise man-down and SOS, respect geofences, and carry basic telemetry such as battery and motion. The device is deliberately simple; the safety rules and the map live on the platform where they can be changed without touching what people wear.
By the same anchors used for asset tracking — BLE for zone-level, Bluetooth AoA or UWB where a sub-metre position is needed. The wearable is a tag on the same infrastructure, not a separate system.
A contract term, not a shift, when it is specified correctly. Event-driven reporting with a heartbeat, rather than a fixed interval, is what decides battery life — a design decision, not a setting.
It is built for consented, policy-bound use — safety, muster and asset location — and what it reports, to whom, and for how long is a configuration and a policy question, settled before deployment rather than after.
Tell us who and what has to be seen, and what has to trigger an alarm. We will pick the form factor, the link and the platform around it.
