At Force55, safety and operational efficiency are at the core of every solution we deliver. The F55 Personnel Tracking System (PTS) Fob is a powerful example of this commitment, setting new standards in offshore personnel tracking and situational awareness.
Recent in-field testing of the F55 PTS Fob has confirmed exceptional performance, demonstrating reliable ranges of up to 1.3 km from the nearest field access point (AP). Given that most wind farms are designed with tower-to-tower distances of no more than 1,000 metres — and often closer to 600 metres — this range provides robust redundancy and ensures full site coverage, even in the most challenging offshore environments.
The F55 PTS Fob is far more than just a location tracker. It offers live GPS positioning, allowing operators to maintain continuous, real-time visibility of every individual on site. Integrated bio-sensor applications, developed in line with RR446 guidelines, enable real-time health and emergency status monitoring. This means that teams can react immediately to any unexpected situation, dramatically improving overall safety and response times.
In addition, the fob supports attributed personal safety details that can be directly linked to each worker’s HR records, including vital information such as medical certification status and compliance data. Full WINDA integration ensures that personnel certifications are always up to date and easily accessible, simplifying compliance management and reducing administrative burden.
Unlike traditional systems that only cover fixed assets, the F55 PTS Fob offers full mobile coverage, including tracking positions in the water, significantly enhancing search and rescue coordination capabilities. This all-encompassing visibility empowers operators to make informed decisions quickly, keeping crews safer and operations running smoothly.
Force55’s F55 PTS Fob is the future of offshore personnel safety — an advanced, reliable, and integrated solution designed to meet the evolving demands of offshore wind farms and critical marine infrastructure projects.
