Innovative Features of MODE's BizStack: Enhancing Workplace Safety and Efficiency

Innovating Workplace Safety with MODE's BizStack Features

MODE, Inc., a Silicon Valley startup revolutionizing the flow of work through its IoT-based platform, BizStack, has officially announced the introduction of two cutting-edge features: the Geofence Function and the Area Drawing Tool. Slated for release on April 15, 2025, these innovations aim to significantly improve safety and operational efficiency across various work environments by seamlessly integrating generative AI technology with IoT capabilities.

Background of the Innovations

Since November 2024, MODE has provided GPS-based position management for work sites through BizStack, enabling organizations to keep track of assets and personnel efficiently. The recent enhancements introduce geofencing capabilities, allowing users to easily manage specific areas within their operational landscape. The Area Drawing Tool enhances usability, offering an intuitive interface that enables users to visualize safety zones directly onto digital maps, much like hand drawing.

Detailed Overview of New Features

Geofence Function

The geofence function allows users to create virtual zones on the BizStack maps. When GPS devices enter or exit these areas, an automated notification is triggered, enhancing security and real-time awareness in the workplace. The notifications can be sent via email or through the BizStack Assistant chat feature, ensuring immediate communication.

Some key use cases for this include:

- Detection of unauthorized entry into hazardous zones.
- Notifications about personnel exiting designated work areas.
- Monitoring stay durations for compliance and reporting.

Area Drawing Tool

In the BizStack dashboard, users can now draw custom-shaped zones using simple mouse controls. The drawn area can be immediately utilized as a geofence, accommodating a diverse range of work site needs without requiring complex coordinates.

- Users can easily define zones based on specific needs.
- The tool allows real-time management through MODE's unique entity data structure, streamlining zone handling.

Supported Devices

Currently, these innovative features are compatible with Safie Pocket2 Plus GPS devices, with plans for expanding compatibility with additional GPS systems in the future.

Use Cases in Real-World Scenarios

Construction Sites: Immediate Hazard Zone Detection

In construction environments, it's crucial to identify unauthorized access to dangerous areas where heavy machinery operates or where falling debris is a risk. Using BizStack's geofence feature, hazardous zones can be easily outlined on a digital map. When a worker, equipped with a GPS device like Safie Pocket2 Plus, trespasses into a defined hazardous area, an immediate alert is generated via chat or email notifications.

Railway Maintenance: Night Operations Management

Nighttime railway maintenance poses unique challenges due to limited operational hours and the necessity for safe work areas. By employing the area drawing tool, teams can pre-define safe working zones on the map and implement geofencing. If a worker strays from the designated area, alerts will be dispatched, ensuring compliance and safety. Post-operation reports detailing worker locations and stay durations will also enhance record-keeping.
