Reactec Release Notification - January 2025

Reactec continue their roadmap of system improvements and enhancement. Our latest release to the Reactec Analytics software and device firmware has the following improvements which we believe may be of benefit to you.

Your devices will need to upgrade to following versions of firmware:

  • Gateway – Firmware v2.2.7
  • Watch – Firmware v1.5.10
  • Beacon – Firmware v1.2.13

R-Link Worker Messaging:

We’re delighted to release worker messaging on the R-Link smart watch to all our existing clients.

The new functionality can enable you to send action-orientated messages to workers located across job sites, and at no additional cost.

Custom messages can be sent by Reactec Analytics users and workers can acknowledge the information with a button press on R-Link.

Here are examples where R-Link’s custom messaging can be used:

  • Health, safety and well-being reminders
  • Maintenance requests and work order scheduling
  • Machine status notifications and malfunction alerts

R-Link’s worker messaging can be used for dispersed teams operating in hands-on environments, when other forms of communication, like mobile phones, are prohibited.

Safe Zone Beacons:

Customers can now also benefit from a Safe Zone Beacon when using R-Link's proximity warning system. A Safe Zone Beacon is installed in an area where workers are protected from moving hazards because of physical barriers or the area's location.

Safe Zone Beacons fully automate the “granting access for close working” feature on R-Link. Workers do not receive alerts while in the Safe Zone and this alleviates the issue of “alarm fatigue” caused by unnecessary alerts.

Before deploying any equipment after this upgrade release, it is important that you check that the hardware has updated correctly. If you require any support in ensuring that this is the case, please feel free to contact us either via phone +44 (0)131 221 0922 or email helpdesk@reactec.com
