The company supports compliance with various fire safety standards and regulations while improving operational efficiency in facilities management and emergency response.
Products and Services
Locatrix offers a suite of products designed to streamline compliance, safety, and emergency management, primarily through its two flagship software platforms: PlanStudioŽ and PlanSafeŽ.
PlanStudioŽ: Indoor Mapping and Digital Twin Creation
PlanStudio is the company's powerful input tool and full drafting suite, designed to automate and accelerate the creation of accurate, digital floor plans.
- Spatially Accurate Drafting: The software allows users to draft, edit, and view spatially accurate floor plans. Its patented technology is used to ingest existing 2D floor plans or even a photo of an existing diagram and instantly scale it to the real-world size and location (geotagging), converting it into a dynamic, data-rich digital twin.
- Critical Data Capture: It facilitates the easy capture and tracking of critical building information and assets, including fire safety installations, security systems, and emergency equipment, which are represented by a library of icons.
- Evacuation Diagram Automation: A key feature is the push-button automation for generating compliant evacuation signage. This allows professionals to create and customize a wide range of layouts and templates to meet required Australian and international standards, dramatically increasing efficiency.
- Cloud Repository: PlanStudio includes a secure online cloud repository for automatic upload and version control of all building plans and associated data.
PlanSafeŽ: Site Safety Management and Training
PlanSafe is a comprehensive, online Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application focused on site safety management, emergency preparedness, and compliance training.
- Online Compliance Training: The platform is a training software designed to streamline the process of creating and managing various types of inductions and safety training. It offers role- and site-specific training modules, allowing employees to complete necessary safety induction and emergency management programs online, which is ideal for businesses with multiple sites or a large, dispersed workforce.
- Site Safety Management: It helps building managers gain control of their building data and manage compliance across multiple buildings. It provides a dashboard to monitor learner outcomes and access critical records.
- Emergency Preparedness: PlanSafe supports the development of comprehensive fire evacuation plans and is designed to meet the requirements of fire safety reforms. It also links training records to roles and buildings for site-specific compliance reporting.
- Asset Visualization and Management: The platform enables users to visualize assets within the context of the digital floor plans, supporting data-driven decisions for facilities and asset management.
Extended Use Cases and Applications
Beyond its foundational fire and life safety solutions, the Locatrix geospatial data platform enables numerous other location-based applications leveraging the single source of indoor spatial data.
- Emergency Services Platform: The system is engineered to deliver critical, geospatially accurate building information directly to first responders (emergency services) in real-time to improve safety preparedness and response times.
- Indoor Mapping and Wayfinding: The technology supports wayfinding systems for visitors and staff, accessible routing, and overall indoor spatial mapping for improved customer and employee experience.
- Building Information Management: The digital twins created by Locatrix integrate with other location-based systems and processes, including Building Information Modeling (BIM), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), security, and occupancy planning.
- Workforce Analytics: The platform also supports applications like workforce planning and asset tracking by providing a spatial context for operational data.
In summary, Locatrix operates at the intersection of public safety and spatial technology, providing the digital infrastructure for managing emergency preparedness, compliance, and complex indoor environments globally.
