Panic Buttons for Utilities

Give staff a direct way to raise the alarm.

Panic buttons for utility field crews. AtlasNXT by Track24 provides Panic Alerts through the app and compatible satellite devices for utility field teams who need to bring a concern to the monitoring team's attention. Connect the person raising the alarm with the operator responsible for making contact and coordinating the response.

When a vehicle gets stuck on a washed-out track

During an inspection of a remote water installation near Lodwar, Kenya, a utility technician's vehicle gets stuck on a washed-out track and they raise a Panic Alert. The duty operator checks the alert and available position information, reaches the technician through the agreed channels, and coordinates recovery with the service supervisor. Contact attempts, confirmed updates, and outstanding actions stay clear for the next duty colleague.

Raise an alert from the app or a satellite device
Staff can raise a Panic Alert from the app or a compatible satellite device. Operators receive the alert in the same platform they use for location awareness and communication, bringing the request for help and the response together.
Bring alerts from across the network into one place
Panic Alerts from the app and compatible satellite devices reach the control room from depots, street works, and remote installations. The control room operator can attempt contact and coordinate local support with the field supervisor.
Give the operator the next response steps
Bring the alert, available location, and conversation together for the operator. Standard Operating Procedures guide the response steps, while Incident Management keeps assigned tasks and updates visible to the wider team.

How do Panic Alerts connect to our response procedures?

Link Standard Operating Procedures categories to Panic Alerts so operators can work through the relevant steps alongside the conversation and available location information. Incident Management supports assigned tasks and a shared record when the response involves several colleagues.

Can staff raise Panic Alerts from satellite devices?

Yes. Staff can raise Panic Alerts from compatible satellite devices as well as the app. AtlasNXT is compatible with over 3,000 satellite devices. Request the compatible devices list to check your equipment and its supported alert functions.
