Automated protection for your lone workers

  • No missed shift starts
  • The right procedure at the right time
  • No code, right inside VigieControl

Protection starts on its own, and the right alarm procedure applies at the right time. No more missed check-ins that leave a worker unprotected.

Schéma du module Automatisation VigieControl : déclencheur, condition, action

The forgotten check-in is the real weak point

The technology works. The problem sits somewhere else: one skipped step at the start or end of a shift, and the whole protection chain collapses.

The worker forgets to start protection

They arrive on site, get to work, and their protection service is never switched on. They're not covered, and nobody knows until something goes wrong.

They forget to switch it off when leaving

The result: false alarms at the end of the day, no-movement detected in a car or at home, and supervisors who eventually stop paying attention.

The right procedure isn't always live

An alarm at night or on a holiday shouldn't follow the same escalation chain as one during business hours. Reconfiguring that by hand, every day, rarely happens.

It all rests on human memory

As long as protection depends on a manual step, the risk of forgetting stays. Automation removes that point of fragility.

Scenarios that act for you, no code required

The Automation module in VigieControl runs on a simple logic: a trigger, optional conditions, an action. You build your scenarios right in the platform, with no development work. And automation doesn't just remind: it actually starts protection, switches the alarm procedure, and starts or ends a mission.

Trigger, conditions, action

A trigger launches the scenario: an incoming alarm, a recurring calendar, entering or leaving a zone, or detecting a VigiePoint. Optional conditions narrow it to specific lone workers or a schedule window. Then the action runs: start or stop the protection service, switch the alarm procedure, start or end a mission. The available combinations adapt to the trigger you choose.

What you can automate

Three scenarios health & safety managers set up most often.

Automatic shift start and end

When a worker enters the site, protection turns on; when they leave, it stops. No forgotten worker, and no false alarms at the end of the day.

The right procedure for the time of day

Business-hours procedure during the day, a different escalation in the evening and on holidays. The right scenario applies with no reconfiguration.

A mission triggered by the field

Entering a zone or scanning a VigiePoint starts a mission; leaving it closes the mission. Activity tracking no longer depends on a manual step.

Available triggers and actions

The combinations adapt to the trigger you choose. Not everything is freely combinable, and that's exactly what makes each scenario predictable and reliable.

Triggers

  • An incoming alarm
  • A recurring calendar, with dates and exceptions (holidays, time off)
  • Entering or leaving a zone
  • Detecting a VigiePoint (NFC, Bluetooth or radio beacon)

Actions

  • Start or stop the protection service
  • Switch the alarm procedure
  • Start or end a mission

A duty of results, not just of equipment

Le Code du travail impose à l'employeur une obligation de sécurité envers ses salariés isolés. C'est une obligation de résultat : un dispositif acheté mais jamais activé ne protège personne. En fiabilisant l'activation de la protection et en traçant chaque exécution des scénarios calendaires, l'automatisation aide à démontrer que le dispositif est réellement en service.

What is the VigieControl Automation module?

It's a scenario engine built into Neovigie's monitoring platform. It automatically triggers a protection action (shift start, alarm procedure switch, mission start) from an event: an alarm, a schedule, entering or leaving a zone, or detecting a checkpoint.

How does an automation scenario work?

Each scenario follows a sequence: a trigger, optional conditions, then an action. You choose these directly in VigieControl, without writing any code. The available conditions and actions adapt automatically to the trigger you select.

Can protection really start on its own?

Yes. With a zone-entry trigger or a calendar, the protection service turns on automatically and turns off on exit or at the end of the window. On iPhone, an Apple limitation prevents fully automatic start: the worker receives a reminder notification to confirm instead.

Can a different alarm procedure apply depending on the time?

Yes, it's one of the most common uses. A calendar scenario applies the 'business hours' procedure during the day and switches to a different escalation chain in the evening or on holidays, with no manual reconfiguration.

Do you need technical skills to set up automation?

No. Setup happens in the VigieControl admin interface, designed for non-technical users. Neovigie recommends testing each scenario on a small group of lone workers before rolling it out to the whole team.

Which events can trigger a scenario?

An incoming alarm, a recurring calendar (with date handling and exceptions), entering or leaving a geographic zone, and detecting a VigiePoint (NFC, Bluetooth or radio beacon). The available actions depend on the trigger you choose.
