Enterprises with heavy industrialized manufacturing facilities seeks to automate and accelerate their industrial operations but need to ensure their workforce safety as automation creates new hazardous environments that impact worker’s safety. Proactively locating and tracking their workforce for their safety & protection and well-being is paramount to the operations managers who are seeking real-time information on where their workforce resides in the facility and are being at risk of injuries due to various hazards associated with daily interactions with heavy machine, cranes, co-bots, and potentially autonomous mobile robotics. It is also paramount for operations manager to proactively validate if workers are adhering to all safety standards laid by the organization like PPE kits, pandemic related social distancing measures, restrictive movements, worker stress and overall well-being. Despite various safety procedures & trainings provided to the workforce, working in congested & complex industrial environment with production equipment presents enormous safety challenges despite best laid out safety procedures.
These operations managers are seeking means to always know the location of their workforce especially in dense & congested environment and to identify when a worker may enter a hazardous work-zone whereby proactive actions can be immediately deployed to protect this worker thereby preventing any costly incidents as well as any high-risks behaviors.
