After an initial steady or decreasing phase in many European countries, since late July COVID-19 cases have begun to rise again at different paces among countries and have awakened new worries. Unfortunately, but as expected, many cases were recorded in workplaces, especially in all types of industrial plants (from logistics to food).
Workplaces often are indoor spaces where people spend lots of time together and where distance cannot always be ensured (even if face masks are used), especially when working or eating together. The issues manufacturing plants are facing are therefore three:
- how to ensure social distancing?
- how to be able to reduce the impact of a COVID-19 case with contact tracing activities?
- how to measure risk and prevent potential outbreaks inside the factory?
At Thinkinside, we have applied our deep know-how in Location Intelligence to meet these new needs and new challenges faced by our customers in the manufacturing sector and to actively support them, thanks to new functionalities, in complying with social distancing regulations
By locating and tracking workers through wearable devices (e.g. TAGs, wrist bracelets, badges), ThinkIN:
- monitors and controls that physical distance is respected in every daily operation of the factory;
- controls accesses to common areas (e.g. coffee rooms);
- in case of a confirmed COVID-19 positive case, provides contact tracing functionality to identify potentially exposed workers together with potentially contaminated areas;
- proactively supports risk management strategies.
