Worker and workplace safety solutions
Help guard workplace and employee safety through site monitoring and management of environmental health and safety (EHS), occupancy, contact event tracing and social distancing
Overview
Ensure a safe return to work with analytics, IoT and artificial intelligence
As businesses reopen, they must create environments that facilitate healthy human interactions and sustainable workplace operations. The Worker Insights solution brings together the latest IoT sensor technologies with advanced analytics and edge-enabled applications and services to provide you with near real-time insights of worksites and employees. Use these insights to conduct elevated body temperature monitoring, manage occupancy and no-go zones, and facilitate employee social distancing and contact event tracing — all while ensuring employee privacy.

Workplace safety use cases
Crowd density management
To help prevent the spread of COVID-19 or other airborne viruses, occupancy levels need to remain low. By using insights based on people counted in a camera’s field of view, businesses can monitor the density of people in a specific space.
Elevated body temperature monitoring
Real-time, AI-based video analytics enable thermal or infrared (IR) cameras at entry points of facilities to screen body temperatures and generate alerts when they register high levels — so you can assess and ensure that person is not posing a risk to others.
Face mask detection
For a safe return to work and adherence to relevant health guidelines, businesses must be able to determine whether individuals are wearing their face masks properly. Real-time, AI-based video analytics at edge devices like optical cameras can provide face mask detection.
Social distancing scoring
Implementing strategically defined spacing helps reduce the risk of transmitting airborne viruses, and edge-enabled technology can help keep those spaces safe as more people occupy them.
