Connecting Safety with IIoT Technology

Seoul – August 17, 2021 – People & Technology, a leading provider of IoT and AI data services across various industries, announced plans today to develop a mobile service for worker safety management. The new IndoorPlus+ SmartSafety platform aims to prevent accidents and enable rapid responses in hazardous workplaces such as factories and construction sites. The announcement detailed the platform’s features and outlined the broader vision for this industrial safety management service.

Key Features of the Industrial Safety Management Mobile Service

1. Worker Biometric and Location Monitoring

The system monitors workers’ real-time locations to minimize rescue response times during accidents. It continuously tracks health indicators such as heart rate and body temperature, allowing immediate intervention if abnormalities are detected.

2. Attendance and Location Tracking

The platform provides real-time attendance management and tracks which section of the worksite each worker is currently located in.

3. Task and Worker Management

The app facilitates task registration and monitoring, enabling safety and workflow managers to oversee worker assignments, task progress, and break schedules at a glance.

4. Emergency Alerts

Workers can send SOS alerts through the app, notifying managers of their location for swift action in emergencies.

5. Centralized Management for Multiple Worksites

Designed for clients managing multiple worksites, the service allows for real-time monitoring of workers by site, floor, or task zone. It consolidates safety and task management across multiple locations into a single mobile interface.

6. Hybrid Smartphone-Based Solution

By replacing traditional signal collection hardware (e.g., scanners, gateways) with smartphones, the system significantly reduces installation costs and setup time. To enhance positioning accuracy, attachable location beacons can be installed in work areas.

Unique Aspects of the Service

The new service differentiates itself from existing worker safety solutions in several ways:

• Biometric Data Monitoring: The system provides continuous real-time monitoring of workers’ health, a model adapted from smart hospital applications and tailored for industrial environments.
• Smartphone-Driven Deployment: The app is designed for easy download and use on standard smartphones, eliminating the need for additional hardware purchases like scanners or tablets.
• Innovative Network Architecture: The hybrid system combines smartphone-based signal collection with location beacon technology to enhance positioning precision without requiring extensive hardware installations.

Advantages for Clients

The service lowers entry barriers by reducing costs and complexity, making it accessible for organizations aiming to implement safety management solutions. Its scalability and interoperability allow seamless integration with other IoT services for data analysis and workplace optimization.

Planned Rollout and Future Impact

People & Technology plans to offer this mobile service to large-scale industrial sites requiring worker safety management. Once deployed, this biometric data-driven safety solution is expected to revolutionize worker safety management, marking the beginning of a new chapter in industrial safety services.
