The Red Sea Development Company is implementing an extensive IoT safety solution for its construction workforce in Saudi Arabia

Bouygues Construction Matériel connects over 20 000 pieces of equipment in real time Press Info / Customer Testimony, March 9th 2021, Paris, France Bouygues Construction Matériel, offshoot of one of the biggest global construction groups Bouygues Construction, is implementing an innovative asset tracking solution for Smart Construction, offered by Omniscient, a startup incubated by Bouygues SA. This solution is connecting twenty thousand pieces of equipment for remote real-time management and optimization, using IoT network from Bouygues Telecom, the expertise of Objenious and intelligent sensors from Actility. In charge of managing the group’s entire fleet of equipment, Bouygues Construction Matériel must ensure that each site is equipped with compliant equipment, in good working order, and that this is made available on time; as there are dozens of thousands of pieces of equipment to maintain and distribute every day on all construction sites in France. To solve this problem, Omniscient has designed a turnkey solution for Bouygues Construction Matériel, using the multi-technology trackers from Abeeway, specializing in ultra-low power geolocation solutions, a subsidiary of the French company Actility, global provider of IoT connectivity solutions, and using the expertise of Objenious by Bouygues Telecom for connectivity, and using Omniscient’s site operations optimization platform for data collection and analysis. Bouygues 4 pictures with abeeway tracker IoT at the service of equipment fleet monitoring Bouygues Construction Matériel is embarking on the deployment of a major IoT project supported by the operations and formwork departments. Omniscient’s solution is being deployed on its entire French fleet of bungalows and consoles, on the main components of the tower cranes and on the new B20 formwork. This large-scale project involves around a hundred employees, assigned to monitoring the equipment on more than a thousand sites, spread over 5 technical bases. This represents the installation of Abeeway sensors on more than 20,000 pieces of equipment and millions of GPS data to be processed by Omniscient. In order to adapt to the constraints of volume, geographical perimeter and indoor or outdoor location, Omniscient has turned to a trusted partner: Actility & Abeeway, in charge of providing flexible geolocation sensors, optimized for LoRaWAN®. Abeeway devices work perfectly outdoors as well as indoors due to their multi-technology geolocation system, integrating GPS, Low-power GPS (patented), WiFi Sniffing and Bluetooth Low Energy. These sensors are offering years of battery life, intelligently configured multimodal behavior and advanced location resolution algorithms. Abeeway trackers provide geolocation intelligence for a wide range of use cases, in construction, industry or the supply chain. Objenious, for the support and IoT expertise. Thanks to LoRa technology, it enables to connect equipment even in isolated and difficult environments. This technology offers many advantages : several years energy autonomy, bidirectional communications and a strong capacity of penetration inside buildings and deep basements. Having a strong expertise in the construction industry, Omniscient has developed its platform to help the entire construction site ecosystem gain in productivity. Open to many technologies, Omniscient’s platform allows the digital management of an entire fleet, from electro-portable to multi-ton cranes. With one click, the fleet manager can navigate on a virtual map and view, in real time, the location and tracking sheet of each piece of equipment, including, among other things, the site configuration of the equipment, as well as links to the quality control sheets. The in-house algorithms designed by this ConstrucTech start-up take the analysis one step further. The information sent by Abeeway’s sensors allows Omniscient to calculate performance indicators, dedicated to fleet management, equipment turnover and utilization rates, inventory by technical base, inventory by worksite and number of billable days. One of the unique major innovations of the solution is that, combining various geolocation technologies, it allows to use the same devices for big and small objects and in all kind of construction environments, instead of investing in different devices for each use case. “Abeeway technology is adaptive as it can use Wi-Fi in dense urban environment, GPS in the countryside, and BLE indoors, to scan the environment and detect other BLE devices on some small equipment, for example with a tracker placed in a toolbox and BLE tags on each tool” added Stéphane Sisse, Global Geolocation Services Manager at Abeeway. Leveraging geolocation data to optimize the management of millions of euros of equipment Bouygues Construction Matériel’s commitment to more digitalized operations is bringing significant benefits.  By adopting this new data-based approach, the equipment division of the construction giant is projecting direct annual savings of 5 to 10% on maintenance and fleet management and a ROI of this technological solution over 3 years. These results come from savings generated by the following items: Easier billing process: all information related to the entry/exit of equipment or the utilization rate is historically recorded on all worksites, which makes it possible to bill quicker and more easily Better allocation of resources:the identification of unused equipment on worksites makes it possible to mobilize it, avoiding external rentals Precise and reliable monitoring of equipment life cycle:prioritization of equipment reaching end of life cycle, to avoid upgrade costs and to guarantee regular maintenance of equipment for a better life cycle Reduction of inventory costs: a better view of the global inventory allows to minimize inventory per depot Data-driven real-time management:decisions are made quickly, information is at hand and up to date, freeing up time for operational staff to perform value-added tasks Proximity Detection & Contact Tracing for Covid-19 solution by Actility and Abeeway. Construction and IoT: a huge potential for innovation The partnership between the three companies is not limited to fleet management, with very good prospects in construction: measuring machine productivity, optimizing travel, worker safety, etc. IoT technologies are at the heart of the connected worksite and offer unprecedented prospects for efficiency gains.  In particular, Abeeway sensors in badge format can accelerate the adoption of social distancing through alerting, creating specific work zones or areas of limited density monitored in real time by the downstream system, warning workers when they enter forbidden areas or when occupancy density is too high. “Through this collaboration, I wanted …

WiFi & LoRaWAN combination to achieve greatness Paris, 8 December 2020  During the past month of November, the LoRa Alliance brought out a new White Paper on Wi-Fi & LoRaWAN Trials, summing up use cases across regions which combine these two technologies, to shed light on the great amount of disruptive use cases both Wi-Fi and LoRaWAN connectivity have allowed to develop during the past years, giving new ideas to existing market players who have deployed these technologies, and also to inspire Network Operators, Enterprises or Communities, who have deployed either Wi-Fi or LoRaWAN networks, to consider extending their offerings by deploying other complementary technology. Until not long ago, the options for radio connectivity where scarce and focused mainly on cellular connectivity, Wi-Fi, or customized networks. It has not been until recently that companies have been able to take advantage of licensed and license-exempt spectrums to include cellular IoT, private LTE, private 5G, Wi-fi and Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) IoT networks such as LoRaWAN, being Wi-Fi and LoRaWAN the most used technologies in these fields. Getting to choose the correct multi-radio strategy is becoming more important each time to succeed in a connected world and selecting the wrong coverage can have fatal effects on the company’s strategy, as it can increase costs and deteriorate security. Luckily, both Wi-Fi and LoRaWAN are growing at a fast pace and are enabling innovative business models which support a vast array of use cases in the fields of Smart Cities, Smart Venues, Smart Transportation and Smart Homes, such as metering, predictive solutions, asset tracking and monitoring, among others. This gives the development of the Wi-Fi & LoRaWAN Trials white paper an even more impactful meaning, as the combined work of 11 different global companies, from both Alliances and from all regions, these being Boingo Wireless, Charter Communications, Cisco, Kerlink, Lacuna Space, Nesten, Simplycity, Skyhook, Semtech Actility and Abeeway, gives an even more vast intake on these technologies and offers meaningful and insightful content for readers to really get to understand the power these technologies can have when applied to growing companies.  Abeeway has taken part in the sharing of these use cases by explaining in-depth The Indoor & Outdoor Asset Tracking for Automotive Industry. This solution was created in collaboration with Volvo, HERE Technologies and Actility to help track valuable assets at the Volvo Trucks factory in France. At this plant, hundreds of racks are used to carry engines along the production chain, which are spread over 25.000 sq. meters. These racks can easily get lost, generating blocks in the entire production chain, creating the need for a connected tracking solution. This problem was solved by covering this wide space through the combination of Wi-Fi fingerprinting technology and an industrial grade LoRaWAN network. The solution worked by allowing our Abeeway low-power consumption Industrial Trackers to collect Wi-Fi AP information – after covering the 25.000 sq of the plant with 60 Wi-Fi Aps – and relaying the measurements over LoRaWAN technology, due to Actility’s ThingPark, for accurate positioning determined by HERE. ThingPark optimized LoRaWAN controller, leverages macro-diversity to provide reliable communication through-out the factory with few gateways and BLE beacons on our Abeeway trackers which complement the location infrastructure at strategic, hard to-get-to areas and even through the hardest conditions, like when the racks go through the painting process at more than 70C.  The solution managed to optimize the rapid roll throughout the production process, while giving accurate indoor location in a 35,000 sq. m. facility and standing the harsh conditions created at some of the production line points.  This is only one of the many use cases addressed on this white paper, and just one more example of why Wi-Fi & LoRaWAN are two of the most adopted license-exempt technologies. Together they address a large proportion of IoT use cases with their approach for disrupting private-public business models and enabling participation in 5G success.

Orange Business Services implements a cutting-edge COVID safety solution in Singapore with Actility & Abeeway Orange Business Services Singapore has implemented their COVID Safety Distancing Solution. An extremely easy to set-up turnkey system for enterprises, which helps to keep employees safe from COVID-19 threats by using our Abeeway Micro Trackers, connected through LoRaWAN and with a dedicated app, also combined with Thermal & Mask Scanning techniques.  Orange Business Services Singapore has implemented their COVID Safety Distancing Solution. An extremely easy to set-up turnkey system for enterprises, which helps to keep employees safe from COVID-19 threats by using our Abeeway Micro Trackers, connected through LoRaWAN and with a dedicated app, also combined with Thermal & Mask Scanning techniques.  The system, based on Actility’s Proximity Detection & Contact Tracing Solution, alerts employees who don’t comply with the COVID-19 measures dictated by the company, allowing to detect people with atypical temperature measurement trying to enter the workspace facilities, employees not respecting social distancing between each other, or crowds exceeding the number of people allowed in each area of the workspace.  The set-up of this system is exceptionally easy and just requires a temperature recognition system before entering the workspace and the creation of an employee list including full names, employer IDs and a recent photo (to ensure facial recognition). If an employee registers a higher than normal temperature reading, an alert containing the details of the employee will be sent to the system manager and the facility manager allowing them to take immediate actions.  Due to the difficulty of keeping full time social distance, the system also includes a safety social distancing solution which consists on alerting employees via audio and visual cues if they were to unconsciously get too close to their coworkers. This solution works through Smart Badges assigned to each worker. These devices, linked to the individual’s profile have been designed by Abeeway, Actility’s subsidiary specialized in low-power geolocation, and work through portable multi-mode trackers with embedded sensors which combine multiple geolocation technologies to offer accurate and continuous outdoor and indoor geolocation and alert workers when they are not complying with the established social distance guidelines. The administrator will also be able to configure the alert notification system, including who and how to alert. The solution will also log these incidents into the system, to keep a record of date, time and location of when the encounter happened.   Guests can easily be invited to the office, it is simply required to send them a link via email before the meeting date, allowing them to pre-register. Once they arrive to the office, their temperature will be taken and they will be assigned a Smart Badge linked to their profile while they are within the premises, being able to reprogram the badge when the guest has left the office.  This safety distancing solution also has a unique feature which allows facility managers to set crowd density for enclosed specific areas. Once that maximum number of people is reached the Smart Badges will automatically trigger alerts to everyone within that specific facility. A very useful feature for office canteens, meeting rooms, demo spaces and showrooms where crowds can gather very quickly.  Orange Business Services Singapore’s COVID Safety Distancing Solution has improved enormously the safety in their offices due to this solution and now offers contact tracers and managers a comprehensive 360-degree view to help them make more informed decisions on the necessary actions to take for different employees based on their actual interaction and exposure risks.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8ww9RP97c4&feature=emb_err_woyt Contact us today to find out the best solutions for your industry.

How LoRaWAN® enables back-tracing and helps businesses protect their workers from COVID-19 threats During the current times and as the second wave of Covid-19 is ramping-up, we must take severe protection measures to care for ourselves and the people around us. This not only applies to our family members and friends, but also to those who we work with.  Workers are an organization’s most valuable asset; therefore, proximity policies must be enforced in enterprises in order to help prevent Coronavirus from spreading and comply with mandatory safety measures. This is crucial to keep a healthy work environment and to avoid costly temporary shutdowns. This issue is what led Actility to put its IoT expertise in geolocation and network management to work to create a digital Proximity Detection & Contact Tracing Solution.  Multifunctional tool for workers in various industries Covid-19 sanitary policies focus on two main goals: enforcement of distancing policies, and rapid and immediate identification of contamination clusters in case of confirmed infection.  Wearable devices, conveniently packaged as ID Badge holders have been designed to help ensure compliance with social stance guidelines while on a job site or at a workplace, where essential work might need to continue despite the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic, but where it can also be tricky to maintain a proper distance between workers without a reminder system.  When the Smart Badge records two or more people exceeding the safety limit, the badge will warn the worker by two levels of audible feedback (warning and immediate danger) or through a visual alarm.  The badges are connected via LPWAN network to a back-end sanitary policy management application which generates statistics that help identify areas where close contacts occur – e.g. corridors – and help in the continuous improvement of office or factory floor optimization. The badges implement edge processing considering both distance and time, so workers will be warned, and contact registered even if they stay within 5 or 6 feet, but for too long.  This compliance solution protects workers by ensuring secure social distancing, but it is also protecting the continuity of corporate operations and – by avoiding costly full shutdowns- provides instant RoI. Temporary business shutdowns are necessary when companies are not able to trace contacts, so for precaution operations need to stop until each worker has been tested and provided with negative results, which tends to extend to a full week for each case and causes significant losses as well as unpredictable delivery delays. Digital contact tracing is achieved by connected badges that report every contact to a central sanitary policy management system, where they are saved for 2 weeks. When a Coronavirus infection is detected, instant back-tracing allows to identify only those workers who have been in close contact with the infected person and limit testing to this cluster only, which minimizes disruption to operations. In addition, several studies have shown that rapid identification of a cluster is essential to prevent propagation, as anyone in the cluster may also start to propagate the virus. With instant back-tracing, propagation gets under control even with a 60% to 70% success rate in effectively isolating the subject contacts. In order to limit the number of potential contacts, the solution also supports zoning policies. This may be organized as distinct work zones, helping workers remain within their assigned area by audio notification, or by organizing shifts. The system can optionally inform management if workers repeatedly violate such zoning policies.  Compliance & enforcement of maximum density policies can also be implemented through this solution by audio warning when the maximum density of workers is reached in a specific shared area. The solution is also capable of optimizing sanitation of shared assets by analyzing usage in real-time and ensuring compliance while triggering cleaning only when needed. How does LoRaWAN® technology make it possible? LoRaWAN® is the Low-Power Wide Area Network (LP-WAN) technology enabling this digital sanitary policy enforcement and traceability solution.  LoRaWAN® is a global communication standard developed by the LoRa Alliance. It allows long-range wireless communication at a low data rate, reducing power and cost for transmission, and targeting key IoT requirements such as bi-directional communication, end-to-end security, mobility, and localization services.  In the context of this use case, the key features of LoRaWAN® are its support for macro-diversity, i.e. within a building all antennas, indoor and outdoor, collaborate to create seamless coverage even for mobile assets. Unlike mesh networks that need to self-optimize for a given asset location and therefore cannot connect mobile devices, the LoRaWAN® Badges work indoors and outdoors, anywhere in the facilities. The Actility ThingPark network server leverages the link quality information received from all gateways to dynamically select the antennas used and optimize indoor & outdoor radio quality.  If additional antennas need to be installed to ensure full coverage of underground and other hard to reach areas, no configuration or radio planning is needed, the ThingPark platform automatically reorganizes the network to leverage all available antennas and increase coverage and capacity. This makes LoRaWAN® the ideal technology for proximity and contacts back-tracing solutions, as it is easy to install and configure, requires few gateways due to long-range and excellent indoor penetration of the sub-GHz spectrum scales easily, and works indoor & outdoor for fixed and mobile devices. While Covid-19 is the immediate priority and likely to remain so during H1 2021, companies are also mindful that any investment needs to be preserved after COVID. LoRaWAN® is an open technology that thousands of devices already available in the ecosystem and the same LPWAN network can be leveraged for sub-metering, predictive maintenance, and hundreds of other use cases. Likewise, the Smart Badge offers future-proof features that cover worker safety (evacuation monitoring, man-down, lone worker SoS), security (visitor tracking, geofencing of danger zones), and can be complemented with other LoRaWAN trackers with form factors optimized for asset & tool tracking. What about privacy?  LoRaWAN® is the Low-Power Wide Area Network (LP-WAN) technology enabling this digital sanitary policy enforcement and traceability solution.  LoRaWAN® is a global communication standard developed by the LoRa Alliance.

Volvo Group implements an IoT tracking solution in its trucks plant, using Actility LoRaWAN GPS trackers and network management. Press Release, Paris, September 7th  Volvo Group has implemented a new generation IoT tracking solution in its Trucks plant located in Blainville (in the north of France) to track and locate trucks during the production and customization process. This innovative solution has significantly improved the supply chain operations of the factory.  The solution is based on a LoRaWAN® private network deployed and managed using the ThingPark™ IoT Platform from Actility,  world leader in Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWAN) industrial-grade connectivity solutions for the Internet of Things, and using tracking devices from Abeeway, its subsidiary specialized in low-power geolocation.   Watch the testimonial video: “How Volvo factory is locating trucks using LoRaWAN GPS trackers”.  “Beyond the technical challenge, I am really proud of the deployed solution because operators have adopted it at 100% from day 1. We have worked hard to integrate this innovation in the existing processes and in the legacy factory applications. Operators adoption is a key success factor to implement innovative solutions in a factory”  says Julien Bertolini, IoT expert at Volvo. Multiplying benefits with LoRaWAN®      Volvo Group is one of the world’s largest truck manufacturers and includes several brands such as Volvo Trucks, Renault Trucks, UD Trucks and Mack Trucks. Its Blainville plant realized that workers were wasting hours of their time everyday looking for vehicles on the huge parking areas of the factory, having to track between 5000 and 6000 vehicles in a plant which produces 72 vehicles and assembles over 230 cabs daily for the entire Renault Trucks and the medium duty Volvo Trucks ranges. Considering that trucks can be moved several times during the day and that the location of each truck was done manually on paper, the operations were significantly slowed down.  After testing a dozen of available solutions and devices, Volvo chose to solve this problem by placing Abeeway’s GPS Industrial Trackers inside every truck going through the assembly line. Each time a truck moves or stops, the movement is tracked, and the position is sent to Actility’s ThingPark LoRaWAN Network Server using LoRaWAN® , which is a global communication standard and one of the leading wireless networks technologies designed to allow long-range communication at a low data rate, reducing power and cost of transmission, and targeting key IoT requirements such as bi-directional communication, end-to-end security, mobility and localization services.  “Within the framework of this project we looked for all possible solutions. With the project team we tested multiple devices and the solution that seemed the most interesting to implement was the solution that uses Abeeway trackers, since we were able to work with them and they offered us the best precision. It is very clear that what we are interested in being able to track our vehicles with maximum precision to avoid wasting too much time searching for them, so the Abeeway tracking solution was the most efficient for us” says Pascal Cury, Project Manager at the Blainville Volvo factory. Even though the implementation of this solution has meant adding a new step to the assembly line to be able to incorporate and quickly configure the trackers, the time spent to do this is nothing compared to the time that was used before trying to find each truck, also offering a considerable cost cut, allowing to save an estimate over a hundred of thousands euros per year only for this factory plant.  The Abeeway and Actility solution has also been chosen for being applicable to various Volvo Group factories worldwide, including plants in the United States, Belgium, Switzerland and Brazil, allowing the factory in Blainville to work as a pilot project for future deployments and fast use case enablement. “Our platform allows to deploy a dedicated and fully controlled LoRaWAN network allowing fast use cases enablement. All components of the network, including trackers, gateways and data routing are managed from a unique user interface, connected to all popular clouds or applications. This helped to make the Volvo Group project much simpler, quicker to deploy, easy to operate and scalable to other factories”  says Olivier Hersent, CEO at Actility. About Volvo Trucks  Volvo Trucks provides complete transport solutions for professional and demanding customers, offering a full range of medium to heavy duty trucks. Customer support is secured via a global network of dealers with 2,100 service points in more than 130 countries. Volvo trucks are assembled in 14 countries across the globe.

As the COVID-19 pandemic escalated during March, many hospitals are dealing with an overflow of patients, putting pressure on medical staff working in facilities that are already at capacity, creating a state of medical war zone.  In an initiative to support the Spanish healthcare system with the application of the latest secure wireless network technology – LoRaWAN® – Actility, Everynet and Redexia provided Barcelona hospitals with hundreds of Abeeway IoT devices to endow temporary hospital facilities with geolocated nurse-call buttons, at no charge, in order for patients to be able to notify medical personnel in case of urgent needs.   As there is no infrastructure in ad-hoc field hospitals, LoRaWAN® is the perfect communication protocol to implement IoT solutions quickly, as it offers excellent penetration through walls and enables seamless indoor and outdoor wireless coverage. The ultra-low power consumption allows the tiny battery powered devices to last for months before requiring a charge.  Within this consortium of technology partners, local service providers Everynet and Redexia have created the necessary LoRaWAN network for the hospital facilities. Everynet, in particular, has offered its secure wireless data network to the healthcare system for free for the entire duration of the emergency. The myDevices software IoT platform collects and presents the data to healthcare professionals in a clear dashboard and enables real-time nurse-call alerts with the system. Redexia played a vital role to coordinate the integration and deployment logistics and to get this valuable system in to the hands of the healthcare system. Together these technology pioneers pooled their resources to endow hospitals Bellvitge, San Pau, Parc Taulí, Germans Trias i Pujol and Del Mar in Barcelona with this important nurse-call solution. As of today, nurse-call buttons were installed directly in each of 750 hospital beds so that patients can notify an emergency at any time.  The Abeeway micro-tracker devices were perfect for the purpose, providing an easily actionable button, easy to clean (waterproof) and compact. The button also embeds a Bluetooth scanner which can recognize the bed or surrounding equipment for easy location by hospital personnel, a GPS for outdoor location and as well as temperature sensor. A firmware update will soon enable contact tracing & physical distancing features leveraging the integrated 80dBa speaker. Considering the devices long battery life, the quick deployment and the long-lasting service life, health structures will not need to worry about maintenance or management of the service, so that doctors and nurses only need to be fully focused on their duties and can promptly help those in need.  “Improving healthcare facilities operations for patients and staff is critical in an effective fight against the spread of Covid-19. With Abeeway devices communicating through LoRaWAN, nurses get real-time information about a patient call for a nurse and the positioning of the patient bed. This enhances overall patient safety and medical staff efficiency and allows to save lives” Olivier Hersent, CEO et Actility. Abeeway devices are specifically designed to be easily used by people: not only patients, but also the personnel, workers in factories, constructions sites etc.  It is versatile and multi-purpose. The Abeeway Micro Tracker is a multi-mode tracker with embedded geolocation sensors for accurate outdoor and indoor geolocation, leveraging the very low-power LoRaWAN IoT connectivity. The device is also used for Proximity Registration, allowing efficient contact tracing for Covid-19, to maintain a dynamic virtual geofence around an employee at site level, preventing and warning against proximity. “We are honored and humbled that we could provide real help in such trying times and we hope our contribution will alleviate some of the burden on overloaded medical staff. We believe that our initiative to deliver our network for free, together with the strong ecosystem of partners that we built together with Redexia, can make a difference”  says Lawrence Latham, CEO of Everynet “The unprecedented and rapid spread of the coronavirus has created a strain in the healthcare field with the immediate need to expand hospital capacity. myDevices is pleased to contribute to this cause, alongside our partners, by providing the LoRa-enabled technology to empower the solution. The Nurse-Call system effectively alerts medical staff when patients require assistance, essential in preserving patient lives, and the safety of the healthcare staff.” said Kevin Bromber, CEO & Founder of myDevices.

Covid-19: how the IoT can save people. Solutions from WMW, Abeeway and Actility​ WMW, a Belgian “framework” for IoT, Abeeway, a location intelligence solution provider for IoT, and Actility, the leading provider of Low-Power WAN networking solutions, are launching several solutions to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic at different stages, using various geolocation technologies and low-power IoT networks.   The three companies have integrated their solutions: WMW is an adaptive registration dashboard with micro-modules, allowing to visualize data from IoT devices and get valuable insights. The WMW solutions takes inputs from Abeeway devices processed by ThingPark Location Engine, the fused location provider platform of Actility.   There are 3 solutions that are offered:  1) Private Proximity Registration. Companies that want to return to work demand solutions to protect their employees. This kit provides a private network and personal trackers to maintain a dynamic virtual geofence around an employee at site level. Since we will have to be careful for several more months to come and our employees are our most important assets, this solution helps to prevent and warn against proximity.  2) MySpace Monitoring. Elderly people, that we would want to follow up a little closer, can be in closer contact with their caregivers or family. Panic buttons, sensors that monitor movement, energy, and even doors, can be used in hospitals and rest homes, but also for people who still live at home. This allows direct, but also indirect, anomalies to be reported and timely action can be taken.  3) Quarantine Monitoring. People who should live in (self) quarantine do not always follow the rules and sometimes dare to go outside their zone, posing a high risk of spreading the virus. This solution registers the breach and informs about it. Deploying technology against Covid spreading  The world of IoT is usually aimed at the visualization and big data of the things that our society uses to help an organisation or industry to operate. Examples cover a very wide range such as Smart Waste, Smart Parking, and even Building Management. WMW is not just an IoT Platform, but more specifically a technology (framework) to build platforms. Thus, WMW have taken a step back to create greater flexibility and to allow them to build tailored applications fully focused on the “use case”. This flexibility is extended very far. For example, the WMW platform is device-agnostic, network-agnostic, database-agnostic, and is being used worldwide through partners.  “Over the past few weeks, we’ve focused primarily on applications, derivatives of the 97 apps we’ve already built, that can handle various impacts and observations around Covid-19. Our resellers worldwide are close to their governments and this allows us to draw global conclusions that are not valid only in Belgium. Of course, it helps that we know a lot of device makers and that we can help inspire their strategy. After all, we report the questions from the market back to them,” according to Bert Vanaken, CEO of WMW.  Abeeway offers a complete low-power indoor&outdoor fused geolocation solution for the Internet of Things that surpasses simple GPS. Through location intelligence, we enable efficient management of your mobile and fixed assets, protecting people and monitoring animals. We give organizations, industries, logistics companies, and the entire supply chain transparency and more effective processes. “Abeeway decided to contribute its extensive expertise in the field of low-power geolocation in order to help people, companies and hospitals in the fight against COVID-19. With the Abeeway tracking system, including miniature trackers and badge trackers, you can set automated alarms and geofence boundary alerts to register breaches, help people to remain  alert and allow proximity back-tracing”, according to Olivier Hersent, Actility & Abeeway’s CEO.
