This not only applies to our family members and friends, but also to those who we work with.&nbsp;&nbsp;Workers are an organization\u2019s most valuable asset; therefore, proximity policies\u202fmust be\u202fenforced\u202fin enterprises\u202fin order\u202fto help prevent Coronavirus from spreading and comply with mandatory safety measures.&nbsp;This is crucial to keep a healthy work environment and to avoid\u202fcostly\u202ftemporary\u202fshutdowns.&nbsp;This issue is what led Actility\u202fto put its IoT expertise in geolocation and network management to work to create a digital&nbsp;Proximity Detection &amp; Contact Tracing Solution.&nbsp; Multifunctional tool for workers in various industries Covid-19 sanitary policies focus on two main goals:&nbsp;enforcement of distancing policies, and&nbsp;rapid and immediate identification of contamination clusters&nbsp;in case of confirmed infection.&nbsp; Wearable&nbsp;devices, conveniently packaged as ID Badge holders have been&nbsp;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.&nbsp; When the&nbsp;Smart Badge&nbsp;records two or more people\u202fexceeding\u202fthe safety limit,&nbsp;the badge will warn the worker&nbsp;by two levels of audible feedback (warning and immediate danger) or through a visual alarm.&nbsp; The badges are connected via LPWAN network to a back-end sanitary policy management application which&nbsp;generates statistics that help identify areas where close contacts occur&nbsp;\u2013 e.g. corridors \u2013 and help in the&nbsp;continuous improvement of office or factory floor optimization.&nbsp;The badges implement&nbsp;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.&nbsp; This&nbsp;compliance&nbsp;solution&nbsp;protects workers by ensuring\u202fsecure social distancing, but it is also protecting the&nbsp;continuity of corporate operations&nbsp;and&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;by&nbsp;avoiding&nbsp;costly&nbsp;full shutdowns-&nbsp;provides instant&nbsp;RoI.&nbsp;Temporary business shutdowns are necessary when companies are not able to&nbsp;trace contacts,&nbsp;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&nbsp;for each case&nbsp;and causes&nbsp;significant losses&nbsp;as well as unpredictable delivery delays. Digital&nbsp;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.&nbsp;When a Coronavirus infection is detected,&nbsp;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.\u202fIn addition,&nbsp;several&nbsp;studies&nbsp;have shown that&nbsp;rapid identification of a cluster is essential&nbsp;to prevent propagation, as anyone in the cluster may also start to propagate the virus.&nbsp;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&nbsp;limit the number of potential contacts,&nbsp;the solution also supports&nbsp;zoning policies.&nbsp;This may be organized as distinct work zones, helping&nbsp;workers remain within their assigned area by audio notification, or by&nbsp;organizing shifts. The system&nbsp;can optionally inform management if workers repeatedly violate&nbsp;such&nbsp;zoning policies.&nbsp; Compliance &amp; enforcement of maximum density policies\u202fcan also be&nbsp;implemented&nbsp;through this solution by audio warning when the maximum density of workers is reached in a specific shared area.&nbsp;The\u202fsolution is also capable of\u202foptimizing&nbsp;sanitation of shared assets\u202fby analyzing&nbsp;usage&nbsp;in real-time&nbsp;and&nbsp;ensuring compliance while&nbsp;triggering cleaning only when needed. How&nbsp;does&nbsp;LoRaWAN\u00ae&nbsp;technology make it possible?

This not only applies to our family members and friends, but also to those who we work with.&nbsp;&nbsp;Workers are an organization\u2019s most valuable asset; therefore, proximity policies\u202fmust be\u202fenforced\u202fin enterprises\u202fin order\u202fto help prevent Coronavirus from spreading and comply with mandatory safety measures.&nbsp;This is crucial to keep a healthy work environment and to avoid\u202fcostly\u202ftemporary\u202fshutdowns.&nbsp;This issue is what led Actility\u202fto put its IoT expertise in geolocation and network management to work to create a digital&nbsp;Proximity Detection &amp; Contact Tracing Solution.&nbsp; Multifunctional tool for workers in various industries Covid-19 sanitary policies focus on two main goals:&nbsp;enforcement of distancing policies, and&nbsp;rapid and immediate identification of contamination clusters&nbsp;in case of confirmed infection.&nbsp; Wearable&nbsp;devices, conveniently packaged as ID Badge holders have been&nbsp;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.&nbsp; When the&nbsp;Smart Badge&nbsp;records two or more people\u202fexceeding\u202fthe safety limit,&nbsp;the badge will warn the worker&nbsp;by two levels of audible feedback (warning and immediate danger) or through a visual alarm.&nbsp; The badges are connected via LPWAN network to a back-end sanitary policy management application which&nbsp;generates statistics that help identify areas where close contacts occur&nbsp;\u2013 e.g. corridors \u2013 and help in the&nbsp;continuous improvement of office or factory floor optimization.&nbsp;The badges implement&nbsp;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.&nbsp; This&nbsp;compliance&nbsp;solution&nbsp;protects workers by ensuring\u202fsecure social distancing, but it is also protecting the&nbsp;continuity of corporate operations&nbsp;and&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;by&nbsp;avoiding&nbsp;costly&nbsp;full shutdowns-&nbsp;provides instant&nbsp;RoI.&nbsp;Temporary business shutdowns are necessary when companies are not able to&nbsp;trace contacts,&nbsp;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&nbsp;for each case&nbsp;and causes&nbsp;significant losses&nbsp;as well as unpredictable delivery delays. Digital&nbsp;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.&nbsp;When a Coronavirus infection is detected,&nbsp;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.\u202fIn addition,&nbsp;several&nbsp;studies&nbsp;have shown that&nbsp;rapid identification of a cluster is essential&nbsp;to prevent propagation, as anyone in the cluster may also start to propagate the virus.&nbsp;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&nbsp;limit the number of potential contacts,&nbsp;the solution also supports&nbsp;zoning policies.&nbsp;This may be organized as distinct work zones, helping&nbsp;workers remain within their assigned area by audio notification, or by&nbsp;organizing shifts. The system&nbsp;can optionally inform management if workers repeatedly violate&nbsp;such&nbsp;zoning policies.&nbsp; Compliance &amp; enforcement of maximum density policies\u202fcan also be&nbsp;implemented&nbsp;through this solution by audio warning when the maximum density of workers is reached in a specific shared area.&nbsp;The\u202fsolution is also capable of\u202foptimizing&nbsp;sanitation of shared assets\u202fby analyzing&nbsp;usage&nbsp;in real-time&nbsp;and&nbsp;ensuring compliance while&nbsp;triggering cleaning only when needed.
