Too many accidents occur in the workplace. The latest related report conducted in Spain revealed that there are 412 fatalities per year. A large number of accidents happen while workers are performing maintenance tasks alone. If a worker is not assisted quickly, the consequences can be fatal. At present, there is no system capable of autonomously reporting the exact location of an injured person to a control centre. VardiaN is a service platform designed to prevent accidents, reduce the response time of emergency services, and minimise the severity of accidents. Here, it is necessary to equip operators with a system capable of:
- Locating its position both indoors and outdoors
- Detecting falls, lack of movement, sudden accelerations, and other anomalies
- Detecting worker access to unauthorised areas
- Detecting whether the operator has taken all the safety equipment required for the work at hand
- Sending and receiving alarms, notifications, and other messages to and from the control centre
Two different solutions will be offered:
- An app for operators who already have company smartphones
- Wearable Personnel Protection Equipment (PPE) with optional ATEX casing
