Open Platform of Industrial Wearables
Automate critical safety alerts and incident management
Stay connected to keep workers safe and productive
Centralize instrument data
Connected workers are continually visible – with location, status and walk path. Automated, configurable check in, based on task, location and more.
The RKI Instruments Gas Detection Connected Worker Solution runs on the Guardhat Platform – a purpose-built IIoT platform designed for the people who make, power and move industrial operations and the world around us. With an expanding ecosystem of device and software integrations, the Guardhat Platform allows for flexible, scalable deployments. Tie the platform into existing software – to trigger incident records – or an expanding array of hardware such as biometric bands, AR glasses, smart hardhats and more. Solutions include:
Get live GPS location and gas readings for all workers from the Safety Control Center (SCC), to help ensure safety without burdening workers on the job.
Create on demand geo fencing for restricting access to a target area or to create a muster point to account for personnel. Leverage walk path reports to investigate incident root-cause, conduct safety audits, mine data for operational improvements with heat maps and bread crumbs.
“Connecting our personal gas monitors into the Guardhat platform will provide our customers with a more immediate awareness of the dangers facing their workers” said Bob Pellissier, president of RKI Instruments. “Gas exposure information is translated into real-time alerts and location awareness beyond the worker, to internal support teams or EMS personnel for immediate, preventative intervention as well as PPE compliance. This data is crucial for worker safety, but also provides capabilities to manage fleets of instruments.”
