New App: Workforce solution for business continuity & operational resilience

You can’t predict the next crisis, but you can be prepared for it

For most companies, it is a challenge to safely start up again after the lockdown. It is therefore important that the strict regulations of the World Health Organization (WHO) concerning 'Social Distancing' are respected, and this with respect for the privacy of the employee.

The impact of the corona pandemic has hurt organizations of any size, all over the world. The need to develop a strong and future-proof business continuity plan to ensure that operations can run as normal, has never been higher. 

Therefor, companies need to improve their level of operational resilience in order to protect their business from disruptions. It requires a human-centric approach that ensures workforces remain productive while maintaining the highest standards of security, safety and control. 

In recent weeks, there was a lot going on around intelligent bracelets or wearables that alarm when social distance is not respected. However, these hardware solutions are often evaluated as a costly quick fix. In addition, delivery times, integration and adaptation of such systems take a lot of time. 

For all these reasons, Pepperl+Fuchs and EPIC BLUE joined forces to develop a scalable solution that ensures business continuity during the challenges of today and the future. And this for all environments, including ATEX.

Guardian COVID is an application that is installed completely anonymously on the robust smart devices of Pepperl+Fuchs. The high quality hardware in combination with the location intelligence software creates a proven workforce solution for social distancing, contact tracing, operational excellence and business continuity. The solution complies with all legal guidelines and is the ultimate signal to your employees that their safety & security is a management priority.

Via a stack of management dashboards, your organization will be able to implement a true COVID response plan and to evaluate if the measures are well designed and successful. It allows to generating proximity heatmaps to find hotspots of activity in order to refine the response plan.

The solution is offered via a subscription based on the number of active users.
