Zebra has launched Zebra MotionWorks Proximity, which offers proximity sensing with user-level alerting and contact tracing to enable employers to help protect their employees’ health while in the work environment.
Zebra’s solution provides proximity and contact tracing insights, dashboards and reports to employers as well as individual proximity alerts for the employees. The data is tied to an employee ID or anonymized user ID, allowing for actionable insights by the employer while allowing for the privacy of individuals, unlike other public contact tracing solutions. Accurate, automated contact tracing can help companies quickly identify exposed employees for testing, potentially limiting widespread facility closures.
Leveraging Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) and WiFi, the software solution is hosted in the cloud and managed remotely by Zebra. It doesn’t require new infrastructure and can be leveraged on existing supported Zebra Android devices or new devices available in different form factors and price points depending on user requirements.
