- Redpoint's Solution Can Help Reduce Risk of Coronavirus Spread in Warehouses

and Industrial Sites

Today, Redpoint Positioning Corporation announced a new application for their

Internet of Moving Things (IoMvT)(TM) platform that delivers real-time location

tracking. Their cutting-edge technology is already used by leading companies

worldwide in third-party logistics, auto manufacturing, mine operations, and

other sectors to improve productivity, reduce unnecessary capital spending, and

contribute to a safer work environment. Now, the system is being applied in

warehouses and other industrial environments for the purposes of enforcing

social distance between employees, contact tracing, and enforcing other safety

measures being taken to combat the spread of coronavirus.

Redpoint's technology uses tags and Ultra-wideband (UWB) signal to track the

location of people and equipment with extremely high accuracy, even in complex

industrial environments. If social distancing parameters, such as a 1- or

2-meter radius, are violated between workers, the tag alarm will alert them to

the hazard.

The system is also helping employers define geo-fenced areas in their

facilities, allowing them to set occupancy maximums and to monitor areas to

avoid crowding. They can also geo-fence cleaning stations and track employees'

entry and time spent in these areas to enforce handwashing or equipment

cleaning protocols. If an infection does occur, historical data from the system

will allow for highly accurate contact tracing, as records can show the

individuals who were near the infected party.

Redpoint has many clients in China and first became aware of this new use case

for their technology in February when the pandemic began affecting those

clients' operations. One client, a major mobile data center in China, was able

to use Redpoint's IoMvT to enforce new safety measures to reduce the risk to

their employees and keep their facility open.

While companies everywhere grapple with closures due to coronavirus, the

Redpoint team is taking what they learned in China and leading other clients

across the globe toward a solution. "We know that employees can't go back to

work unless their employers can enforce safety protocols to reduce their risk

of contracting or spreading coronavirus. When we saw our solution helping our

clients in China, we wanted to make it available to the rest of the world,"

said Chunjie Duan, CEO and Co-Founder of Redpoint. "We can use our technology

to help," he said.
