IT specialist Emtec Corporation has launched the WorkSafe Spacer wearable social distance monitor which helps users maintain a safe social distance in the workplace and alerts wearers when other units come within two metres with light, vibration and sound.

Back in April last year, Devon-based company, Emtec, began looking at solutions to get people safely back to work during the pandemic and the lightweight, wearable Safe Spacer, developed in conjunction with IK Multimedia, is helping businesses reopen safely and create a Covid-secure workplace.

The device uses cutting edge ultra-wideband radio-frequency technology to achieve precise distancing and is up to 10 times more accurate than traditional Bluetooth. When operated with other protective measures, the Safe Spacer reduces the possibility of person-to-person infection by alerting wearers when other units come within two metres or six feet of them.

It can be worn on a wristband, belt loop or lanyard and can adapt to any workplace, without compromising existing safety protocols. There’s a choice of visual, vibration or audio to suit any work environment or individual need, and the device can also log contacts to facilitate fast contract tracing in the event of a reported exposure.

Each unit can be charged individually, or for organisations managing multiple units, the optional S-Charger docking/charging station allows the simultaneous bulk charging of up to 25 units. 

Alongside the devices, Emtec has developed its own cloud-based software to enable workplace contact tracing. The cloud-based platform will help users visualise and manage any breaches of the 2-meter social distancing regulations and spread of diseases within the workplace.

Ideal for use across the hotel, logistics, medical, manufacturing, food processing and construction industries, the device is also suitable for big corporations with large numbers of staff, who need to maintain distancing while working in a shared office space.

It is waterproof and therefore easy to clean and sanitise and perfect for businesses operating multi-shift facilities or those that are open to the public such as museums, art galleries, churches, schools, casinos and other visitor attractions. The Safe Spacer is suitable for companies of any size, from 10 to 10,000 employees.

Emtec’s aim in creating the Safe Spacer was to help organisations get back to business and operate in a confidently secure way. Safe Spacer is a real game-changer and what’s more its future-proof design offers many additional uses post-Covid, so it’s a real investment for any business.
