| Earlier this year, Discovering Safety, in partnership with Safetytech Accelerator and others in the construction industry, created the world's first regulatory sandbox for Industrial Safetytech in order for tech companies to come together with industry and the health and safety regulator to develop innovative solutions for the Construction Industry. Now that the project has concluded were delighted to be able to share the knowledge, outcomes and new technologies that havebeen developed along with the proposed next steps at a free face-to-face event in London on the 17 October. Presentations will be given at the event by five of the tech companies involved in the sandbox: FYLD is an award-winning digital platform that automatically transforms video and audio footage into real-time workflows, visual risk assessments and analytics dashboards. By harnessing the power of machine learning, it eliminates paperwork, saves time and creates safer sites. HAL Robotics is an extensible and modular software which facilitates inter-device communication, adaptive programming of robot tasks and motion planning for one or many robots working together. PLINX is a safety system using wireless sensor technology designed to make construction sites safer. The system protects construction workers and employers by restricting access, based on role and purpose, to areas of hazardous activity. Machine Eye employs the latest deep learning Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to identify humans in real-time and understand their likely interaction with a machine to assist, inform and support decision making, leading to safer workplaces. The EAVE system consists of smart ear defenders which continuously collect data on environmental noise and the wearer's exposure to noise. Beacons which work with the ear defenders map worksite noise and present to an online platform for viewing the data and gathering insights. The system is used to protect over-exposed workers, adjust working methods and remove noise hazards at source. More information, an agenda and registration are available on our website. |
