It was a great week for our portfolio IoT company Net4 at UK Construction Week in Birmingham, culminating in an exciting announcement that sees Roofspace investing in Rombit, for whom Net4 is the official UK partner.
Roofspace & Net4 have worked closely on deploying the lone worker solution to their Contracts Managers and aftercare team. The solution provides immediate alerts if a worker is in distress, or suffers a shock or fall as well as alerting if they become motionless. It is also possible to remotely check if a worker is safe, providing proactive safety measures.
By weaving the technology into its H&S practices, the wearable provides Roofspace’s employees with increased protection, with the knowledge that an alarm will be raised in the event of an incident.
The devices are connected via the mobile network, which enables UK-wide coverage and are battery-powered to provide all-day use. By utilising the latest positioning technology and various sensors, alarms are triggered automatically. They can be worn on a wrist, arm or ankle and provide haptic feedback to the user as well as flashing LEDs.
