Philips, a leading manufacturer of ultrasound and hospital equipment, prioritises the safety of its employees. Their expansive production floor presents unique challenges for lone maintenance workers. To address these ongoing concerns, Philips has implemented SoloProtect devices as part of their proactive safety initiatives.

The Challenge: Ensuring Lone Worker Safety in a Large Manufacturing Environment

Maintaining proactive safety for lone workers at Philips’ manufacturing facility presented challenges due to its expansive size and the specific operational risks involved. Traditional safety methods, while effective in the past, required enhancement to address the evolving safety requirements within the dynamic production environment.

With a simple push of a button, lone workers can get rapid assistance.

Continuous Location Tracking and 24/7 Communication:

The device provides continuous location tracking and 24/7 communication capabilities, enabling Philips to monitor worker locations and status updates dynamically. This feature ensures proactive safety measures and a swift response to potential incidents, enhancing overall worker safety and operational efficiency.
