Centurion, South Africa, 12 Aug 2020
As more and more companies start on-site operations and employees return to workplaces, businesses have to adapt to a whole new way of operating. Although lockdown measures are gradually being eased, the ongoing presence of COVID-19 demands no ‘return to normal’ way of thinking.
Companies are highly focused on protecting employees, customers and visitors to business premises, but eager to resume operations to drive business activity and, in many instances, mitigate job losses. Adhering to ongoing requirements like distancing, the use of PPEs and temperature screening is the new norm, and with it, brings new challenges.
“Adherence to new requirements can be managed efficiently with the use of technology that provides data about different metrics in real-time. IoT.nxt and Vodacom developed a People & Spaces Monitoring Solution, which will ensure that social distancing regulations are adhered to, and a Thermal Scanning Solution – that includes PPE detection and temperature monitoring – will allow companies to safely resume operations while keeping the business and employees safe,” says André Strauss, Chief Commercial Officer at IoT.nxt.
“These solutions were developed as part of an overall strategy to manage COVID-19 related operational challenges. We have live commercial sites in operation where the solutions proved their value in a very short time,” Strauss says.
The solutions and how this can be implemented at any business will be discussed in detail at a webinar to be hosted by IoT.nxt and Vodacom on 19 August 2020. A panel of experts will elaborate on the art of the possible using IOT technology and provide attendees with all relevant information about how it works and what results they can expect.
The speakers are:
Peter Malebye, Managing Executive IoT Africa at Vodacom Business
Alison Vorster, Senior Manager Business Development IoT at Vodacom Business
Kabelo Makwane, Managing Executive Cloud, Hosting & Security at Vodacom Business
André Strauss, Chief Commercial Officer at IoT.nxt
