Rice Electronics and Intel combine to create worker safety IoT platform
Rice Electronics, has announced the launch of a Connected Worker solution in partnership with Intel.
Using Intel’s IoT technology, the solution is designed to improve safety and productivity of field workers in industrial environments. The end-to-end IoT platform will be available to use through Rice Electronics smart devices and provide robust communication, near real-time insight based on holistic analytics, and easy use to support, protect, and optimise industrial workloads.
Data is collected from across a work site and forwarded to the cloud via an Intel Atom processor-based gateway, which is then made available on Rice Electronics’s smart devices. Multiple connectivity protocols, including Wi-Fi and 3G are supported. Read more…
