Using intelligent hardhats to trace patient zero’s movements

Using the connected hardhats on a construction site has the unintended benefit of quickly identifying who an infected worker has been in contact with during the Covid-19 pandemic

Intelligent hardhat supplier WakeCap says an unintended benefit of its wireless monitoring system is that it can identify people who have come into contact with Covid-19 infected employees on a construction site.

The company’s wireless mesh network is designed to improve safety and efficiency onsite, by tracking, mapping and aggregating data on employee movements around a site.
