Triax Technologies Proximity Trace IoT system provides proximity distancing alerts and contact tracing through a wearable device, affixed to a hard hat or worn with a lanyard, which emits a progressively louder alarm, alerting workers when they are too close to each other. Designed to keep workers safe from COVID-19 exposure on the worksite, the system can be used to conduct contact tracing, if a worker tests positive, using historical data captured passively by his or her device to identify others who may have been exposed.
