Designed for use in enclosed spaces such as factories, offices, warehouses, and educational facilities, the small, lightweight device easily attaches to an ID holder to alert users when a social distancing limit is exceeded. It can also eliminate the need for invasive personal protective equipment.
The Pathfindr Safe Distancing Assistant uses ultra-wideband (UWB) technology to create a full 360-degree detection field, which is far more reliable and accurate than other wireless technologies like Bluetooth. The device works directly from the computer, requiring no additional hardware, infrastructure, or connectivity. It has a preset two-meter setting, which is also adjustable. Because it activates when used, there's no need to remember to turn it on and off. It's rechargeable using the included USB charging cable and provides up to five days of continuous use on a single charge.
“Our Safe Distancing Assistant is affordable, hygienic, and easy to use,” said Ben Sturgess, CTO of Pathfindr. “When in use, it emits a short audible or vibrating alert when it detects another user within two meters, advising both users to check and increase their distance. It will help businesses reassure employees that effective social distancing measures are in place and demonstrate compliance with legal workplace safety requirements.”
“Pathfindr’s Safe Distancing Assistant helps businesses effectively address the challenges of COVID-19,” said Rebecca Matthews, Head of Commercial Suppliers at RS. “It also helps businesses where visitors are likely to be less familiar with internal social distancing procedures.”
