Connected Solutions

Workers are exposed to a number of hazards daily, whether that’s an unknown gas from a confined space, dust generated from grinding stone or excessive noise in a factory, all can have negative effects on workers health. Monitoring devices for these hazards have come a long way but they often only monitor for that specific hazards, therefore workers end up wearing two or three different monitors for each different hazard. This not only becomes overbearing for the worker but also is very admin heavy for the supervisor or operations to manage effectively.

The Connected Worker makes it easy for the worker to understand immediately if they are in danger with localised alerts and for the operations manager to see threats in real-time of an entire workforce. Each individual monitor can be connected to communicate data to a central dashboard where data can be easily viewed and analysed.

Several hazards exist within all workplaces, not only do you have to keep your workforce safe with personal protective equipment, but you must also monitor hazards created by the workplace environment.

The Connected Workplace increases safety, decreases manual processes and increases productivity. Having all your monitoring devices connected to one central data hub allows for real-time viewing of data and therefore actions can be taken immediately. Connecting all monitoring devices from personal units to area, or even remote monitors to one central dashboard will also provide a continuous feed of information which can be collected and subsequently analysed for influencing future safety plans.

Our communities are often built around industry, providing close living options for those who work there. Everyday necessities also play a part in our communities including sewerage treatment plants and refuse sites. If not managed correctly odours and gases can be emitted from such operations and cause unwanted smells and irritations to the occupants from communities nearby.

Another example would be mining and exploration which happens frequently in rural communities, depending on prevailing wind conditions, can blow dust and unpleasant smells to a community, if these hazards were monitored and the community was connected to these alerts, they could be notified of this or anything which may disrupt the equilibrium of communities.

AES offers solutions for the real-time monitoring and measuring of hazardous impacts on the environment resulting from human activity. Measuring levels of dust, noise, odour and gas provides data for overall understanding of the potential detrimental effects on the environment. For example, if we can understand the impact industrial manufacturing is having on the surrounding environment, we can implement changes and preventative measures to ensure these human interferences don’t become destructive, or even worse, irreversible.
