MakuSafe - Hardware Solution for Workforce Safety
MākuSafe offers a scalable hardware ecosystem tailored to enhance workforce safety and productivity in various operational settings. Their primary offering includes wearable devices equipped with IoT sensors that monitor environmental conditions, detect hazardous human motions, and track proximity and location, pivotal for ensuring worker safety. Additional features allow workers to log near-miss incidents and notable observations via voice memos, which are then transmitted to safety leaders for proactive measures. The system includes armbands, base station kiosks, and continuous support, making deployment seamless. The wearable devices detect parameters like ambient light, air quality, noise levels, air pressure, humidity, and temperature. They provide crucial data on slips, trips, falls, repetitive motions, physical exertion, spatial awareness, and even enable social distancing and contact tracing. Designed for comfort, the device is worn on the upper arm and needs to be returned to the kiosk for charging at the end of shifts. MākuSafe ensures worker privacy by not collecting personal, biometric, or HIPAA-covered information and by not continuously tracking worker location. The solution aligns with enhancing workplace safety through predictive analytics and machine learning to forecast and prevent accidents.
The MākuSmart cloud SaaS platform enables effective safety management. Easy to understand, and available on any device! Actionable analytics dashboards provide leadership with metrics and valuable insights about potential risks and hazards in real-time – allowing safety and operations personnel to take proactive steps and implement control measures to improve worker health, safety, and productivity.
Proactive Safety Management Made Easy
MākuSmart can be customizable, allows for EHS reporting, and can take in data from other IoT sources (via API) to be displayed alongside workforce wearable data. The platform is designed to put connected worker data into the fabric of the connected factory or site, and help safety & operations managers optimize their facility or work and foster a safety-first culture.
Cross-Team Collaboration
The platform also serves as a communication and collaboration conduit between multiple user audiences. In industrial organizations, front line safety supervisors can easily share reports and metrics with their corporate leadership, giving an inside look at the KPIs, track ROI of safety improvements, actions taken, results achieved, and driving a culture of safety. Insurer loss-control teams can use the platform to deliver services to policyholders and stay closely engaged no matter the distance or the size of the client.
The Voice of The Frontline Worker
Our wearable device features an easy-to-use push-to-talk button that anyone wearing the armband can use. Much like today’s cellphone voicemail, your actual voice, and a text-based message of the memo, is then sent to whoever is designated. This could be the Shift Supervisor, the Safety Leader, the Plant Manager, or anyone who needs to know what’s happening on the frontlines.
