The port and shipyard are complex and highly dynamic environments where workplace safety is of utmost importance. Wearable devices that can be managed brings great benefits – especially from the perspective of easy deployment, seamless updates and real-time monitoring.

These wearables can monitor vital signs, detect hazardous conditions, and provide real-time alerts to both workers and supervisors. In turn, supervisors can remotely monitor in real time from command center, and respond to potential safety issues decisively. Teams can also opt for rugged devices that are designed specifically to withstand harsh conditions, so as to ensure durability and reliability of the devices. In a port/shipyard setting, these conditions include hard knocks, dampness through contact with water, extreme temperature, as well as other unpredictable and hazardous elements.
