IS5 | Industrial-Grade Wearables: The Future of Ergonomic Risk Assessments (Room Champagne 2)

22 Aug 19
8:15 AM - 9:15 AM

Tracks: Industrial Ergonomics & Safety

While wearable technology has become relatively commonplace on our wrists — think FitBit and Apple Watch — industrial-grade wearables, especially those focusing on risk reduction, are a newer and smaller niche. Mr. Conlon will speak on ways to unlock value from industrial-grade wearables, including gaining insights into attrition, targeted training, process redesign, behavior change and more. He’ll also share real-world examples of how risk professionals in companies ranging from agriculture to manufacturing to logistics are leveraging these tools to analyze worker motion and implement better solutions to keep workers safe.
