Wednesday, September 15. Singapore 🇸🇬, Toulouse 🇫🇷, Hyderabad 🇮🇳, Eindhoven 🇳🇱, Munich 🇩🇪, Boston 🇺🇸 – In the last 6 months, we’ve been all around the world unearthing the next big solution in the domain of workforce technologies which has the most potential to make physical work safer and healthier. With the Get in the Ring Workforce Technologies Competition, we’re working with the industry to create a future where physical workers are the athletes of tomorrow. The moment to award the first-ever Get in the Ring Workforce Technologies Competition winner is here.
🔴 or 🔵 – two innovative Workforce Technologies, both with a common goal of making physical work safer and healthier. It’s the battle between AR (Augmented Reality) and AI.
🔴 In the red corner, we had Spiral Technology and Konstantyn Shyshkin. Spiral Technology delivers a Mixed Reality (XR) and AR platform that helps technicians work 30% faster with lower error rates.
Why This Matters: The mixed reality platform works on headsets like Hololens and provides visualization of hidden structures, step-by-step inspection or maintenance instructions while doing automated quality assurance in the background.
🔵The blue corner is represented by WearHealth and Esteban Bayro-Kaiser. WearHealth helps companies to improve worker safety, health and productivity by monitoring workload and correlating it with operations using AI-powered wearables.
Why This Matters: Companies can save costs and increase productivity by empowering workers and augmenting occupational safety and health monitoring.
🏆 After an intense pitch battle showdown, the champion jury was most impressed by WearHealth‘s capacity to combine AI and IoT to empower organizations to reduce mistakes, accidents, and absenteeism by providing them with an easy and effective way to continuously prevent risks caused by human factors. Congratulations to WearHealth for emerging as the winning solution of the Workforce Technologies Final! Their technology could be a safety and health companion for workers all over the world.
