Proximity Sensor Enables Social Distancing on Assembly Lines
CHICAGO—In the post-coronavirus world, manufacturers will need to address social distancing on their assembly lines. One solution may be to deploy proximity sensors.
Engineering USA has developed a device called Smart Proximity. The sensors interact with each other by sending and receiving location information. When two devices are “visible” to each other, they provide real-time warning indicators (sound and LED light), asking operators to maintain a safe distance.
