Tended’s Revolutionary Geofencing Wearable Receives Network Rail’s Stamp of Approval
Pioneering Safety Solution Set to Transform Rail Industry
A Game-Changer in Rail Safety: Tended’s Geofencing Wearable Accepted by Network Rail
In a remarkable feat of innovation, startup company Tended has achieved product acceptance from Network Rail for its groundbreaking geofencing wearable safety solution. This significant milestone comes after two years of intensive research and testing in real-world environments alongside Network Rail and its dedicated frontline workforce.
Introducing the Geofencing Wearable: A Cutting-Edge Safety Solution
Tended’s geofencing wearable is a rugged and advanced device accompanied by an intuitive planning dashboard. This innovative solution empowers organizations to effortlessly map geofence zones across their worksites. With cm-level accuracy achieved without the need for additional infrastructure, the geofencing solution enables swift and hassle-free setup.
Geofences serve as virtual boundaries that define hazardous or safe areas, ensuring that workers carry out their tasks in positions of utmost safety. Each worker is equipped with a compact wearable device that delivers real-time alerts when they approach the boundaries of a geofence. These alerts serve as a critical reminder of their potentially dangerous position, effectively enhancing situational awareness and promoting safer decision-making.
The geofencing wearable’s alerts are thoughtfully designed to encourage workers to adopt safer behaviors over time. By consistently nudging individuals towards making safer choices, this solution contributes to a culture of safety within the workforce. Furthermore, the accompanying dashboard analytics provide valuable breach statistics, enabling evidence-based safety improvement policies.
Recognition for Excellence: Award-Winning Accuracy and Life-Saving Potential
The remarkable accuracy and life-saving potential of Tended’s geofencing solution have garnered prestigious acclaim. The solution recently emerged as the winner in the Engineering and Safety category at the esteemed Railway Industry Association Innovation Awards 2022. Judges were captivated by its unparalleled precision and its potential to save lives within the rail industry.
Strategic Partnership: Tended and Unipart Rail Unite to Revolutionize Rail Safety
With an impressive track record of five years in developing safety wearables, Tended has joined forces with Unipart Rail to deploy the geofencing wearable solution across rail networks. Together, they aim to offer the geofencing wearable as a comprehensive service, available for hire, lease, managed service, or outright purchase.
Leo Scott Smith, CEO and founder of Tended, shared his thoughts on this groundbreaking achievement: “Safety in the rail industry is of paramount importance. Through collaboration with Network Rail, we have firsthand insights into the moments when workers have mere seconds to avoid high-speed trains. Every incident on the rail network, whether caused by an accident or a misplaced piece of equipment, results in significant disruption, incurring massive costs and delays.”
Smith further expressed his excitement, stating, “Now that we have achieved product acceptance, we are thrilled to introduce innovation into this safety-critical industry. Our aim is to empower individuals to work with confidence, ensuring that every worker can safely return home to their families after each shift.”
Tended has already deployed over 10,000 wearables in safety-critical environments, earning the trust of industry-leading organizations such as Network Rail and Siemens.
A Safer Future Awaits with Tended’s Geofencing Wearable
With Tended’s geofencing wearable now accepted by Network Rail, a new era of safety is on the horizon for the rail industry. This transformative solution empowers workers, instills confidence, and ensures that safety remains at the forefront of every operation. As Tended continues to revolutionize safety-critical environments, rail professionals can look forward to a future where every shift concludes with a safe return home.
