It ’ s an exciting time to be involved in the design , manufacture and application of cutting-edge technology .
for the zone in which they are working is rapidly identified . Again , alerts and alarms can be triggered to ensure that appropriate protective measures are taken depending on an operative ’ s role and location on site .
The fitting of a Radio Frequency Identification ( RFID ) system into every helmet further augments advanced AI and analytics capabilities . Consisting of a tiny radio transponder , a radio receiver and transmitter , this technology can be used to transmit digital data back to a reader . This could be the hard-hat manufacturer ’ s name , identification mark and the European Standard number . Possibilities for use include a system to detect the condition or age of a hard hat to determine its suitability for auditing purposes and to ensure ongoing compliance with appropriate regulations . Visual confirmation from the camera can be sent to a screen , with a digital text overlay providing the relevant information from the RFID system . This provides a complete picture for an operative who can see all of the essential information at a glance , supported by high-quality video .
Innovating for Industry 4.0
It ’ s an exciting time to be involved in the design , manufacture and application of cutting-edge technology . Such is the potential for thinking of an application and then building a system to do it , that we ’ ll soon be seeing many new uses of surveillance , access control , IP audio , thermal , radar and a wide array of sensors and switches to completely transform industry and the complex manual processes we still see happening all around us . Axis is proud to be working closely with its valued partners and customers to help them achieve new and diverse requirements to support Industry 4.0 and innovate for a smarter , more automated and more connected world . �
