Next-generation IoT system digitizes daily processes, adds capabilities, streamlines logistics and provides actionable, on-demand machine insights.

Increased investment in OSH reflects the acknowledgement that high-risk industrial businesses need the most advanced solutions to function effectively and protect their workforce. 

Like many industries, field service management stands to benefit from improvements to its operations and workflows. 

This marks the third sustainability-focused acquisition for Cority in the past two years, including WeSustain and Reporting 21.

The SoterTask vision processing software proactively assesses ergonomic risk in the workplace. SoterTask records a video of a work task and then provides a visual overlay highlighting high-risk angles and movements of a worker’s body including legs, arms, neck and back on a second-by-second chart.

Forward-thinking industrial equipment manufacturers have been developing ways to make their products smart and inter-connected in recent years.

This year’s National Safety Congress & Expo in San Diego featured a tech hub of approximately 25 vendors that seemed a world away from the usual exhibits of PPE, training services and facility equipment.

As regulatory complexities and sustainability goals continue to evolve, it’s becoming more critical for EHS teams in manufacturing settings to embrace digital transformation to make manufacturing processes more efficient and sustainable.

While on the job, field service workers must spend a lot of time on the road and interact with electrical equipment, heavy machinery, and power tools that could post dangerous risks if not properly approached. 

An industrial business needs industrial solutions. This is a logical statement that is often not applied in practice. Many companies engaged in heavy industrial and other demanding, dangerous work opt for off-the-shelf consumer-grade technology for their workers, potentially slowing them down and even putting them at risk.
