Ford Experimenting with Vibrating Social Distancing Wearables for Factory Workers
I love the application of existing hardware, but Bluetooth has a ways to go before they can claim the accuracy of knowing if you are 6 ft vs 5ft vs 7ft. Also constant recharging will be a headache. We are launching a dedicated device right now that also solves this problem. It uses 2 different RF frequencies and a proprietary protocol to allow us to make accuracy claims that are meaningful for social distancing in the workplace, and allows for >2 month battery life. It's great to see companies across industries collaborating to solve the challenges of our new reality.
RFID has nothing to do with Bluetooth.
