The Challenge

As the client was struggling with a disparate system that was building a disconnected work environment, it could not track, analyze, and infer results about the reasons and nature of any work activity being hazardous or not. Moreover, with siloed processes, collecting and analyzing work metrics across industries was a time-consuming, error-prone task that led to low productivity and rising costs.

However, the client’s pressing challenge remained to improve its core offering of ensuring employee safety for its customers. Thus, the client was looking for an IT partner to identify inexplicable reasons and reduce workplace injuries.

The Solution

Virtusa helped the client harness the power of the internet of things (IoT) by developing a wearable sensory device to monitor and manage work facility offerings for its customers’ workforce.

Our team implemented customizable sensors to track work, monitor injury occurrence, and deliver the data needed to prevent similar events in the future to strengthen the client’s core offering.

Virtusa seamlessly integrated the wearable sensory device with blue-collared employees to establish a standard working atmosphere and conditions to benefit its client’s offerings by:

  1. Gathering data: Data collected through this device was transmitted through WiFi or cellular to the cloud.
  2. Detecting fraud: By identifying potentially hazardous or inefficient activities, the client was able to modify work procedures and improve work activities.
  3. Developing metrics: User-friendly dashboards tracked employee timestamps, thus empowering supervisors, and risk managers to improve productivity.
  4. Analyzing reports: Actionable reports were available for supervisors to view on mobile devices and web browsers.
  5. Employee performance: Employees could manage their work activities and utilize insights to achieve their highest performance.
