Rombit from Belgium uses plug-and-play IoT technology to make industrial sites safe. Accidents at work have significant human and economic consequences. Rombit wearables prevent man-machine collisions, notify emergency response teams in man down scenarios, and support evacuation procedures. The Rombit scale-up adapted the industrial safety wearable into a bracelet for social distancing at work. Rombit Covid prevents the spread of the coronavirus among employees, by combining physical distancing alerts with follow-up contact tracing.
