Tracesafe Inc (CSE:TSF) (OTCMKTS:UTOLF) said Tuesday that it is “proud” to support Singapore as the city-state engineers the connected workplace of the future with its integrated wearable technology.
The company said its wearable safety technology recently won Singapore's National Innovation Challenge award for a "Digital Tool to Facilitate a COVID-Safe, Smart and Integrated Management of Worksite and Workforce," along with project partner Boustead Construction.
Since September 2020, TraceSafe said that Singapore has been “a shining example” of a national economy's safe reopening and has kept weekly average infections low (less than 40).

"We've seen a glimpse of the future Singapore and the picture is clear. Spatially aware wearables are becoming the key to a connected workplace ecosystem," said TraceSafe CEO Wayne Lloyd in a statement.
"Our products aren't just for workers - TraceSafe beacons can be placed on assets and machinery, leveraging proximity tracking technology for uses far beyond contact tracing. We are seeing a lot of interest in wearables for human activity recognition, powered by a combination of industry-specific sensors and machine learning."
Similar to TraceSafe's integration with Tritan Software for the cruise industry, the company's API is now also integrated with Deloitte's platform for clients in Singapore. The turnkey data solution with Deloitte has provided major inroads to other industry players around the globe.
Far from replacing workers, wearable technology "can improve productivity, help them overcome physical limitations, or compensate for spotty skills," Deloitte said.
"And they give employers new ways to plan for the workforce of the future. Enterprises in the automotive, chemicals and materials, mining, and oil and gas industries are using wearables to improve worker safety while enhancing the quality and efficiency of their work."
