TraceSafe Inc. (CSE:TSF) announced that it has reached an agreement to supply a global Tier 1 semiconductor manufacturer with 60,000 wearable units to be used across their enterprise.
The firm, a global leader in wearable safety tech and connected workforce solutions, including large-scale venue management and asset tracking, said the order has the potential to be the biggest corporate wearables order in history and represents the next phase of TraceSafe's product growth.
For an order of this magnitude, TraceSafe said it has deployed its next generation of wearable products, which can be processed and paired within seconds. Comparable products on the market that use similar Bluetooth technology to pair contact tracing devices (bracelets, clips or badges) with smartphones typically take up to three minutes per device to pair.

The group noted that professional services network Deloitte is managing the implementation, integrating TraceSafe software into the Deloitte platform.

The agreement with the Fortune 500 firm calls for the use of TraceSafe's entire suite of wearables and cloud management solutions, including custom API access. Sixty thousand units will be deployed, covering not only all 45,000 global employees but additional contract manufacturing support personnel spread across more than 20 manufacturing facilities and offices.
These 60,000 new devices can be paired within moments. TraceSafe CEO Wayne Lloyd said, "as a complex supply chain company operating in multiple jurisdictions around the world, it's advantageous for companies to leverage TraceSafe's new technology to ensure they remain operational in 2021 and beyond."
"This is one of the largest deployments of its kind anywhere in the world and we are very proud to be working with technology innovators to deliver a product so important in enhancing the health and safety of their workforce," added Dennis Kwan, CEO at TraceSafe Technologies Inc in a statement.
