Revolutionizing Workplace Safety with AI-Enabled Smart Watch Monitoring
Our client, an innovator in AI-powered wearables, developed smart watch technology designed to improve worker health and safety in high-risk environments. Their mission: reduce workplace injuries through real-time physiological monitoring, proactive alerts, and predictive analytics.
Lancaster Airport (LNS) is a public-use airport located four miles (6 km) north of the central business district of Lancaster, a city in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Lancaster Airport is a general aviation airport and offers various services, including fuel, maintenance, and aircraft rental. It also hosts several aviation-related businesses, such as flight schools, aircraft sales, and aviation consulting. The Lancaster Airport Authority manages the airport and is responsible for its operation and development. The Lancaster Airport Authority is a governmental entity created by Lancaster County in 1961 to develop and operate the airport.
The Challenge
A major manufacturing facility was experiencing recurring safety incidents, particularly slips and trips—which led to:
- Increased injuries, absenteeism, and healthcare costs
- Disruptions in production workflows and employee morale
- Limitations of traditional safety measures, which lacked real-time or predictive capabilities
- Difficulty managing and analyzing continuous health data from wearables at scale
Our Solution
OnPoint Insights partnered with the client to develop a comprehensive solution combining wearable tech, AI analytics, and real-time alerting systems. Key elements included:
- Smart Watch Integration: Devices tracked vital indicators like temperature, Electrodermal Activity (EDA), accelerometer movement, and Blood Volume Pulse (BVP).
- Data Pipeline & Storage: Data was securely collected in Amazon S3 using Avro format for efficient storage and scalability.
- AI Model Development: OnPoint built and trained an AI model to detect patterns that precede slip/trip events by analyzing fluctuations in biometric signals.
- Preprocessing & Sampling: Applied upsampling/downsampling and feature engineering to align data with model training needs.
- Scalable Processing Architecture: Implemented parallel and distributed computing strategies to ensure real-time processing while maintaining cost efficiency.
Results
- Proactive Safety Alerts: The AI system triggered early warnings, enabling supervisors to intervene before incidents occurred.
- Data-Driven Decision-Making: Historical trend analysis helped improve long-term safety protocols and workplace design.
- Reduced Accidents: The integration of wearable health monitoring significantly reduced slip/trip incidents on the shop floor.
- Enhanced Worker Confidence: Employees felt more secure working in an environment backed by smart safety technology.
