Safe Work Solutions
Innovative Solutions for Unprecedented Times
Companies around the world are quickly adapting to the many challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The need is immediate and Banner Engineering is ready to help.
Safe work solutions help companies meet and overcome the challenges they face today so they can more effectively serve and support their customers, employees, and communities while they plan for the future.
We are able to draw on the largest catalog of automation products to create solutions that solve real problems. These solutions are designed to be easy to implement, built to perform reliably in challenging environments, and adapt to meet changing requirements and needs.
Safe work solutions utilize Banner's proven wireless technology. Solutions can be deployed quickly, without disruptive and time-consuming alterations to equipment or infrastructure. This design also reduces costs by eliminating the time, hassle, and expense of running communication wire to connect devices.
Safe work solutions feature bright, easy-to-see LED indicators. Communication is visual and universally understood using familiar green/yellow/red indication to inform and direct actions. Laser-etched icons can be used to enhance communication.
Safe work solutions scale and adapt to meet changing requirements. Devices can easily be added, moved, or removed. Indicators are available in a wide range of color and display options, including advanced animations to effectively communicate more complex information.
Safe work solutions can be configured to send notifications and alert staff and supervisors for a wide range of user-defined events, such as occupancy totals, assistance requests, and late tasks. Data can be collected and analyzed to identify customer trends, monitor performance, and verify compliance.
