Albert Titus, professor and chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering, is quoted in a story on Supply Chain Dive about how wearable technologies could be used to keep workers at safe distances and monitor their health as factories and warehouses reopen.
Titus said: There’s already "a fair amount of [Internet of Things] going into worker safety in manufacturing plants and warehouse handling. These kinds of wearables alert a worker if they get too close to something dangerous, like a live power line."
