NetCloud Container Orchestrator Provides A Seamless Experience for Connectivity and Management
Safe Workplace IoT Solution
In 2020, Rigado - a leader in low-power edge networks for IoT applications - joined Cradlepoint's Technology Alliance Partner program. Their announcement of entry into the program was coupled with the news that they were launching their new Safe Workplace IoT solution, powered by Cradlepoint and NCCO. With Safe Workplace, Rigado's solution became the first to utilize NCCO for deploying and managing application containers on its wireless routers.
The Safe Workplace IoT solution was developed to help organizations comply with the various workplace safety guidelines issued by local authorities and CDC guidelines during the Covid-19 pandemic. By leveraging an open IoT architecture and their Edge Connect platform, Rigado offers a comprehensive solution that automates processes, tracks occupancy and movement, and notifies the administration of potential compliance issues.
With integrated camera and sensor technologies, the Safe Workplace solution provides essential functions such as occupancy monitoring, cleaning management, and safety signage for common areas, restrooms, and desks.
As businesses began welcoming employees back to their offices and workplaces, they needed to adhere to newly developed guidelines. These guidelines include checks for shared spaces, desk occupancy, social distancing, cleaning status, and reporting on employee and visitor movement via badging and tagging.
However, monitoring and enforcing these policies can take a lot of work, especially for larger organizations that have to manage and track thousands of people. IoT solutions with integrated camera and sensor technologies help to reduce this burden by minimizing human interactions, automating processes, tracking occupancy and movement, and notifying administration of compliance issues.
Rigado's Safe Workplace solution is based on its Edge Connect platform and helps to provide the compliance required for workplace safety under Covid-19 protocols by using an open IoT architecture with plug-and-play cameras, applications, sensors, and devices.
Safe Workplace utilizes Cradlepoint wireless routers to create reliable and secure connections between Rigado IoT gateways and the applications hosted in Microsoft Azure IoT Central. This eliminates the traditional need for integration between Application Program Interfaces (APIs) and third-party sensors and devices, which often slows the deployment of innovative new solutions and limits the diversity of available IoT devices.
