Integrated
Self screening, Thermal screening, Social Distance Compliance and Contact
Tracing to help companies combat the spread of COVID-19
Birlasoft Ltd [BSE: 532400, NSE: BSOFT], part of the USD 2.4 billion
diversified, The CK
Birla Group, has launched intelliOpen™ - an integrated digital solution
using IoT, Analytics, AI, and wearables to strengthen return-to-work
strategies, and support companies to restart and operate businesses with
confidence.
When employees or visitors enter a business facility, they expect
companies to take necessary precautions to help protect them from the spread of
COVID-19. Birlasoft enables companies to put this protection in place.
intelliOpen is an intelligent system for enabling and integrating four
important components of protection: Self screening, Thermal Screening, Social
Distance Compliance and Contact Tracing. The solution adheres to the required
regulatory compliance for maintaining data privacy and confidentiality.
Companies across industries need to establish and monitor new health and
safety measures that help combat the spread of COVID-19. It is important to
de-escalate workplaces from becoming hotspots for spread of the virus, which
can cause business operations to be suspended. The spread can primarily happen
due to inability to trace contacts who came in proximity of an infected person
during the asymptomatic phase. Digital technologies provide a proactive
mechanism to keep the spread under control.
Sharing his thoughts at the launch, Ajit Singh Chawla, SVP & Global Head, Digital Business
Unit, Birlasoft said, "Both lives and livelihoods are important.
Through intelliOpen, Birlasoft uses digital technologies to empower its
customers to make their facilities safer during and post-COVID-19 situation.
intelliOpen can help our customers in Manufacturing, Retail, Airline,
Hospitality, Energy & Utilities, Life Sciences, BFSI, Real Estate and other
industries."
intelliOpen is built using Birlasoft’s award-winning platform –
intelliAsset™ and is powered by Microsoft Azure. Azure Platform-as-a-Service
makes intelliOpen quick to deploy, highly available, and scalable across global
facilities. intelliOpen uses Azure Cognitive Services, which enhances the
experience for social distancing compliance and contactless operations. Data
visualization capabilities of Microsoft Power BI provides companies with rich
insights and dashboards.
Venkat Krishnan, Executive
Director, Commercial Partners, Microsoft India said,
"As businesses gradually reopen in the process of economic recovery,
employers will have to monitor the health and safety of the workforce. Our
highly secure and scalable cloud platform enables intelliOpen™ in managing this
critical activity for organizations across industries."
intelliOpen integrates with time and attendance and security access
systems, thereby, delivering the value of a connected enterprise. It
automatically alerts EHS and facility management teams in the event of any
detections and/or non-compliance of social distancing norms. It can help in
restricting access of symptomatic or COVID-19 positive cases into the
facilities so they can be provided with timely medical aid and guidance. It
also provides rich, geography-wise dashboards and reports for monitoring and
compliance purposes.
John Westfield, ISG Partner -
Consumer Services said, "ISG has clients and prospects that are
looking for an adaptive solution to safeguard employees while maintaining
individual privacy. Birlasoft has quickly stepped up to create a solution that
can integrate with current enterprise hardware - including Thermal imaging
devices - and seamlessly integrate with pre-existing HR systems for tracking,
reporting, and employee well-being during these ever-changing times. Employee
safety and peace of mind will certainly continue to be a top priority and
adaptive solutions like Birlasoft’s intelliOpen hits the mark in terms of
seamless integration, social distancing and contact tracing options, data
analytics, and timely digital innovation."
During these trying times, helping every organization to survive,
recover and return to business as usual is among the top priorities of
management teams worldwide. Birlasoft intelliOpen™ provides a much-needed
defence as part of the return-to-work strategy of businesses across the globe.
