A tech firm in Peterborough is using its expertise to ensure social distancing in the workplace

The Remark Group, based in Flaxley Road, Kingston Park, has created a social distancing detection system that shows when staff are not at least two metres from colleagues.

Josh Farrell, technical director, said: “Our solution automatically measures rates to produce distancing data, complimenting health and safety best practices.

“The data is monitored in real-time and can send alerts and updates to Facilities Managers where people aren’t abiding by the two-metre rule.

“The solution can check existing workplace camera feeds for hotspots many times a day and can determine which areas need a social distancing fix.”

The firm also has a solution that works with an employer’s video surveillance camera that can function as a queue monitor, to detect if staff are abiding by the two metre rule and keeping to the designated chevrons.

Mr Farrell said: “Our solution will work with medium-traffic office spaces or a high-traffic workplace and provides a solution at the forefront of business technology, whilst ensuring workplace wellbeing.”
