Viper+ automates the monitoring of safety policies set at the beginning of a project. The policies define where “safe” and “unsafe” areas are, and the system detects any violations of the policies while employees and equipment are working, according to the release.
Viper+ utilizes ultra-wideband technology for location tracking, which Ansaripour said tracked locations more accurately compared to other wireless radios.
The first evaluation of the system was in 2019 on an 8,600-square-foot construction plot. Four students operated as workers in the tracking zone while Ansaripour managed the data flow of the system. In 2022, a similar scenario was set up at a different construction site.
