  • The "Device" runs on the Intels Edison platform which is an x86 architecture
    • Rugged design for industrial and harsh environments
    • OLED display
    • 15 hours of battery life
    • Advance IMU for tracking motion
    • Records and tracks employee motion to help reduce high risk moves and lifts
    • Quantifies how many high risk moves and lifts a person does
    • Can give supervisors data on equipment improperly setup, EX: Table too short or parts stored too high
