Telefónica Tech and Halotech introduced a connected worker-safety solution for the U.S. market, combining Halotech AI with Telefónica’s Kite managed IoT connectivity platform. The offering pairs Halotech’s SaaS safety platform with HALO wearable devices — including HALO I, HALO III and HALO III+ — to capture and transmit operator data in real time across industrial environments.
The solution uses Kite’s device-management capabilities and IoT Data Ready functionality to securely integrate, process and transmit data from connected devices to Halotech AI. The platform provides features such as SOS alerts, automatic fall detection, real-time geolocation, environmental monitoring, smart virtual perimeters, risk-zone control and anti-collision capabilities. It is designed for sectors including energy, construction, mining, refineries and smart cities.
By transforming wearable-device data into real-time and predictive operational insights, the platform aims to help organizations improve worker safety, increase efficiency and support EH&S compliance. The companies said the approach can reduce workplace incidents by up to 60%, while enabling centralized management of connected devices and faster decision-making in the field.
