Rufus Labs Launches Proximity Alerts to Improve Warehouse Safety

November 19, 2020
SupplyChainBrain

Rufus Labs, a producer of intelligent wearable warehouse technology and workforce analytics software, recently announced the launch of Proximity Alerts via its suite of warehouse wearables including The Rufus Cuff, ScanGlove, PalmScan and Rufus RingScan.

"Now is the perfect time to launch Rufus Proximity Alerts across our wearables as warehouses scale up in the face of this year's unique peak season," said Gabe Grifoni, Founder and CEO of Rufus Labs. "Each worker equipped with a wearable provides increased visibility providing a much-needed sense for where every worker is within the warehouse, which leads to increased safety and efficiency within warehouses at a time when they need it most.”

Wearable technology in the warehouse provides accurate visibility into warehouse worker location, efficiency and safety. Rufus Labs integrated Proximity Alerts across all devices with haptics built in to notify users when they are within 6-feet of one another. Unlike typical handheld scanners, a warehouse wearable provides alerts when a person is too close to another worker, rather than alerting based on the position of the tool, which can be laid down or left behind.

All Rufus Labs customers always receive the latest software and hardware as a part of the subscription offering, including the latest Proximity Alerts launch. This ensures that Rufus customers are equipped with the latest technology that increases warehouse productivity, safety and accuracy. The WorkHero subscription is also scalable so customers adjust based on seasonal need, and because the technology is designed for ease-of-use and integrates seamlessly into the WMS, customers can start using Rufus technology immediately.
