Wachter

Top Executive: Brian Sloan, CEO

Watchter is using its IT and operational technology expertise to provide IoT solutions geared toward keeping workers and customers safe amid the pandemic.

The Lenexa, Kan.-based solution provider has developed four solutions focused around scanning body temperature; monitoring social distancing and contact tracing; touchless meetings; and sanitation.

With ContactWatch, for instance, the company has partnered with AiRISTA Flow to provide a small Bluetooth- and Wi-Fi-enabled tag that employees wear. The tag then makes a sound or flashes lights if two people come within six feet of each other, and the location and time of the interaction is recorded in a back-end system so that the employer can monitor “hotspots.”
