Reactec and Cirrus Research collaborate to create a connected worker environment

Data from both Reactecโ€™s HAVwear watch and Cirrus Researchโ€™s doseBadge5 Noise Dosimeter can be collected by Reactecโ€™s RASOR an IoT product, for transmission to the Reactec hosted Analytics. Field data is therefore available live for remote supervisors and managers to know first-hand what health risks their deployed workers are facing and be automatically alerted if these risks reach unacceptable levels.

In keeping with the increasing demand for employers to see real-time data of their employeeโ€™s environment, this Reactec and Cirrus Research collaboration enables users of both companiesโ€™ technology to benefit from a single data repository and reporting platform. Presenting data in a single environment should materially improve an organisations ability to effect meaningful measures to manage their employeeโ€™ risk.

Jacqui McLaughlin, Chief Executive of Reactec said: โ€œWe are excited about our collaboration with Cirrus Research who is a respected leader in noise dosimetry with decades of experience advancing the field of noise measurement. In launching RASOR we see the possibility of many more such partnerships to allow employers to more effectively and efficiently manage the wide range of risks their employees faceโ€.

Martin Ellison, Head of Sales and Marketing at Cirrus Research added: โ€œThe opportunity to work with Reactec and develop a joint solution that helps protect and create awareness for workers in many environments, continues to fulfil the Cirrus Research philosophy of innovation, development and advancementโ€.
