\"\"After two years of R&D and testing in live environments, UK start up Tended had received product acceptance from Network Rail for its first of a kind geofencing wearable safety solution.<\/p>

The geofencing wearable features a high tech, rugged wearable accompanied by a planning dashboard. The solution enables organisations to easily map out geofence zones over their worksites. The geofencing solution achieves cm-level accuracy without any additional infrastructure requirements allowing a quick and easy set up.<\/p>

Geofences are used to define hazardous or safe areas helping worker carry out their work safely. Workers are given a small wearable device that provides real time alerts if they approach the geofence boundary, alerting them of potential danger.<\/p>

Tended has partnered with Unipart Rail to deploy the solution across the rail networks. Together they plan to deliver the geofencing wearable safety solution as a hired, leased, managed service.<\/p>

Tended\u2019s CEO and founder, Leo Scott Smith, commented: \u201cSafety in the rail industry is critical. Working with Network Rail, we\u2019ve heard first-hand how workers have had seconds to jump out of the way of high-speed trains. Every incident on the rail network causes major disruption whether it\u2019s caused by an accident or a piece of equipment left on the track; they can lead to huge costs and delays.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cNow that we have product acceptance, we are excited to bring innovation into this safety-critical industry, empower people to work in confidence and help ensure that every worker can return home to their family after every shift.\u201d<\/p>
