ProblemTechnology
"Many offices had to shut down due to COVID-19. When they reopened, they had to implement social distancing rules to keep people safe. But it was difficult to manage, and it was hard to tell if people were keeping their distance. "
Solution
"PointGrab creates smart sensors that use machine learning and computer vision to track people's movements. These sensors can help businesses maintain social distancing in their offices, keep track of cleaning schedules, and understand how people are using their space. This makes it easier for offices to reopen safely and efficiently. "
