For Manufacturing Facilities
Founded in 1927, Evyap is a soap and personal care product manufacturer reaching more than 100 countries with brands such as Duru, Arko Men, Arko Nem, Evy Baby, Fax and ActiveX. Investing heavily in innovative technologies and R&D, Evyap has become one of the leading manufacturers in Turkey. Evyap owns production facilities in 3 countries and employes more than 4.000 employees.The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about challenges for all industries, however industries employing frontline essential workers were impacted the most. For manufacturing facilities with a large workforce and complex operations, the risk of transmission is very significant. Due to the increased risk of transmission after reaching a certain distance between people, there is a need to control it, record it and put in place a warning mechanism within the facilities.
IoT Solution to Support Traditional Social Distancing and Contact Tracing Methods
Evyap has a large workforce employed in their head office and soap and glycerin production facilities, which makes it challenging to achieve universal and facility-wide compliance to social distancing rules. For this reason, Türk Traktör sought a digital, data-driven solution to protect the health of its employees and to ensure the continuity of their production.
We reached Evyap through our partner Türk Telekom with Safe Steps, an IoT solution that tracks proximity and allows relevant departments to monitor social distance compliance and violations through a management panel. Safe Steps wearable devices assigned to employees and vsitors activate when they are in risky close proximity to another device and communicate with signals using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology, which allows for interactions to be monitored on the management panel without tracking the location of the user. The users are notified through their wearable devices with an auditory and visual warning sign when they initially break social distance. The interactions are recorded and used for filiation to see employees who are at risk of transmission.
