How a startup that works with Toyota and Walmart is repurposing smart devices to track social distancing and contract-tracing for industrial workers

StrongArm Technologies' traditional business is focused on protecting industrial workers via the analysis of data collected through smart devices worn by employees. Algorithms allow the platform to use the data to understand what leads to work-place injuries and how to help employees avoid them in the future.

"We could just use our technology to help augment what the [environmental, health, and safety] professionals are having trouble maintaining just because there's so much volume. There's so much chaos, and there's so many more responsibilities," he added.Warehouse properties are suddenly red-hot, with Amazon snapping up space while ailing companies sell. Here's a look at key deals and market forecasts that lay out a huge opportunity for industrial real-estate.

A step further would be leveraging the tech for contract tracing — understanding which employees were exposed to an employee who tested positive. StrongArm's efforts are an example of the potential benefits smart devices — also known as the Internet of Things or IoT — can have when it comes to companies trying to understand how to safely return to work.
