RFID Technology Helping Business Owners Curb the Spread of COVID-19

Quake Global announces the use of RFID technology for business owners to help protect staff during COVID-19.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology has the ability to provide business owners with data regarding how their employees move around in the office and how they interact with each other. This could prove useful to put procedures in place to reduce the risk of staff members passing the corona virus to each other. This reduces risk of the company having to close, staff isolating and the risk of the business closing as a result.

Contact tracing has become an essential part of tracking the virus and identifying who infected persons have been in contact with. Quake Global has been offering quality RFID systems for many years and believe their systems could be a useful tool in the office to reduce spreading the disease and identify how teams interact with each other, enabling business owners to put essential procedures in place to help them keep their staff and clients safe moving forward.

The most effective way to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus is to reduce contact with others, while ensuring you wash your hands regularly and wear a mask. With many employees back at work full time, the risk of coming in close a contact with each other is increased. RFID technology could be the effective solution to help business owners keep an eye on what their employee’s do, where they go and how they interact with each other during business hours, which can help make necessary changes to ensure their safety in the long run.

The majority of tracking systems rely on RFID, which offers accurate real time data. Retail shops and many manufacturers have been using this technology for forty years or more. It has been used for shipment tracking, to reduce shoplifting and more. The technology has moved into the medical sector and is proving highly effective in tracking patients, samples and equipment.

Paula Dycalco, the Director of Marketing at Quake Global, said RFID tags can be incorporated onto a lanyard which can be worn by employees while at work. It will track movements as they move throughout the building. Readers can be placed throughout the building on soap dispensers, sinks, doorways and more. This ensures that each employee can be tracked when they enter and exit offices, whether they wash their hands regularly and more. This real time information can be used by business owners to educate teams and put procedures in place to reduce the risk of spreading this terrible disease and help to protect staff moving forward.”
