Herta Awarded the Highly Competitive “COVID-19 Response Seal of Excellence” From the European Commission
BARCELONA, Spain, June 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — In May 2020, Herta was awarded with the COVID-19 Seal of Excellence certificate delivered by the European Commission (EC) for the project AWARE.
Seal Of Excellence Herta
AWARE was sent for evaluation to the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator Pilot. As stated by the EC, the EIC Accelerator Pilot offers Europe’s brightest and boldest entrepreneurs the chance to step forward and request funding for breakthrough ideas with the potential to create entirely new markets or revolutionize existing ones. Highly innovative SMEs with a clear commercial ambition and a potential for high growth and internationalization are the prime target. The 20th of March 2020, the EC made an urgent call through the EIC Accelerator Pilot for technologies and innovations that could help in treating, testing, monitoring or other aspects of the Coronavirus outbreak.
The COVID-19 Seal of Excellence is a highly competitive quality label awarded to project proposals which were evaluated to have a high excellence and impact to deserve funding in this special call, but did not receive it due to current EC’s budgetary constraints.
AWARE proposes a hybrid edge and distributed solution for advanced video analytics, including real-time face recognition and crowd behaviour analysis. Part of the computing pipeline is executed on-premise, on low-power and small-size edge stations using Deep Neural Network accelerator hardware. This allows saving costs and increasing system’s scalability, efficiency and ease-of-installation. HERTA’s cutting-edge algorithms, which are able to identify people even when wearing masks and monitor crowd density, are integrated in the solution. The automatic control of social distancing and the identification of persons in access controls without the need of removing masks become vitally important to control the spread of COVID-19, and are Herta’s main focus to fight against the pandemic.
Safe Spacer™ wearable social distance monitor/alarm helps keep people safe and workplaces or public spaces open
MODENA, Italy, May 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Safe Spacer™ is a lightweight wearable device that helps workers and visitors to maintain safe social distancing, enabling workplaces and public spaces to re-open and operate with peace of mind.
Using Ultra-wideband technology, Safe Spacer runs wirelessly on a rechargeable battery and precisely senses when other devices come within 2m/6ft, alerting wearers with a choice of visual, vibrating or audio alarm.
Simple to use, Safe Spacer features a patent-pending algorithm that works immediately out of the box, with no set-up or special infrastructure needed and can be comfortably worn on a wristband, with a lanyard, or carried in a pocket. It offers ultra-precise measurement down to 10cm/4” – ten times more accurate than Bluetooth applications.
Beyond factories, warehouses and offices, Safe Spacer can also be used by visitors of public spaces such as schools, hospitals, gyms, museums, hotels, casinos and more. Engineered for fast, easy disinfection, it’s also waterproof. For minimal handling, Safe Spacer works wirelessly via NFC contactless technology or Bluetooth.
Each device features a unique ID tag and built-in memory to optionally associate with workers’ names for tracing any unintentional contact. To maintain high privacy standards, no data except the device’s ID and proximity is stored.
For advanced workplace use, an optional iOS/Android app allows human resources or safety departments to associate IDs to specific workers, log and export daily tracing without collecting sensitive data, configure the alarms, set custom distance/alert thresholds and more.
Safe Spacer is Made in Italy and developed by IK Multimedia – the leader in music creation hardware and software products for iPhone®, iPad® and Mac/PC for the last 25 years, with experience creating wireless enabled audio products and apps. CEO Enrico Iori shares:
"We created Safe Spacer to help our Italian factory workers maintain safe distance during re-opening. It’s easy to use, fast to deploy, private, and secure, so it can be used comfortably in any situation. We hope this solution helps other companies feel secure as they re-open, too."
Safe Spacer will be available in early Q3 directly from IK Multimedia for $/€99.99 (excluding taxes), with volume discounts available.
