Digitised physical distancing

The solution also includes a contact tracing application that is easily added to existing ID cards

The solution also includes a contact tracing application that uses the same HID BEEKS Aware fob or a BEEKS badge/badge holder that is easily added to existing ID cards. This provides a full digital trail of an employee’s whereabouts and historical interactions while at work, enabling rapid response to cases so isolation procedures can be activated as needed.

"Leaders will have the ability to provide complete and differentiating capabilities as part of their indoor location offerings. This includes global service and support.
