Jakub Nikonowicz, PhD (Institute of Multimedia Telecommunications) and his team received funds to carry out research under the SI Baltic Sea Neighborhood Program

The project focuses on creating safe working conditions in dynamically evolving automated industries. The industrial sector in developed countries, especially in the Baltic Sea region, is constantly evolving, posing challenges related to the safety of workers. Within this project, we are developing an innovative workforce location management system aimed at minimizing the risk of accidents and injuries in industrial areas through real-time monitoring of people, vehicles, assets, and potential threats.

Eurostat's 2020 report highlights 2.7 million cases of accidents at work, and our project focuses on effectively counteracting this phenomenon. With the use of traffic analysis and modern positioning technologies in mobile networks, we create a flexible solution that can be adapted to various industrial settings. The project aims not only to ensure the safety of employees but also to create new prospects for industry in the Baltic Sea region.
