Grace Industries announces the release of Grace Connected Safety®, a Connected Worker Safety Monitoring and Alerting System

Grace Connected Safety® uses the new Grace Cloud Connect™ Monitoring and Alerting Engine, supporting Grace Lone Worker System, with features including Fall Detection & Suspension Trauma Prevention products. Grace Cloud Connect™ solves the safety monitoring problem for workers in fixed or remote locations, who are working alone or at heights. Using cloud connectivity via ethernet, Wi-Fi, Iridium satellite, and cellular through a Grace Gateway, the worker’s safety status is monitored directly without the need for a third-party call center. Grace Cloud Connect™ uses a web-based portal to assign and schedule the subscriber’s own Monitoring Attendants; and to configure custom email and text notifications of safety-critical events. The system includes value-added I/O features useful for process control SCADA, door and gate entry, gas monitoring, weather warning or any other specialized system control application.

A Grace Connected Safety® System consists of worker worn Grace Pendants, Grace Gateways and Grace Cloud

Connect™. Grace Pendants include the popular TPASS®, SuperCELL® and WorkForce® models, featuring motion-sensing, fall- detection, distress-panic button, GPS, and location awareness. Pendant choices include intrinsically safe models with audible, visual and optional vibrating alerts. Grace Gateway connectivity choices include fixed location or mobile; using ethernet, Wi-Fi, Cellular and/or Iridium Satellite to facilitate Grace’s patented SALTi™ bi-directional RF wireless secure signaling between a worker’s Pendant and Grace Cloud Connect™. The Grace Cloud Connect™ Monitoring and Alerting Engine is a web-browser Portal Dashboard accessible from any PC, Tablet, Smart-phone or mobile device with Internet connectivity. Grace Cloud Connect™ can easily be configured to support an organization’s standard operating procedures including periodic worker check-ins.

Response time is critical for a worker in distress, Grace Cloud Connect™ provides rapid notification of an alarm including the worker’s GPS location; accessible from a text or email map-link.
