Wearable sensor and laser beams to track workers
Bharat | Jul 4 2009

In my place of work there is no check on an employee’s movement, and me being one, I keep loitering around for most of the day all unchecked. Employers in Japan have an urge to know what their workers are up to and thus DSS has developed a system to record the actions of the factory workers, so thank God I’m not in Japan, to hell with my robotic fanaticism this time.

The system includes an ankle sensor, a milestone and a pocket video camera to record a worker’s movement, time of work and actions respectively. Equipped with a gyro sensor and an acceleration sensor, the ankle sensor tracks a worker’s coordinates and then records them in the embedded memory, and the milestone records entry and exit times of the workers with infrared beams, while the camera sitting in the pocket keeps track of your movement.
