Axis regularly speaks to decision makers across a wide range of industries and sectors about how its innovative solutions can help them face their challenges and achieve their goals. Digital transformation, the power of cloud and the ease of connectivity using the Internet of Things (IoT), means that the possibilities are now almost endless when it comes to utilising technology to improve operations and services. In fact, use cases are often limited only by a lack of vision around what is possible as the technology rapidly evolves.

With developers working to get the most from cameras and sensors, connected to open platforms that facilitate collaboration with third-party technologies, it’s time for businesses to work closely with providers to determine how best the technology can work for them. This might include improvements to services; automating legacy processes to make them more productive and their outcomes more meaningful. By considering one industry and looking at an application of integrated and connected technology we can see what’s currently possible and how rapidly developing technology can help businesses achieve their future objectives as requirements dictate.

Alarmingly, it has been reported that in the U.S. 84% of fatal head injuries are sustained by employees not wearing head protection, and research shows deaths and injuries are increasing.
