CASELLA SUPPORTS RETURN TO WORK WITH ORBI-TRACE
SMART-TAG OFFER As millions of employees begin returning to work without mandatory social distancing and mask wearing, maintaining a safe ‘new normal’ is at the front of everyone’s minds.

For those mediating employee privacy concerns, the Orbi-Trace system is also fully GDPR compliant.
The Orbi-Trace smart tag can also be adapted with additional infrastructure to form real-time location systems (RTLS) and support the key goals of the lean manufacturing process; improving efficiency, reducing waste and

increasing productivity. RTLS can track the indoor location of people and equipment in real time, meaning people can be excluded from certain zones, which can be a huge benefit for safety and security. In addition, the tags can be used to keep people away from hazards such as moving vehicles, which can reduce risk within a workplace.
RTLS can enhance an organisation’s top-down understanding of ever Simplify your reporting ything happening in its manufacturing outfit, for example, by allowing the most time-consuming tasks for employees to be identified, or by recognising poorly optimised manufacturing floor layouts that can be adapted to make a lean operation even more efficient.
