All it needs is some cameras and WiFi. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can identify numerous risks, from a forklift driving recklessly, a person who\u2019s slipped and fallen, or someone who forgot to wear their hard hat again (we\u2019re looking at you, Joe). It can even tell if workers have bad posture.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you freak out that you\u2019re going to be ratted out to your boss by AI, Buddywise ensures us that all the data is anonymous. Unlike many monitoring systems that store all video captured, its algorithm analyses video feeds in real time, without storing data. \u201cNo facial recognition is used and we never identify subjects,\u201d the company says on its website.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All this info gets fed into a dashboard, where you can measure your safety performance over time. You can tell the AI to focus on certain risks and to only send alerts for the types of incidents you want it to.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Armed with fresh capital, Buddywise aims to grow its team with \u201ctop tech talent\u201d and expand its customer base across Europe.
