Trakopolis and Honeywell Expand IoT Partnership for Connected Workers

By Ken Briodagh April 11, 2017

Trakopolis IoT and Honeywell recently have announced that they will renew and expand their ongoing partnership to market Honeywell’s ConneXt Loneworker safety solution. Protecting workers is an important element of the Industrial IoT world, not only because it’s, well, the right thing to do, but because workplace injuries and lost time on the job can directly impact productivity and even cause downtime.

In connection with entering into the renewed agreement, Trakopolis and Honeywell have said they will expand their joint sales and marketing efforts globally. In addition, the companies will collaborate on strategies to use the Trakopolis IoT Platform with other Honeywell connected safety products.

“We're excited to broaden our partnership with Honeywell,” said Brent Moore, CEO, Trakopolis. “The renewal of this exclusive agreement is a result of both companies' belief in the ConneXt Loneworker product, and its efforts to continue to develop innovative, connected solutions.”

Honeywell's ConneXt Loneworker is designed to help companies ensure the safety of workers in the energy, utility and construction industries, whose employees often work in remote locations out of cell phone range. The solution includes a wearable, wireless gas detector, a satellite uplink for the worker's vehicle and Cloud technology from Trakopolis to optimize field operations. The technology also enables workers to alert the company immediately if they become injured and need help – even if they are out of cell phone range. 

“Honeywell safety products help protect more than 500 million workers around the world every day,” said Ken Schmidt, GM, Gas Detection, Honeywell Industrial Safety. “We believe connected safety solutions using Trakopolis' Cloud technology will help us to better protect workers and provide employers with the data and intelligence they need to improve their operations' productivity and efficiency.”
