The Technicalities
After spending time looking into the technicalities of hand washing and all recommendations published, viewing content and videos of how you should best achieve the perfect hand wash. Software Imaging started looking into how technology could provide a solution to this problem which is facing many industries and organisations around the world.
In search for the optimum technique for washing your hands and managing employee’s technique and compliance to the process, hand washing rules and organisational regulations. For food factories/food manufacturing/health centres/hospitals and organisations in need of compliance and managed hand washing techniques. Software Imaging has developed a camera-based monitoring system that uses AI & Machine Learning.
This allows employers to monitor employees hand washing techniques. Capturing individual employee data through facial recognition or employee tag of techniques adopted, time spent and inappropriate behaviour. It allows us to alert employees at the time of hand washing that their process was good or bad and rules can be set to allow alerts to managers for repeated bad behaviour.
It can go further through integration with door management systems we can even deny acccess to restricted areas if their hand washing technique was not compliant at the last wash. The technology using AI will learn employees’ habits. The system will help to build an optimum satisfactory.
