Ericsson, in partnership with Sigma Connectivity and Mobilaris, is helping to advance the next generation of 5G workforce safety for Industry 4.0.

To address and improve work safety at industrial sites such as mining and production floors, the combination of 5G and cellular “Internet of Things” (IoT)  technology brings industries closer to a zero vision of workforce-related accidents.

Industrial sites can be dangerous work environments. Ericsson's latest cellular IoT design has been applied in the Mobilaris' device. Industry 4.0 users can benefit from making complex work safety simple. The Mobilaris 5G-ready device offers proximity triggers and collision alerts using sensors, monitoring and real-time positioning of people, vehicles and moving assets.

The companies have jointly developed Mobilaris Companion, a cellular IoT device with secure, high-quality and durable asset tracking, to improve workplace safety at industrial sites such as mining and production floors. The wearable device leverages IoT technologies such as 5G and UWB to collects information and positioning data in real-time and provides proximity triggers and collision alerts if anything threatens their safety.

The 5G-ready device uses air quality and motion sensors that can automatically react to dangerous gas emissions, humidity levels, barometric pressure and temperature. The IP65-approved device can withstand the most challenging industrial environments,

Mobilaris Companion is now available and certified for use in Europe, North America and Australia.
