RFID Helps Stop Vibration Injuries

I guess everyone is familiar with the most common uses of RFID - tagging pets for example and keeping track of stock or corporate assets - but we have a few users that get into more interesting areas.

One of our partners - Reactec Ltd - has just posted a great video of their application where they use RFID enabled data collection devices to keep track of workers exposure to vibration in the workplace. This helps them to reduce the risks of industrial injury from machines like angle grinders, compressed air drills and the like. It's in areas like these that RFID seems to me to offer some quick paybacks for relatively little investment.
