Description
Labor shortages in poultry processing plants has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Improving ergonomics of repetitive manual jobs can reduce worker injuries, absenteeism and turnover. A new platform technology uses a simple, low-profile wearable that collects essential performance metrics that can be used to incentivize workers, maintain work-life quality for retention and better manage productivity in real-time.
