Amazon is using cameras that can detect if warehouse workers are following social distancing rules
Amazon is launching cameras and software at its warehouses that can detect whether an employee has violated social distancing rules.
The camera systems, which Amazon refers to as "Distance Assistants," provide employees with real-time feedback on social distancing as they walk through a warehouse. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises keeping six feet away from another person when possible. As employees walk past the camera, circles overlaid on the monitor indicate whether they're maintaining proper distancing. If an employee is following the rules, the circle appears green and if they're too close to another person, the circle flashes red. It's unclear if Amazon will take further action once an employee is flagged as violating distancing rules.
So far, the technology has been implemented at a "handful" of warehouses, but Amazon expects to roll it out to hundreds of facilities within weeks, said Brad Porter, a distinguished engineer and vice president of Amazon Robotics, in a blog post.
