Wearable Safety Tech Impact! Case Study: High-Volume Beverage Warehouse & Distribution Operation

The scene: a high-volume warehousing and distribution business in the beverage industry, covering the Western United States and employing thousands across multiple sites. Managing safety risks across a vast territory and workforce posed significant challenges. Strain and exertion injuries were a recurring issue, along with concerns about worker productivity and high operational costs. Leadership needed actionable data to reduce injuries, improve safety culture and enhance operational efficiency. In this session, you’ll learn how the company adopted connected worker wearables and a safety data analytics platform to monitor physicality data, environmental hazards and worker safety trends. What started with a pilot of 40 workers over 90 days rapidly scaled as results became evident. Today, it’s deployed at eight sites, with plans to cover all facilities company-wide. The result: zero strain and exertion injuries; no workers’ comp claims; dramatic improvement in hazard identification, culture and worker engagement; and astounding productivity increases.
