It’s been over a year and worldwide countries continue to reel under the different waves of the Covid-19 pandemic. India is in the midst of dealing with a severe second wave and is said to be paying the price for letting the guard down. As we bravely learn to live with the virus, the return to workplace safety is reigning as of utmost importance to organisations. Manufacturing units are no exceptions here! Following similar Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) devised around social distancing albeit their need for customised offerings were learned off by the end of the first lockdown itself, in the first quarter of the fiscal (Q1FY2021). The DROR Enterprise application built in collaboration with New Delhi-based MetalMan Auto Pvt. Ltd., among the first personal safety applications was built way back in 2018. Built as a personal safety app., then, the makers continued to adapt and fine-tune the platform for emergency services and healthcare requirements circling around Covid-19. Averred Dhiraj Naubhar Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer at DROR, the requirements were basic and not complicated from most of the manufacturing units. There is a layer of customisation with IoT capabilities over and above the tracking and tracing capability that is being demanded which we are working on for future iterations. However, we are content in terms of being able to meet most operational requirements at manufacturers.”
