ok2work und ok2open: Two areas, one concept for intelligent contact tracing in companies and for events.
Lower Risk
Vaccination, testing, and proximity tracing can significantly reduce risk. pre- and post-pandemic.
Made in Germany
The portable devices are manufactured in Zittau, the electronics are developed in Dresden, the software comes from Berlin, and operation is located in Frankfurt am Main.
Cost Reduction
Via AI-driven risk analysis, vaccination, use of proximity tracing, the need for testing drops sharply, the result is cost reduction.
Scalability
Arbitrary scaling of time2open by backend systems in German data centers. Proximity tracing works without personal data.
ok2open and ok2work are the two areas of the time2open concept, tailored to meet the particular requirements for electronic contact tracing:
ok2open
The ok2open area covers the temporary use of proximity tracing. This addresses events, cultural institutions, or sporting events. Tickets are issued and taken out at the entrance or exit; existing ticket solutions are supported.
The goal is a fast opening of concerts, theaters, sports, and many other events where electronic contact tracing is required only for the visit.
ok2work
For permanent use, ok2work provides the necessary functions for companies or the travel industry – electronic contact tracing is implemented for a longer period of time and can be permanently integrated into existing processes.
The goal is to provide traceability of potential infections to reduce downtime in companies, hotels, cruises or tourist areas.
Proximity Tracing/Contact Tracing
The system relies on wearables for privacy-compliant, electronic contact tracing. Encounters from contact situations are registered, but no personal movement profiles are created for data protection reasons. The wearables exchange anonymous random codes via Bluetooth and enable seamless tracing of infection chains in the event of infection. Although risk-based screening tests already significantly reduce the overall risk for the company and its workforce, they cannot guarantee absolute safety from cases of infection, even with vaccinations. Contact tracing enables a reduction in testing after infection cases have occurred, as only those employees who have actually encountered each other need to be tested. This can prevent the uncontrolled spread of the virus in the company from the beginning.
Contact Tracing Using Wearables
Previously used strategies and measures, such as plant closures, reduced staff presence, or spatial separation, may have helped in the first COVID-19 wave, but are difficult to sustain in the long term. That’s why we developed ok2work, a novel, holistic approach to pandemic prevention for businesses. In addition to selective, proactive testing of at-risk groups, seamless, in-house contact tracing using wearables is a fundamental component of the concept.
Strategies For Safe Work Environments.
Während manche Mitarbeiter im Homeoffice ihrer Tätigkeit nachgehen können, ist dies für andere Bereiche nicht möglich. Insbesondere in der Produktion, im Vertrieb, in der Lebensmittelindustrie, in der Gastronomie, Reisebranche, in der Altenpflege und weiteren Dienstleistungssegmenten ist die Zusammenarbeit mit anderen Personen unverzichtbar. Unternehmen benötigen daher eine Strategie und wirkungsvolle Maßnahmen, um Mitarbeiter und Kunden vor Infektionen mit dem Corona-Virus zu schützen.
Strategies For Safe Events
Despite vaccinations and tests, there will be the obligation of electronic contact tracing and combination with personalized tickets and presence solutions. The ok2open system allows to record for the time of the events, the encounters of devices. This data will be evaluated after a possible infection report, and only afterwards will be matched by the event organizer with the ticket IDs of the visitors. Instead of all visitors that would need to be contacted in an in-person solution, ok2open narrows this number down to only those visitors who were actually within critical distance, and also takes into account vaccinations, test results, and other factors.
ok2open
Concerts, Sports Events, Museums, Clubs: Use ok2open to easily add the required electronic contact tracing for visitors and guests.
ok2work
Enterprises and Tourism: ok2work protects employees, avoid testing overhead, reduces risk and cost. Proximity tracing for your HR.
Your Benefit
By utilizing the electronic ok2open contact tracing it’s easily to quickly bring your events to a commercially reasonable potential.
Privacy
No personal data is stored on the device or the ok2open system. It is not necessary to record the personal data for the system, as any entrance ticket is already personalized. ok2open only looks at the portable devices.
Easy & confortable
No smartphone or app is required; ok2open can be used simply by wearing, plugging in, or rehanging the wearable devices.
Easy to use – no installation or additional infrastructure required
Made in Germany
ok2open hardware and software are 100% developed in Germany by German companies. Quality and privacy are paramount.
ok2open does not require any personal data or accounts: Anonymous and transparent, verifiable at any time.
Also for enterprises: ok2work
With ok2open, the culture can pick up speed again. The ok2open principle will also remain usable in non-pandemic times to ensure operational processes at all times. For companies, this means plannability and safety, as well as protecting the health of all employees in the company: ok2work.
Protect the workforce even in the post-pandemic period with ok2work
Minimize risk.
Generate trust.
ok2work for companies is the trusted platform when it comes to contact tracing. People are not monitored, encounters are registered.
Integration
