As workers in manufacturing environments continued to execute their jobs amid COVID-19, actual conditions made it very difficult for them to follow recommended physical distancing standards.

Struggling to assure staff that their work space was safe, Promark president Jarred Knecht collaborated with John Soares and Steve Zimmermann at CMP to design a device that would ensure employees keep a safe distance under social distancing protocols during the pandemic.
