A revolutionary safety helmet is set to hit the UK market next year, integrating advanced sensor technology.
- Developed by Scandinavia’s Båstadgruppen, the Guardio Armet PRO is the world’s first helmet with Quin sensor technology.
- This innovative helmet monitors falls and impacts, sending alerts if safety thresholds are breached.
- The sensor technology measures motion in three dimensions 1,000 times per second to ensure wearers’ safety.
- Designed in collaboration with Swedish contractor Arcona, the helmet enhances practical functionality for users.
The Guardio Armet PRO helmet, developed by Båstadgruppen in Scandinavia, is poised to introduce a new era in construction safety when it becomes available in the UK next year. This helmet stands out as the first of its kind globally to incorporate Quin sensor technology, offering unprecedented levels of safety and monitoring capabilities in one package.
This cutting-edge helmet is designed to detect falls and impacts, crucially sending automatic alerts if the wearer’s safety is compromised. The alerts are sent through the wearer’s mobile connection to pre-registered contacts, ensuring prompt emergency response and support when needed. This feature could significantly reduce the response time in accidents, proving vital in serious situations.
The sophistication of the Quin sensor technology lies in its ability to measure motion and forces in three dimensions 1,000 times per second. Such precision allows the helmet to provide a detailed analysis in case of incidents, determining whether emergency assistance is essential. This high-frequency monitoring addresses a critical need in environments where the risk of falls or collisions is high.
Moreover, the helmet tracks the wearer’s safe movement within designated areas. If a worker fails to return to a safe zone as expected, the system triggers an emergency alert. This functionality not only assists in accident response but also serves as a continuous monitoring tool to ensure safety compliance on-site.
The development of the Armet PRO involved collaboration with Swedish construction firm Arcona, which provided valuable insights into the helmet’s practical functionalities. This partnership aimed at refining the product to meet the specific needs of end-users in the construction industry, ensuring it not only offers safety but is also user-friendly in demanding work environments.
The Armet PRO helmet represents a significant advancement in safety technology, setting a new benchmark for worker protection in construction.
