LoraWAN smart-helmet
Fundamental challenges for safety services is that they need to control whether the workers wear safety devices all the time.
The solution provides information about impacts or falling in working site, weather conditions (temperature, humidity). Additional sensors can be attached (Oxygen / CO2 sensor and others.)
A worker can call for help using a shock sensor inside the module.
Combining UWB, Bluetooth and GPS, this solution provides absolute positioning in any situation, inside or outside, this reduces the time for rescuing.
