Guardio and Quin Launch World’s First Smart Industrial Helmet

The first of its kind, this sets a new standard for the safety offered by a helmet – one that can sense what is happening to it – detecting falls and impacts, discerning the likely consequences – and automatically call for help if necessary – reducing the consequences of accidents through fast response.

The sophisticated Quin system is seamlessly incorporated alongside the Mips® technology in the new Guardio Armet PRO model, delivering the ultimate standard in safety features. The intelligent sensor enables the helmet to accurately measure motion and forces in three dimensions, 1,000 times per second. It vigilantly monitors the safety of the wearer and in the event of a fall, an object falling from height or any other type of impact, analyzes what has happened across an inrange of parameters to determine whether help is needed.

If the safety threshold is breached, via the wearer’s cell connection, the Quin system sends out an automatic alert to the registered contacts detailing the location and nature of the detected event.

The Armet Pro with Quin can also track a worker’s timely return to a safe zone, sending out emergency alerts in the event the worker does not return as expected.

The development of the Armet PRO is made possible by carefully conducted processes that combine scientific testing and close communication with end users. In the development process of the current Armet helmet, Guardio gained invaluable insights from end users from the construction company Arcona, part of Veidekke – one of Scandinavia’s largest construction contractors. By working closely together, Guardio has and will gain invaluable insights that drive continuous improvement in the development of the next product.

PPE as a smart wearable device is no longer a futuristic aspiration, but available in 2025 at Båstadgruppen in the Guardio Armet PRO with technologies from Mips and Quin within.
