Båstadgruppen: PPE Becomes Connected from Head to Toe
Båstadgruppen is expanding connected safety technology across helmets, workwear trousers and safety footwear.
Products marketed through its Guardio, Top Swede and Monitor brands integrate technology from Quin to make conventional personal protective equipment part of an active emergency-response system.
The Quin Pod is designed to detect serious impacts and falls automatically. It can then initiate an alert containing information such as the worker’s location. The complementary Quin Tag provides access to a digital medical ID using a compatible smart device.
Existing connected products include the Guardio Armet Pro Connected safety helmet and Monitor ICE Evolution safety footwear. The concept is now being extended to high-visibility work trousers from Top Swede, allowing emergency information to be stored directly in clothing workers already use every day.
