Smart PPE
What is Smart PPE?
Smart PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) refers to protective gear embedded with advanced technology, such as sensors, cameras, connectivity, and data analytics, to enhance worker safety, communication, and efficiency. Unlike traditional PPE, Smart PPE provides real-time monitoring of environmental conditions, biometric data, and location tracking, allowing for proactive hazard detection and improved situational awareness. Examples include wearable gas detectors, connected helmets with live-streaming cameras, and biometric-monitoring gloves.
