Easily attach to a safety helmet to prevent safety accidents and respond quickly

With various industrial safety accidents continuing to occur recently, including Korea ranking third among OECD member countries in industrial accident fatality rates, changes in domestic industrial sites are expected with the emergence of IoT solutions capable of preventing industrial safety accidents.

LG Uplus (Vice Chairman Kwon Young-soo) announced on the 21st that it has launched a new concept industrial safety IoT solution, the 'IoT Helmet,' which enables real-time video and voice communication via LTE anytime, anywhere.

The 'IoT Helmet,' which can be easily attached to safety helmets worn at industrial sites, is equipped with an LTE modem, camera, walkie-talkie function, and GPS. This allows for real-time monitoring of industrial sites and verification of workers' locations and movements, as well as improving communication efficiency between the control center and the workers.


In particular, the 'IoT Helmet' enables seamless video and voice communication simultaneously via LTE and ensures portability by being attached to a helmet, significantly contributing to the prevention of industrial safety accidents.You can do it.

In the case of CCTVs and walkie-talkies commonly used in existing industrial sites, accurate on-site monitoring was difficult due to blind spots in fixed cameras, and rapid on-site response was challenging due to coverage limitations of walkie-talkies.

The 'IoT Helmet' transmits HD-quality video in real-time upon emergency request, allowing for vivid verification of on-site conditions even from remote locations such as control centers. Furthermore, because it uses a camera attached to the safety helmet, it is easy to move, enabling on-site workers or control centers to accurately capture and monitor necessary on-site footage.

In addition, the radio function based on the nationwide LTE network supports 1:1 or multi-party voice communication anywhere in the country without dead zones. By utilizing video and voice simultaneously, seamless communication between the field and the control center is possible even in emergency situations, enabling a rapid response.

Accordingly, it can be utilized in various fields, including disaster sites, firefighting, and military/police operations, in addition to general industrial sites such as construction sites, shipyards, and chemical plants.

The 'IoT Helmet' also offers significant cost-saving benefits. It can reduce construction costs associated with traditional outdoor CCTV installations, and since it provides a cloud-based monitoring platform operated by LG Uplus, there are no initial setup costs.

The 'IoT Helmet' control platform can be accessed and used from PCs and smartphones, and can simultaneously monitor up to 9 channels of video. In addition, real-time location, travel route, ON/OFF status, battery status, and data usage can be managed in an integrated manner.

Lee Eun-jae, Head of BS Business Division (Executive Vice President) at LG Uplus, said, “As industrial accidents cause significant losses not only to individual workers but also to companies and society, prevention and rapid response are very important,” adding, “IoT helmets can be of great help in creating safe industrial sites and working environments.”
