Guardhat
Devices built for the workers that make, power and move the world around us
How does it work?
Our experience in real-world industrial operations led us to develop the breakthrough Guardhat smart hardhat—with industrial sensors, advanced positioning technology, comprehensive communications, and more—all to achieve a simple goal: keep the brave people that make, power, and move the world around us safe and productive in every shift, every day.
This was quickly followed by our hyper-accurate and dependable RTLS geolocation system that works beyond GPS, and more importantly, works in challenging and hazardous industrial environments. From there, we developed our marquee Industrial IoT (IIoT) platform to improve how data is collected, analyzed, and used in industrial workplaces.
Along the way, our products expanded to include new hardware, software apps, partner wearables, and integrations; continually expanding the ecosystem of solutions, industrial workers, and workplaces.
Why is it needed?
Deep in the isolation of a coal mine, 300 feet below the ground. On a desolate rig 125 miles offshore. Just down the block in a bustling warehouse. Guardhat tirelessly pioneers to keep those who put their lives on the line every day reliably connected, safe and productive. Which in turn keeps your business safe and reduces costs associated with critical industrial events. We do it by developing solutions that are unique, intelligent and ahead of their time. And by never forgetting the value of what’s at stake.
How does it improve life?
We aim to empower workforces to make better decisions—decisions that save lives, improve response times and tactics, and increase productivity. Guardhat is the world’s first and only comprehensive connected worker solution. It’s years ahead of the competition, but we are still at the beginning of the Guardhat story.
