lways at the forefront of PPE product development, uvex’s new wearable
digital technologies, applications and solutions include the latest advances. Equipped with sensors and actuators
that can interconnect PPE, they also react, interact and communicate with the wearer, according to the situation. This imparts increased safety, protection and comfort to the wearer on the most vulnerable parts of their body during their working day. Techware digitally enhances the safety
features and ergonomics of uvex’s range of leading PPE products. With the increasing digitalisation of the workplace, uvex techware is said to allow customers to integrate their PPE into this new environment with ease.
EYE PROTECTION uvex techware’s digital product system encompasses new products such as the lightweight uvex i-works techware, smart safety glasses that allow information to be visualised on the inner surface of the lens while being worn, so giving users access to sensor data at any time. The concept also optimises low energy consumption.
SMART HELMETS The uvex pheos techware smart helmet uses meta sensors to evaluate situations,
machines or the infrastructure can be regulated, and completely new opportunities made available in PPE supply chain management.
SAFETY SHOES uvex 1 techware safety shoes use smart insoles that can detect and evaluate hazardous situations, such as the risk of slipping, alerting the wearer and enabling stress-free avoidance. Meta sensors
can detect collisions, free falling and unexpected immobility, while other sensors, such as those for temperature, moisture and ambient brightness can be adapted to customers’ requirements.
WORKWEAR The new uvex suXXeed workwear collection incorporates smart gesture

The uvex safety group has created a
‘Digital Business Innovation’ division for the continuing development of uvex techware, working with highly-skilled technology partners and key clients in this rapidly-advancing field. All uvex products can also be quickly
located via uvex’s Product Finder App, available free from the Apple App Store.
