What were the customer pain points?
Our search for creating a smart industrial helmet introduced us to several issues that the industry workers and managers faced on a daily basis. Here are the pain points that motivated us to build this smart helmet IoT product:
- Lack of accurate workforce tracking
- No way to track gas leaks around workers
- Lack of SOS mechanism for individual workers
- No precision in workforce efficiency tracking
- No records of equipment users
- Lack of system to scan vitals of workers
- Equipment lost & found records
Challenges We Faced With The Smart Helmet Project
Developing a unique IoT product from scratch and that too for the most challenging industries is never an easy feat. We had our share of challenges while making a custom smart IoT helmet; here are a few of the prominent ones:
Challenges
Solutions
Fluctuations In Asset Tracking
We faced an error with the fluctuations in location reading of the helmet whenever multiple workers were too close within the same space. We realized that the standard programs to track assets weren’t accurate enough for multiple assets in close range and lead to this issue.
We overcame this asset tracking fluctuation issue by developing our own algorithm with the software team at the helm. Building upon the existing tracking programs, we enhanced it with parts of our own custom algorithm.
Body Temperature Sensor Placement
All of the sensors we integrated with the helmet (gas sensor, temperature sensor, gyroscope, GPS tracker, etc.) reside in a small custom-built device box attached to the helmet. But we also wanted to add a body temperature sensor that will get an accurate reading of the helmet wearer.
This challenge was of product designing; we wanted to keep the sensor innocuous to the wearer while gathering accurate body temperature reading. Hence placing this sensor with all the other sensors was out of the table. Then came a superb idea. We added the sensor to the forehead strap of the smart helmet the same way that a fitness band sensor is planted on the back of the device.
Longer Battery Life & Smaller Size
One of the biggest issues that an IoT product or any battery-driven product faces is the battery life vs. size conundrum. Everyone wants a device that has the smallest battery size while offering the longest battery life.
We scratched our heads for a long time behind this problem, just like all the big minds across the world in product development. Then a brilliant idea came to our IoT hardware team, instead of working on the battery, why not improve the source that uses the battery the most. So, we started sending data in an encoded format with smaller strings to save on the battery usage. The cherry on the cake was that this encoded format was a great step forward in increased data security.
Weight & Size Of The Circuit
Once we tasted success at the battery problem, we were pumped to tackle a bigger dragon, the circuit. The goal was the same once again, how to reduce the weight and size of the circuit? The battery solution won’t work in this situation, so we had to come up with a new idea.
This time we had to go the hardware route to bring a successful solution to the circuit problem. What we did is instead of making a single circuit board, we broke down the modules into smaller multilayer PCBs. This way, we drastically reduced the circuit’s size and had some breakthroughs in reducing the weight.
Tech Stack Used To Create The Fabulous Smart Helmet IoT Product
Developing a unique IoT product from scratch and that too for the most challenging industries is never an easy feat. We had our share of challenges while making a custom smart IoT helmet; here are a few of the prominent ones:
