Safeware, a company specializing in the development and manufacturing of wearable smart airbags for fall and human protection, won the Innovation Award at CES 2023. With this award, Safeware achieved the feat of winning the CES Innovation Award for two consecutive years.
According to Safeware on the 27th, the industrial smart airbag ‘C3’ received the Innovation Award in the ‘Human Security for All’ category at CES 2023 in recognition of its technology and innovation. CES 2023 is the world’s largest IT and home appliance exhibition to be held in Las Vegas, USA on January 1 (local time).
The C1, scheduled to be released in January next year, is characterized by minimizing the length and weight and applying a slim design compared to existing products. In addition, for optimal wearing comfort according to the temperature difference between summer and winter, a detachable ‘Air Vent Backpane’ is attached to increase user convenience, and antibacterial and deodorizing fabric and a highly functional foaming pad that is easy to wash are attached.
In addition, the airbag was designed to increase the volume and safely surround the human body to better protect the head and neck, which are directly related to life in the event of a fall. Any worker can wear it according to their body as it is a free size using buckles and Velcro, boasting excellent fit, and is made in a vest shape so as not to interfere with the worker’s work.
Safeware explains that Safeware’s industrial smart airbag C3, which has these advantages, is receiving an explosive response in the market, with various companies such as SK Telecom, LG Electronics, and E-Mart taking advance stock even before its market launch.
In addition, Safeware announced that it is developing products in various fields in addition to industrial smart aback. Wearable airbags for motorcycle riders, ‘Airves M1’ and ‘Airvest M2’, are currently in the process of obtaining CE certification and are scheduled to be released in the first half of next year. In addition, fall protection airbags and infant suffocation prevention airbags are also being developed.
A Safeware official said, “We are developing products to directly protect the body from falls and suffocation at work sites, motorcycle accidents, etc.” and “Through continuous research activities, we can reduce the weight of the product and respond to falls from higher places.” “We will develop it so that it can be achieved,” he said.
He added, “We are also preparing smart wearable airbags suitable for personal mobility, autonomous vehicles, and UAM, and plan to develop and introduce a variety of products, including protective clothing products for future transportation vehicles.”
