Safe, secure and healthy at work – notes from the 2011 WTshow at the A+A

The WTshow at the A+A 2011 featured a wide variety of concepts and innovative ways to use technologies integrated into clothing and portable technologies in the areas of safety and security and health in the workplace.

The following companies took the opportunity to present their Wearable Technologies at our booth:

TexRay/AiQ presented, among others, NeonMan – clothing-integrable, washable LED’s

HMM Holding AG introduced its new internet community fitmefit, as well as a variety of wearable monitoring devices

Ascom showed its personal emergency call system d81

Kretschmer Informationselektronik GmbH was there, showing off its compact personal emergency alarm devices, SECUteam PZ and SECUteam SA

Cumulus53 presented its NAVI-Pointer, a multifunctional application integrated into a glove that makes possible a tangible touch control

brainLight treated booth visitors to a bit of stress relief in the form of its brainLight-Synchro massage chair and relaxation system with visualization goggles and headphones

sportsCurve displayed its GNSS-based tracking platform

Ah!qua wowed the crowd with its jewelry pieces, bracelets and necklaces that discreetly and lightly vibrate when the wearer needs to drink more water

The first WTshow at the A+A drew a lot of interest. The press and the protective work clothing manufacturers, in particular, were eager to gather information on the newest technological trends. Such themes as washability and certification were huge topics for those in the safety and security arena. The WTshow at the 2013 A+A will, therefore, even more intensely address these particular themes.
