SafeWare, a leading company specializing in human safety solutions (CEO Shin Hwan-cheol), welcomed the Thailand Joint Public-Private Economic Delegation, led by Nattapol Rangsitpo, Permanent Deputy-Minister of the Thai Ministry of Industry, at SafeWare’s headquarters in the corporate support hub in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province.This visit, organized under the Asian Productivity Organization’s (APO) industrial training program, was part of the Thai delegation’s trip to South Korea. The aim was to gain insights into excellent business models and improve competitiveness by leveraging Korean government-supported technology programs and industrial digital technology innovations.SafeWare showcased its industrial-grade smart airbag C3 to the Thai delegation. The demonstration highlighted SafeWare’s pioneering smart safety technologies, which include sensors that detect falls using precision motion detection algorithms, proprietary electronic inflators, and an IoT platform technology that relays the location and status of the accident victim. Furthermore, IoT integration testing with the safety monitoring platform, ‘Hulan,’ complemented the C3 demonstration.SafeWare’s C3, developed and manufactured exclusively with domestic technology, is a wearable safety device designed to mitigate severe injuries from worker falls and accidents. Equipped with an integrated detection sensor, the device triggers an electronic inflator to inflate the airbag within 0.2 seconds when a fall is detected. This swift response provides protection to sensitive areas like the head, neck, cervical spine, and pelvis that are prone to severe injuries.In an accident, the sensor communicates the location and situation to the designated emergency contacts, thereby securing the crucial window of opportunity for rescuing the wearer

Korean startup Safeware has partnered with POSCO E&C to enhance the safety of construction site workers. Safeware, led by CEO Shin Hwan-cheol, a human safety solution company, announced on the 28th that it had signed an agreement with POSCO E&C, led by CEO Han Sung-hee, to supply its industrial smart airbag C3. This agreement aims to prevent safety accidents among construction site workers, with both companies providing the industrial smart airbag C3 to POSCO E&C’s construction sites.The ‘Industrial Smart Airbag C3,’ which received the gold prize in the Personal Technology category at the 2023 Edison Awards last April, is a wearable safety device designed to prevent worker falls and mitigate serious injuries resulting from falls. Safeware’s C3 was developed and manufactured using purely domestic technology and has been supplied to over 550 institutions and corporations, including public institutions such as Korail, Korea Expressway Corporation, and Korea Electric Power Corporation, as well as military and defense industries, Samsung, LG, and Hyundai Development Company.When a worker’s fall is detected by the sensor integrated into the airbag, the electronic inflator rapidly inflates the airbag within 0.2 seconds, safeguarding vulnerable body parts such as the head, cervical vertebrae, spine, and pelvis. Simultaneously, in the event of an accident, the device can help the wearer secure crucial time for rescue by transmitting the accident’s location and situation to the designated emergency contact network. The sensor’s battery can provide continuous usage for over 120 hours when fully charged and can be reused by replacing the carbon dioxide (CO2) cartridge.Hwan-Cheol Shin, CEO of Safeware, emphasized the significance of protecting workers, as falls and related accidents often occur unnoticed in work environments at heights of 2 to 5 meters, where safety precautions may need to be adequately fastened
