Industrial worksites don’t fail because people ignore safety rules. Most accidents happen when something goes wrong and no one notices it in time. A worker falls, collapses, or unknowingly steps into a dangerous electrical zone. In those moments, seconds matter more than procedures.

The Grandtime 5G industrial smart helmet camera is built for exactly these situations. Powered by Android 12 and designed for harsh environments, it combines mandown detection, voltage proximity alerts, real-time communication, and health monitoring into one wearable device—turning a standard safety helmet into an active protection system.

Mandown Detection for Lone Workers and High-Risk Industrial Sites

In power utilities, construction, mining, and industrial maintenance, workers often operate alone or at a distance from supervisors. Substations, tunnels, transmission corridors, and elevated platforms are common examples. When an accident happens in these environments, the real risk is not the fall itself, but the delay before help arrives.

The mandown detection feature in the Grandtime smart helmet is designed to address this exact problem.

By monitoring movement and posture, the helmet can automatically identify sudden falls or prolonged inactivity. Once a mandown event is detected, the system triggers an SOS alert with GPS location, sending it directly to the control center through the cloud platform. No manual action from the worker is required.

For safety managers, this means:

 ● Immediate awareness of on-site incidents

 ● Precise location data for faster rescue response

 ● Reduced dependence on manual check-ins

For lone workers, it adds a layer of protection that works even when they can’t.

Voltage Proximity Alerts That Prevent Electrical Accidents

Electrical hazards are among the most unpredictable risks on industrial sites. High-voltage equipment doesn’t always look dangerous, and misjudging distance can be fatal.

The voltage proximity alert built into the Grandtime 5G helmet provides real-time warnings when a worker approaches a dangerous electrical field. Instead of reacting after an incident, the system warns before contact happens.

This feature is particularly valuable for:

 ● Power transmission and distribution crews

 ● Substation inspection teams

 ● Rail electrification projects

 ● Industrial electrical maintenance

By alerting workers early, voltage alerts help prevent accidents rather than simply recording them. For many safety teams, this proactive capability is one of the strongest reasons to adopt a smart helmet solution.

An All-in-One 5G Smart Helmet System for Industrial Safety

Instead of using separate devices for communication, safety alerts, and documentation, the Grandtime smart helmet integrates these critical functions into one industrial-grade system.

1. Real-Time Communication and Live Monitoring

With 5G / 4G / Wi-Fi connectivity, the helmet supports voice calls, video calls, group conferencing, and live video streaming. The 13MP camera, dual microphones, and 2W speaker allow workers to share what they see on-site instantly. Supervisors and remote experts can make faster, better-informed decisions based on real-time visuals.

2. Intelligent Safety Monitoring

Beyond mandown and voltage alerts, the helmet also supports helmet removal detection, ensuring workers remain compliant with safety requirements. All alerts are transmitted through the cloud platform for centralized monitoring.

3. Health Metrics Tracking

The helmet integrates wearable sensors to monitor heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and body temperature. When combined with mandown alerts, these metrics provide valuable context, helping safety teams understand whether fatigue, heat stress, or health issues contributed to an incident.

4. One-Touch Evidence Capture and Cloud Upload

With a single button press, workers can capture photos or videos and upload them directly to the cloud. This is useful for safety inspections, incident reports, and compliance documentation—without interrupting on-site work.

5. Rugged Design for Industrial Environments

Built with IP66 waterproof and dustproof protection, the helmet is suitable for outdoor and harsh industrial conditions. The 4000mAh removable battery supports long shifts and quick battery replacement, reducing downtime.

Improving Workforce Safety and Operational Efficiency

The value of a smart helmet is not only in preventing accidents, but also in how it improves daily operations. Through centralized dashboards, safety teams can monitor field activity, respond to alerts, review recorded footage, and track safety trends over time.

For companies managing large or distributed workforces, the Grandtime 5G Smart Helmet Camera becomes part of a broader workforce safety management strategy—reducing risks while improving coordination and efficiency.

Conclusion: A Practical Step Toward Safer Industrial Worksites

Industrial safety requires more than protective gear. It requires awareness, fast response, and reliable communication. By combining mandown detection, voltage proximity alerts, real-time video, and health monitoring, the Grandtime 5G industrial smart helmet camera delivers active protection where it matters most.
