How can we identify high‑risk situations (such as electrical hazards, work at heights, confined spaces, or the handling of heavy loads) and deliver real‑time alerts to workers to ensure a ‘zero‑accident’ safety standard?
Elecnor is seeking mature solutions (TRL 7+) in technologies such as:
• IoT and Wearable devices for monitoring vital signs, environmental conditions, and/or workplace context.
• Computer Vision for risk detection.
Candidate startups/technology companies must propose solutions that fulfil the following key requirements:
• Critical Connectivity: Solutions capable of operating with low bandwidth, in offline mode, or through the creation of local networks (mesh) for confined or hard‑to‑reach environments.
• Hardware: Hands‑free devices (smart glasses, bodycams, smart helmets) that do not interfere with the handling of tools or loads and can be used seamlessly without affecting existing PPE or protective equipment.
• Regulatory Compliance: Solutions must comply with GDPR (in cases involving worker recording) and ATEX certifications where applicable to explosive‑risk zones.
• Video Analytics: Ability to process images to detect PPE usage, falls, and other safety‑related events.
Passive CCTV‑based monitoring systems or solutions requiring fixed infrastructure in the field will not be considered, since the challenge requires real‑time, portable, and deployable solutions.
The main KPI to evaluate the success of the implemented solutions will be directly linked to worker safety, specifically the solution’s ability to proactively and effectively detect near‑miss incidents and report them automatically.
