AI-Powered Smart Safety Jacket for Industrial Application

This paper presented an AI-powered smart safety jacket for monitoring industrial workers and detecting unsafe conditions. The proposed system combines health monitoring, environmental sensing, fall detection, GPS tracking, and GSM-based emergency communication using an ESP32. The jacket monitors heart rate, SpO₂, temperature, gas, air quality, and worker movement. When an abnormal condition is detected, the buzzer, LED, and vibration motor provide an immediate warning. In an emergency, GPS provides the worker's location and GSM sends an alert to a predefined contact. The proposed system provides an additional safety layer for workers and can help reduce the delay in emergency response. Future work can focus on improving AI-based detection, increasing battery life, and testing the system under different industrial conditions.
