[NTXSW200SAFE] Industrial LoRaWAN Smartwatch

Description

The NTXSW200SAFE – Nasatech’s LoRaWAN Industrial Smart Watch – is a wearable solution designed to improve safety, traceability and staff monitoring in industrial plants. Based on LoRaWAN connectivity and hybrid positioning capabilities, this device enables real-time monitoring of a worker’s location and specific indicators, facilitating a faster response to hazardous situations and reinforcing safety procedures in the field.

The watch integrates GPS, Beidou, Wi-Fi, BLE and motion sensor functions, enabling it to provide positioning both outdoors and indoors. In industrial settings, this capability is particularly useful for locating operators within the plant, verifying presence in specific areas, tracking routes and managing access to restricted or sensitive zones. The manufacturer itself states that the device can warn employees not to enter hazardous areas via the platform and alarm system.

In addition to location tracking, the device incorporates sensors for collecting data such as heart rate, blood oxygen levels, body temperature, steps and sleep, as well as detecting when the watch is in use. This data should not be considered for medical use, but it can provide operational value as an additional layer of monitoring and context in industrial environments, particularly during long shifts, isolated work or tasks in areas of higher exposure. The manual clarifies that these measurements are indicative and should not be used for medical purposes.

One of its most relevant features for the plant is the single-button SOS function, which allows the worker to trigger a manual alarm in the event of an incident. The manual specifies that, once SOS mode is activated, the watch intensifies the capture and periodic transmission of location and associated data. In addition, the solution supports automatic alarms for entering or exiting geofences, low battery, device shutdown or removal of the watch, thereby reinforcing operational monitoring and compliance with safety protocols.

The device also supports temporary storage and subsequent forwarding when there is no signal, ensuring data continuity in complex environments. This capability is particularly useful in plants with areas of patchy coverage or interference, as it prevents the loss of relevant events and allows information to be consolidated once connectivity is restored.

Integrated with the Nasatech CORE Platform, the NTXSW200SAFE can become a key component within an industrial digital security architecture, enabling the visualisation of positions, management of alerts, review of historical data, definition of control zones, and the development of use cases such as lone worker protection, access control to sensitive areas, patrol traceability, and real-time incident management.

Overall, the NTXSW200SAFE is not a consumer smartwatch, but an IoT wearable designed for industrial operations, intended to provide visibility of personnel in the field, improve operational coordination and enhance safety within industrial plants.
