Safety that
adapts to you
For a world where every worker reaches home safely.
INDUSTRY USE CASES
Who Is Our Technology For?
Many situations vital for our society’s function require remote work in variously exposed environments. And even when working in teams, one can be out of each other’s sight over long durations. So, when incident happens, seconds counts. That is why customers in forestry, transportation, agriculture, constructions, logistics, harbours, and several others have chosen Swanholm Technology’s integrated, easy-to-use technology, built for a world where every worker returns home safely.

THE PROBLEM
What If No One Sees the Fall?
€550B Annual Cost
Workplace injuries and diseases cost 3.3% of EU’s GDP each year
Millions Injured
~3,300 fatal, ~2.8 million non-fatal workplace accidents annually
Slips, Trips & Falls
are the 2nd leading cause of workplace accidents
Golden Hour
Treatment within the first hour after trauma can reduce mortality by ~45%
When an accident happens, the biggest delay is often a lack of awareness.
In many industrial environments, incidents happen out of sight. Workers may be alone, supervisors may be far away, and critical moments can be lost before anyone realizes something is wrong. This delay creates what we call the Safety Detection Gap.
Across the EU, a serious workplace accident occurs every 15 seconds, with falls accounting for around 33% of incidents. Traditional personal protective equipment improves visibility and protection, but it cannot detect when an accident occurs or trigger a response. Modern fall detection wearable devices aim to close this gap by detecting incidents automatically.
The time between an incident and when someone becomes aware of it remains one of the biggest weaknesses in workplace safety. For lone and remote workers, shortening that detection gap can dramatically reduce the consequences of an accident and, in many cases, save lives.
Closing the Detection Gap - Built for Real Work Environments
Swanholm Technology’s connected safety ecosystem is designed to close the gap between incident and awareness, with a solution built to scale across industries.
The ecosystem brings together certified high-visibility workwear, Edge AI intelligence, and real-time alerts in one connected safety solution with built-in man-down functionality.
When something goes wrong, an alert is triggered instantly, helping ensure awareness within seconds, not minutes or hours.
The Swanholm Alert Vest - with Integrated Fall Detection
The Swanholm Alert Vest is certified high-visibility workwear with embedded safety intelligence, designed for exposed work environments as a wearable fall detection and man-down solution.
Working together with the Swanholm Sense Collar and Swanholm Sense App, the Alert Vest enables connected safety with AI-driven fall detection, real-time alerts, and simple setup.
The Swanholm Sense Collar - Because Every Minute Matters
The lightweight embedded device is built into the vest collar and designed for simple one-button operation.
It is the intelligence behind Swanholm’s connected safety ecosystem, using Edge AI and motion sensors to detect falls, inactivity, and irregular motion.
By shortening the time between incident and response, Swanholm helps ensure workers receive help within the Golden Hour, when it matters most.
The Active Printed Lights
Traditional high-visibility workwear depends on light hitting the surface. But in dark or low-light conditions, visibility should not depend on the perfect angle.
Swanholm Alert Vest 1 adds Active Printed Light on the shoulders to improve visibility in exposed work environments.
The result is active over-the-shoulder visibility, flashing in fall scenarios to draw attention nearby, and strong illumination without blinding glare for the wearer.
In dark or shaded conditions, illumination can also activate automatically, for example, when stepping in or out of a truck or machine cab.
Designed for everyday use, the Active Printed Light remains flexible even through repeated wash cycles.
The Swanholm Sense App
This app is where the user connects, personalizes, and manages the Swanholm ecosystem in one place. Through the app, the worker can choose emergency contacts, personalize alarm messages, adjust selected settings, and manage key safety routines.
It is also through the Swanholm Sense App that product updates are delivered Over-the-Air, helping ensure your Swanholm equipment stays up to date and ready for new functionality when relevant.

FAQ
Common Questions
What happens if a worker is in an area with no mobile signal?
If there is no mobile signal, the system cannot immediately send an alarm. In these situations, workers can use the Timer Alarm feature. The worker sets a timer before entering the low-signal area and can include information about their location and planned activity in the app. If the worker does not cancel the timer before it expires, the alarm will automatically trigger and notify the selected contacts.
How accurate is the fall detection, and how was it tested?
The fall detection system has been tested to achieve approximately 95% accuracy. Testing was conducted using professional stunt performers as well as human-like test dummies to simulate real workplace fall scenarios and ensure reliable detection under realistic conditions. A demonstration of the testing process can be seen here:

Can the system detect incidents other than falls?
Yes. In addition to fall detection, the Alert Vest 1 can detect certain movement patterns. For example, it can recognize when a worker enters or exits a truck, automatically turning the vest’s lights on or off. This feature requires a specific motion sequence and at least two steps to activate correctly. See the feature in action:

What happens if a worker accidentally triggers an alarm?
If an alarm is triggered unintentionally, the worker has 30 seconds to cancel the alarm directly in the Swanholm Sense App before notifications are sent to emergency contacts.
How long does it take to set up the system for a team?
Setup is quick and straightforward. Each device can typically be configured in just a few minutes, allowing teams to deploy the system with minimal downtime.
Is the vest washable and suitable for harsh environments?
Yes. The vest is designed for demanding work environments and has been tested for at least 25 wash cycles at 40°C. Before washing, the Swanholm Sense Collar must be removed. Once removed, the vest can be safely washed like standard workwear.
What is the battery life of the Sense Collar?
Under normal working conditions, the battery lasts up to 5 days on a single charge. In colder environments, battery performance may be slightly reduced.
How are firmware or software updates handled?
Updates are delivered through the Swanholm Sense App. When an update is available, users will receive a notification. Simply connect the device with a USB-C cable and follow the instructions in the app. A full update typically takes about one minute.
Can companies test the vest before a full deployment?
Yes. Companies can arrange a product demonstration to see how the system works in practice. For on-site trials, we recommend starting with 3–10 vests and testing them within the team for about a month before scaling up.
