Abstract

Product innovation is one of the key methods to enhance capabilities and ensure that work processes can be carried out efficiently and effectively. The aim of innovation is to reduce waste, whether in terms of costs, time, or operational procedures, so that tasks can be performed optimally. Currently, worker safety has become a legal priority and a central focus in safeguarding employee welfare. Therefore, the development of the iProtectV smart safety vest is proposed for workers in all industrial sectors to address growing safety concerns. This innovative product is equipped with high-tech components such as geofencing and RFID to ensure the effectiveness in reducing accidents rates, especially among lone workers. In addition to the use of IoT, other features have been enhanced, including health sensors and ECG monitoring to detect workers health conditions in real time. The use of polyester as the main component of the design as available in the market then mesh in some parts increases comfort for users. With its user-friendly design, this product has strong potential for widespread commercialization across various industries.
