“Value My Brain”: working in full safety with the Smart Helmet 4.0 – the first test at the Vernasca Plant

Buzzi Unicem, always focused on initiatives aimed at improving the safety of its operators, has joined the "Value My Brain" Project organized by Mensior, in collaboration with the Catholic University of Milan and the Applied Technology for Neuro-Psychology Lab, with a test survey held at the Vernasca cement plant.

Buzzi Unicem's goal is to carefully monitor technological advances, also in the field of workers' health and safety, implementing preventive and proactive actions in order to reach the goal of zero accidents for all its employees.

Mensior offers solutions in the field of Corporate Health and Safety and has developed a non-invasive system to measure in real time the workers' level of mental load and fatigue (Mental Workload).

The measurement is done through a Smart Helmet, a standard work helmet equipped with a small sensor, to be used as any work helmet.

The helmet, after detecting the level of mental load in real time, can alert the wearer when this load is about to reach a high level, in order to prevent errors and accidents caused by fatigue.

The data collected will allow Mensior to refine the algorithms used to calculate the "Mental Workload" and thus make more effective the new generation work helmet on which Mensior has been working for several years, together with the Catholic University of Milan.
