Objective In the Prospie project a new generation of work wear will be developed and produced. Special features of the work wear will be a dynamic cooling system in order to prevent workers from hyperthermia, smart interfaces for measuring essential physical parameters of workers and their work place and the data processing resulting in the swift identification of (potential) dangerous situations. The data processing will be based on algorithms which take personal aspects of the worker into consideration. When critical limits are exeeded, the worker will be alerted by (tactile) actuators. In case there is no reaction, rescue workers will be alerted. The personal safety system provided by the work wear will become an integrated part of industrial safety systems. In the project much attention will be paid to the safety of the worker, the comfort of the work wear(thermo-physiological and ergonomic) , the reliability of the smart functions, the production technology, care and maintenance, training of users and potential buyers (public procurement) and standardization issues concerning this new generation of PPE. The Prospie-project will support the EU in realizing the goals set in the EU-leadmarket initiative on protective clothing and strenghten the position of the EU-textile and clothing industry. Most important however is the expected reduction of work related accidents through the early warning system in potential dangerous situations, resulting in a substantial reduction of accidents related absence from work, disturbance in production processes and the increased productivity of workers in (hot) industrial environments. It is expected that the results of the Prospie project can be transferred to other sectors like first responders (fire men police, para-medicals), sports and healthcare for elderly and patients in nursing houses Fields of science medical and health scienceshealth sciencesnursingengineering and technologymechanical engineeringthermodynamic engineeringengineering and technologymaterials engineeringtextilessocial scienceseconomics and businesseconomicsproduction economicsproductivitynatural sciencescomputer and information sciencesdata sciencedata processing Programme(s) FP7-NMP - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials and new Production Technologies Topic(s) NMP-2008-4.0-9 - Reducing the risk of injury in complex systems through advanced personal protective equipment Call for proposal FP7-NMP-2008-SME-2 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CP-TP - Collaborative Project targeted to a special group (such as SMEs) Coordinator NEDERLANDSE ORGANISATIE VOOR TOEGEPAST NATUURWETENSCHAPPELIJK ONDERZOEK TNO EU contribution € 772 582,00 Address ANNA VAN BUERENPLEIN 1 2595 DA Den Haag Netherlands See on map Region West-Nederland Zuid-Holland Agglomeratie ’s-Gravenhage Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Jan Brouwer (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data Participants (15) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all Capzo International BV Participation ended Netherlands EU contribution € 64 292,40 Address De Mors 112 7631AK Ootmarsum See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Herman Reezigt (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data Henk Vanhoutte Consulting Belgium EU contribution € 80 800,00 Address Bavikhoofsestraat 190 8531 Harelbeke See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Henk Vanhoutte (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Total cost No data IFAK SYSTEM GMBH Germany EU contribution € 331 300,00 Address OSTSTRASSE 18 39114 MAGDEBURG See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Thorsten Szczepanski (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data I.CO.P.
