Globe Manufacturing Named December “Innovation Rocks!” Award
Winner
A
dynamic new bodyworn electronics system for firefighters and first
responders has led to Globe Manufacturing being named the
“Innovation Rocks!” award winner by the New Hampshire Business
Resource Center for the month of December.
Globe Manufacturing, the nation’s largest manufacturer of
firefighter suits and emergency responder gear, recently teamed with
Zephyr Technology Corporation and TRX Systems to develop an
electronics system that helps firefighters and first responders to
answer the questions “Where am I?” and “How am I?” The new system
will utilize a unified graphical user interface in flame resistant
base-layer shirts for monitoring both physiology and
location/tracking.
Beta field-testing of the new Globe system, that is expected to be
immediately useful for Workplace Assessment, Training, Rehab,
Incident Command, HazMat, SWAT and RIT operations, will start in
early 2011 with commercial deployment slated for early 2012.
“Globe Manufacturing, has once again developed a product that will
save lives and improve the operations of those we trust to protect
us,” said New Hampshire Division of Economic Development Interim
Director Roy Duddy. “Their continued ingenuity is the hallmark of
their business and they continue to prove that when it comes to
innovation and creativity, they are tops in their industry.”
