Abstract

Maintainers for DoD and commercial industry are required to inspect and perform maintenance operations in confined spaces. Due to the tight volume and small ingress points into these spaces, hazardous environmental conditions including toxic gases, low oxygen levels, and high heat indices are common. Commercial off the shelf (COTS) solutions exist for testing these environmental conditions, but not in a small, wearable form factor with real-time reporting. In this presentation NextFlex will describe how it will fill this gap via a small wearable sensor Arduino®-like platform with integrated, real-time oxygen, VOC, temperature, and humidity monitoring. NextFlex utilizes additive techniques to print conductive traces and antennas while directly attaching silicon dies and components. This flexible hybrid electronic approach produces a high-performance sensor platform with low size weight and power to ease wear by maintainers.
