Discover the Future of Safety: ATEX-Certified Glasses for Explosive Environments

In industrial sectors where the risk of explosions is a daily reality, ATEX-certified glasses are essential for ensuring safety and efficiency. These glasses combine the latest augmented reality (AR) technologies with strict safety standards, making them suitable for challenging industrial applications.

ATEX glasses are designed and certified to comply with ATEX guidelines (Atmosphères Explosibles), a European regulation ensuring that equipment can be safely used in environments with an explosive atmosphere. The glasses do not cause sparks or high temperatures that could trigger an explosion, making them indispensable in sectors where flammable gases, vapors, or dust particles are present.

ATEX-certified glasses are used in environments with explosion risks, including:

• Oil and gas industry: Think of offshore platforms, refineries, and storage tanks where the risk of gas explosions is real.

• Chemical factories: Where processes with dangerous substances take place that can create explosive atmospheres.

• Mining: In underground mines, where dust and gas explosions can occur.

• Pharmaceutical sector: Where chemical mixing processes carry potential explosion risks.

• Food production: In the processing of substances like flour, where dust explosions are possible.

In these environments, employees must be protected from potential hazards. ATEX-certified glasses provide this protection, while simultaneously enabling productivity through hands-free AR functionality.

These glasses are indispensable for companies operating in explosion-risk environments. Think of safety experts, maintenance personnel, engineers, and technicians who deal with risky situations daily. For them, it is not only important to be protected, but also to have access to crucial information and visual support while working. 

AR technologies in ATEX-certified glasses enable these employees to work hands-free while having real-time access to important data or instructions. This not only increases safety but also leads to more efficient work processes.

In the United States, various brands meet the ATEX standards for explosion-risk environments. At Unbound XR, we focus on offering a wide range of leading brands that meet the strictest safety standards for industrial applications like the RealWear HMT-1Z1.

RealWear is a leading brand in hands-free AR solutions and is known for the robustness and safety of their glasses. This hands-free display is ideal for industrial environments and meets the ATEX standards. With AR capabilities, employees can access crucial information without using their hands, ensuring safe and efficient operations in dangerous environments. 

At Unbound XR, we specialize in providing XR solutions that meet the strictest safety standards. Our range of ATEX-certified AR glasses is carefully selected to meet the needs of industrial customers. In addition to our extensive product range, we also offer additional services, such as:

The combination of safety and technology continues to evolve. In the future, ATEX-certified glasses will become more advanced, with improved connectivity and integration of IoT functionalities. Some emerging possibilities include: 

• Full integration with IoT (Internet of Things): Glasses that collect real-time data from sensors on the work floor and directly display this to the wearer, enabling faster and safer decision-making. 
• Improved remote collaboration: Experts can assist remotely, and simultaneously see in real-time what the glasses user sees, which is crucial for maintenance and troubleshooting in dangerous environments. 
• Expansion of applications to other sectors: In addition to traditional industries such as oil, gas, and chemistry, ATEX-certified glasses will also find their way into sectors such as construction, aviation, and healthcare.

ATEX-certified glasses offer a unique combination of safety and technological advancement. For companies operating in explosion-risk environments, these glasses are essential for working safely and efficiently. Unbound XR is ready to support your company in finding the right solutions, so your employees are protected while benefiting from the latest AR technologies.
