Project scope

The Smart Safety Glasses combine light and eye protection in a single, smart design. Developed for professionals who work at night, such as railway workers, the glasses help reduce fatigue and increase alertness by applying controlled blue light. At the same time, the product meets the strictest safety standards (EN ISO 16321) and offers protection against external influences. The technology originates from the medical sector and has been adapted for industrial use, where safety, reliability, and comfort are essential.

Impact

GBO has developed compact, robust glasses that fully integrate LED technology and battery components without compromising comfort or recyclability. Thanks to its clever, no-overmolding construction, the glasses are easy to disassemble and recycle. The industrial design with a half-frame and wide field of vision offers maximum functionality in a lightweight design. Users experience increased safety and vitality at work, while employers benefit from increased uptime. The Smart Safety Glasses demonstrate how GBO combines functionality, technology, and ergonomics in a single, well-designed product.

Electronics housing in the shape of glasses

GBO has demonstrated that advanced electronics, including LED technology and batteries, can be fully integrated within the limited space of an eyeglass frame. This compact housing combines functional electronics with ergonomic design, without compromising comfort or aesthetics. Despite the complex internal components, the glasses meet all relevant safety requirements, including the EN ISO 16321 standard for eye protection. The result is a technically sophisticated product that seamlessly combines innovation, safety, and design.

Design with a cool look

The Smart Safety Glasses are designed with a robust industrial look, inspired by the recognizable "Caterpillar look" that complements the working environment of railway workers. The glasses combine maximum functionality with a modern, powerful design language, seamlessly blending technology and ruggedness. The lightweight, semi-rimless half-frame offers a wide field of vision and optimal comfort during extended wear. Furthermore, the design is modular: colors can be customized, and individual parts are easily replaced without producing a completely new frame. This ensures the design not only visually appealing to the user but also practically meets the demands of daily industrial use.
