The Power of Integration: How ATEX, SmartOps, and DownAlert Work Together for Complete Safety

Safety Can’t Work in Silos

Industrial safety has long been treated as a checklist – one tool for communication, another for monitoring, and another for emergency response. But as operations grow more complex, scattered systems often create blind spots that put workers at risk.

The future of safety isn’t just about smarter devices. It’s about smarter connections.

Jarsh brings this philosophy to life by integrating three powerful solutions – ATEX-certified communication devices, SmartOps, and DownAlert – into one cohesive safety network that helps industries predict, prevent, and protect like never before.

  1. ATEX Devices: Safe Communication in Hazardous Zones

In high-risk environments like oil refineries, chemical plants, or mines, even a single spark can ignite disaster. Jarsh’s intrinsically safe ATEX smartphones and tablets solve that problem by enabling real-time communication without ignition risks.

  • Intrinsically Safe & Explosion-Proof: Designed for ATEX Zone 1/21 environments.
  • Rugged & Reliable: IP68/IP69K certified for dust, water, and shock resistance.
  • Always Connected: Built-in 5G, DMR, and Push-to-Talk features ensure instant coordination, even in network-limited zones.
  • Onboard Safety Controls: Dedicated SOS buttons and NFC compatibility for quick emergency actions.

ATEX devices keep communication continuous and compliant – the first building block of an integrated safety ecosystem.

  1. SmartOps: Real-Time Oversight from Anywhere

Once communication is secure, the next step is visibility. SmartOps provides that by connecting workers, supervisors, and operations into one centralized platform.

  • Live Dashboards: Display worker locations, ongoing tasks, and environmental data in real time.
  • Geo-Tagged Work Permits: Ensure that every job is logged, approved, and monitored digitally.
  • AI-Driven Safety Audits: Automatically detect PPE violations or unsafe behavior using camera feeds.
  • Predictive Maintenance: Alerts supervisors before machinery faults lead to hazards.

Through SmartOps, data from field devices

  1. DownAlert: Rapid Response for Lone Worker Safety

Even with the best communication and monitoring systems, accidents can still happen – especially when workers operate alone.

That’s where DownAlert completes the ecosystem.
It’s a compact man-down alarm that automatically detects worker collapse or immobility and triggers an immediate 100dB alarm with flashing LEDs.

  • Automatic Detection: Responds in seconds without manual activation.
  • Rugged & Certified: Intrinsically safe and waterproof (IPx8).
  • Integration Ready: When connected to SmartOps, alerts can be transmitted directly to supervisors with location data.

With DownAlert, no worker goes unnoticed or unattended – even in remote zones.

When All Three Work Together

The true strength of Jarsh’s ecosystem lies in its integration.

Imagine a field worker inside a refinery unit using an ATEX-certified phone. The device feeds live status updates to SmartOps, which monitors operations in real time. If the worker collapses, DownAlert automatically triggers an alarm that appears instantly on the SmartOps dashboard – showing the worker’s location and condition.

Supervisors can dispatch help immediately, view live camera feeds, and record every detail for compliance and review.

That’s not just safety – that’s intelligent prevention in action.

Why Integration Matters

  • Faster Response: Automated alerts cut rescue time by up to 90%.
  • Zero Blind Spots: Seamless communication between worker devices and central systems.
  • Data-Driven Decisions: Real-time insights improve policy and training.
  • Simplified Compliance: Digital logs and geo-tagged records for audits and reporting.

Each solution is powerful on its own – but together, they redefine what’s possible in industrial safety.

A Unified Future of Safety

In the modern industrial world, safety is no longer just personal – it’s connected.
By integrating intrinsically safe devices, real-time monitoring, and automated alert systems, Jarsh is helping industries move from reactive protection to predictive safety.

It’s not about having more equipment – it’s about having the right equipment that works together.
