Abstract: A personal protection equipment (PPE) system with a remote user interface comprises an article of PPE including an active wireless communication device for transmitting a signal and a controller for managing settings on the article of PPE; and a communication hub including a user interface, an electronic connection to a PPE management software, and a wireless communication device. When the wireless communication device of the communication hub detects that the article of PPE is in proximity to the communication hub, the hub displays information on the user interface. The user interface displays settings for the article of PPE, and the settings can be adjusted by a user through interaction with the user interface. The wireless communication device of the communication hub transmits information related to the adjusted settings to the wireless communication device of the article of PPE; and the controller adjusts the settings on the article of PPE.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes an article of PPE. The device includes a first sensor that detects whether the article of PPE is being worn by a user, a processing module and a communications module. The processing module includes a clock that measures the length of time that the article of PPE is being worn by the user, and memory for storage of usage data, wherein usage data includes the length of time the article of PPE has been worn by the user. The communications module is for wirelessly transmitting stored usage data to a device separate from the article of PPE.
