Smart lifebuoys for safer beaches
Description

Feeling safe during bathing is an important factor in attracting people to the beaches and this is what Helsingborg’s smart lifebuoys are contributing to. Helsingborg is the first city in the world with lifebuoys that, with the help of magnetic sensors, automatically sound an alarm when they are removed from their holders. The magnetic sensors alert the authorities straight away whenever a buoy is removed, which allows them to quickly replace it. This creates safer bathing experiences for residents and visitors and also helps to save lives.
