Twiceme enters firefighting market with SCHUBERTH
Twiceme Technology has partnered with SCHUBERTH to integrate digital safety data into professional firefighting helmet designs launched in Germany on Tuesday 18 November 2025.
The company said the collaboration marks its move into the firefighting market from its existing focus on digital safety for jobsites and outdoor activities.
According to Twiceme Technology, the integrated system allows users to record equipment health, inspection dates and compliance information directly within the helmet.
The data structure is intended to support tracking of certifications and expiration dates so that helmet condition and documentation remain current.
Twiceme Technology stated that this approach aims to support safety standards, reduce the risk of incidents linked to equipment issues and cut costs by streamlining safety management.
Christian Connolly, Chief Executive Officer of Twiceme Technology, said: “This is a historic step for Twiceme and for the firefighting community.
“We turn to firefighters when we need help the most, yet we rarely think about how dangerous their profession is.
“For the first time, they will have access to integrated digital safety information directly in their helmets, empowering action when seconds matter.”
Digital data built into firefighting helmet range
According to SCHUBERTH, the new F300, F220 and F130 models are the first professional firefighter helmets to include integrated digital safety information technology.
Each helmet is described as a high-performance model for use under extreme thermal stress in structural firefighting, rescue operations and traffic-accident response.
The manufacturer said the shells incorporate HighTemp-Fibre materials designed to resist high temperatures while maintaining impact protection.
All three models are certified to Deutsches Institut für Normung and European Committee for Standardization EN 443: 2008 structural firefighter helmet standards.
SCHUBERTH noted that all three helmets are Type A, with the F220 using a modern three-quarter shell, the F130 retaining a traditional half-shell and the F300 tailored to tasks requiring work overhead or extended upward vision.
Helmet design based on SCHUBERTH experience
SCHUBERTH said its firefighting helmet range draws on its long history of developing protective headgear for professional users in Germany.
The company described the HighTemp-Fibre shells as delivering protection against heat and impact while allowing for comfort and modularity.
Florian Brunck, Head of Business Unit industrial safety and firefighting at SCHUBERTH, said: “Our high-performance firefighter helmets were developed specifically to withstand increased thermal stress and meet the highest standards of safety and performance.
“We’ve always worked to set the benchmark in head protection, and now with Twiceme, we’ve introduced a bridge that connects the firefighter, the equipment, and the responder.”
Availability in Germany and industrial helmet rollout
According to SCHUBERTH, the firefighting helmets featuring Twiceme Technology are now available via authorised SCHUBERTH distributors and firefighting equipment partners in Germany.
The company added that Twiceme Technology has also been integrated into its CROSSGUARD and BOP industrial safety helmets.
These industrial models include functions for logging helmet inspections and keeping records of training certifications for workers.
Both companies direct interested users to their websites for more information about Twiceme-enabled helmets and wider digital safety features.
Operational impact of digital helmet data
Fire and rescue chiefs and senior officers may use this development to assess how digital records embedded in helmets could support fleet-wide oversight of structural firefighting PPE across German crews.
Procurement officers and equipment specifiers may examine whether integrated tracking of inspections, certifications and expiration dates within each helmet can simplify compliance checks and budget planning for helmet replacement cycles.
Standards and certification bodies can reference the DIN and EN 443: 2008 compliance of the F300, F220 and F130 models when reviewing how digital data layers sit alongside established structural firefighter helmet requirements.
Training officers and instructors, particularly in organisations that also deploy CROSSGUARD and BOP industrial helmets, could apply Twiceme-based records to verify that personnel training certifications align with helmet status before operational deployment.
Industrial facility managers responsible for high-risk environments may review the industrial implementations of Twiceme Technology as examples of how helmet-based data can be used to document inspections and workforce training in day-to-day operations.
