Aptima

Aptima, in partnership with NAVSEA and Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, is pioneering a new technology to safeguard maintainers working in confined spaces. The Confined Spaces Monitoring System (CSMS) is a wearable device designed to provide real-time sensing and assessment of both maintainers' health and their surrounding environment. Maintainers working in confined spaces face numerous hazards, including insufficient oxygen, flammable atmospheres, and toxic gases. Traditional methods of monitoring, such as gas sampling and periodic verbal check-ins, offer limited protection and can be slow to respond to emergencies. CSMS addresses these limitations by embedding advanced technology with the maintainers, allowing continuous data collection on their physiology—such as heart rate and respiration—and environmental conditions. CSMS will be demonstrated at the upcoming National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) Technology Showcase held in Bremerton, Washington, July 31-August 1, 2024.
