ASIST has an automatic expansion system using c02 cartridges as a development stage product of conventional large and heavy life jackets in ships. It can withstand loads of up to 120 kg or more due to buoyancy balloons that automatically burst through the water detection sensor. The shoulder binding straps prevent the product from rising up, making it close to the body. With the characteristics of a neck wearable device, ASIST has six functions. 1. Automatic inflating system, 2. Attached QR code identification system, 3. Voice guidance (Code of Conduct in an Emergency), 4. Neck, chin support 5. Bonded shoulder straps 6. Light-emitting luminous bands to ensure night visibility As a result, the weight and importance of securing safety in ships (passengers, fishing boats) can be further emphasized, which can have a positive impact on lifesaving and relief activities. "ASIST," which is given to individuals one by one when boarding a passenger ship, solves all problems such as the heavy weight of existing life jackets and not knowing how to use them properly, allowing them to safely travel to their destinations at sea.
