Protomate Company Limited, a pioneering Thai startup in the Smart Electronics and Smart Mobility sector, has launched the UltraFusion-X1 Smart Motorcycle Helmet. This innovative helmet is set to revolutionize motorcycle riding experience by integrating a digital lifestyle with enhanced safety. Marking a world first, the helmet incorporates a comprehensive suite of state-of-the-art sensors, including an Advanced Quad Camera System with 360-degree coverage that records in high resolution.
It features sensors capable of precise movement measurement during rides, with a 3-DOF Accelerometer and a 3-DOF Gyroscope for three-axis acceleration and angular velocity, and GPS for accurate location and route tracking. Riders can ride with confidence thanks to the AI-Blindspot Warning system, which leverages Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision for effective Blind Spot Detection and safety alerts.
Protomate has also developed a proprietary hardware motherboard for advanced AI processing. Additionally, there is a user-friendly Mobile Application for helmet operation control, with software updates that enhance features and enrich user experiences. The helmet meets stringent safety standards, certified both domestically and internationally with TIS 369-2014 and ECER 22.05.
It also adopts a world-leading Solid State Battery technology, offering higher impact resistance than traditional batteries. The helmet’s shell is crafted from carbon fiber composite, ensuring strength, durability, and a sleek design. The helmet is designed to complement various motorcycle styles, including Racing, Touring, Naked, Power Scooter, or Classic. Protomate is launching two models in Thailand as the initial market: the UltraFusion-X1 with four cameras and the UltraFusion-M1 with two cameras. Pre-orders are now available at special pricing, with Complimentary Packages and Services for the first 200 Founder Limited Editions.
“Protomate Company Limited is committed to innovating solutions that address critical social issues in Thailand, particularly the urgent problem of road safety and accidents. As highlighted by the World Health Organization, Thailand had the world’s ninth-highest number of road accident fatalities in 2018, with the majority involving motorcycle riders. Recognizing this grave issue and the opportunity for change, our company aims to drive innovation that contributes to lowering the accident fatality rate. We believe that providing riders with helmets that not only meet safety standards but also incorporate advanced technology and conveniences—such as driving assistance and accident warning systems, along with a video capture system that eliminates blind spots—will enhance the riding experience. More importantly, it will encourage more riders to consistently wear helmets, which we anticipate will have a substantial positive effect on road safety,” explained Dr. Kan Kanchanapas, CEO and co-founder of Protomate, while discussing the inspiration behind the design of the smart motorcycle helmet.
“The smart motorcycle helectronics to a competitive international level. It represents an ideal synergy of industrial design, hardware, and software—a rarity in the startup landscape, especially in the realm of tangible hardware products within Thailand and ASEAN. I am hopeful that our endeavors will foster a collaborative atmosphere in the industry, inspiring collective efforts towards innovation that effectively addresses social challenges,” stated Mr. Wiwat Wuwong, Chief Business Development Officer and Co-Founder of Protomate.
