Industrial Smart Helmet Pilot Test Plan
Use this plan to test a G808 or G901 project against the intended field workflow, software architecture and production assumptions—not just a list of device functions.
Last reviewed: August 10, 2026
What the pilot must prove
A working demonstration is not yet production acceptance
A useful pilot shows whether the selected device, network, software path, data flow, user process and support model work together in the customer’s intended environment.
Field workflow
Can workers and supervisors complete the real task under representative site conditions?
System behavior
Do device, location, alarm, media and user workflows behave as agreed?
Customer environment
Are network, security, deployment and integration assumptions valid?
Production readiness
Which items pass, need redesign, require evidence, or remain outside scope?
Before testing
Define the architecture and freeze the configuration
Record the exact test setup before the first result is accepted. A change in hardware, firmware, APK, backend, network or accessory can change the outcome.
1 · Confirm the operating model
Choose where the main workflow will run
- • Complete monitoring platform for ready-to-use operational workflows
- • Enterprise integration for selected data and media inside an existing system
- • Customer-owned Android APK and backend for software teams building their own application
A one-month sample environment for 1–2 devices can demonstrate selected functions. It is not a production hosting or production API commitment.
2 · Create the configuration record
Identify every version that affects the result
- • G808 or G901 model and configuration
- • Host helmet, bracket and accessories
- • Firmware and Android build
- • APK and backend version
- • SIM, carrier, Wi-Fi and site network
- • Server, storage and security environment
- • Map and coordinate handling
- • Test users, roles and permissions
Acceptance matrix
Turn requirements into observable results
For each row, name the owner, test method, required result and evidence. Values such as latency, concurrency, retention and recovery time should be agreed for the project and measured during the pilot.
| Test area | What to observe | Define before the test | Evidence to retain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Device and configuration | Model, mounting, battery workflow, controls and selected options | Exact bill of materials and host-helmet acceptance | Configuration sheet, photos and version record |
| Connectivity and recovery | Registration, weak coverage, network switching, offline behavior and reconnection | Sites, carriers, dead zones and acceptable recovery behavior | Timestamped test log and network conditions |
| Location and track | Coordinates, timestamps, history and map presentation | Coordinate system, update needs and permitted accuracy test method | Reference route, exported records and exceptions |
| Alarms and events | Configured alarms, visibility, acknowledgement and duplicate handling | Required alarm types, timing target, roles and escalation workflow | Event record, screen capture and operator response |
| Data and API | Authentication, field mapping, polling, errors and customer-system display | Required fields, ownership, polling design and failure handling | Request/response samples, mapping and error log |
| Live video and RTSP | Start, URL retrieval, viewing, stop, latency, recovery and simultaneous use | Viewer/VMS, codec, network, authentication and concurrency target | Session log, recordings and measured conditions |
| Recorded media | Capture, upload, search, playback, download and permissions | Retention, storage, roles and chain-of-custody needs | Sample files, metadata and access audit |
| Customer APK | Approved keys, lights, events, permissions and customer-backend communication | Model-specific interface pack, firmware behavior and app ownership | APK version, interface test record and defect list |
| Roles, security and operations | Accounts, permissions, audit needs, updates, backup and support handoff | Security owner, operating owner and incident process | Access matrix, approval notes and operating runbook |
| Scale and endurance | Representative device count, user load, media load and long-run stability | Production assumptions and measurable capacity target | Load profile, monitoring record and observed limits |
Execution sequence
Increase realism in controlled stages
- 01
Bench validation
Confirm versions, basic operation and evidence capture.
- 02
Controlled workflow
Run agreed tasks with known users and conditions.
- 03
Failure testing
Test weak network, offline states, recovery and errors.
- 04
Representative field use
Validate the intended site, users, PPE process and workload.
- 05
Evidence review
Record pass, conditional pass, redesign or stop.
Complete Monitoring Platform
Test the operational workflow
Prioritize users, permissions, device administration, map and track, alarms, media, reporting, support ownership and the agreed production environment.
Review the platform →Enterprise Integration
Test the end-to-end data path
Prioritize authentication, field mapping, polling, customer middleware, alarm handling, media access, RTSP behavior, errors and system ownership.
Review integration boundaries →Customer-Owned APK & Backend
Test each model-specific interface
Prioritize the exact developer pack, permissions, keys, lights, events, firmware behavior, APK lifecycle, customer protocol and backend recovery.
Review the APK path →Evidence record
Make every result traceable
A result is useful only when another reviewer can identify what was tested, under which conditions, and whether it matches the intended production scope.
- • Requirement and acceptance ID
- • Configuration and version
- • Test date, site and owner
- • Preconditions and network state
- • Steps and expected result
- • Observed result and measurement
- • Screenshot, log, file or video
- • Pass, conditional pass or fail
- • Defect, owner and due date
- • Retest result and approval
Decision gate
Use evidence for the go/no-go decision
Proceed
Critical workflows pass, responsibilities are accepted, open items have owners, and production differences have an approved validation plan.
Pause or redesign
A critical workflow fails, the architecture is unclear, required evidence is missing, or the tested setup does not represent the intended production environment.
Pilot planning FAQ
Common questions before a POC
Is the one-month sample environment the same as a production pilot?
No. The sample environment is a limited functional demonstration for 1–2 devices. Production hosting, API use, security, performance, retention, integration and scale require a project-specific architecture and acceptance plan.
Should G808 and G901 use the same acceptance plan?
They can share workflow and system criteria, but the hardware, mounting, PPE boundary, permissions, firmware and interface checks must be model-specific. Passing one model does not automatically approve the other.
Which performance values can be confirmed before the pilot?
Documented functions and interfaces can define the test scope. Project values such as latency, refresh rate, alarm timing, retention, reconnection, concurrency and long-run stability should be agreed as acceptance targets and measured under representative conditions.
Who should approve the final result?
The customer should name business, site safety, IT/security and system owners as applicable. HelmetSight and technical stakeholders provide product and interface evidence, but the customer approves fitness for its environment and operating process.
