Imaging Excellence
-
Primary Camera: 48 MP, image stabilisation, zoom capability, up to 1080p at 60 fps video.
-
Thermal Module (Optional): FLIR Lepton 3.5 sensor with 160×120 resolution, MSX® image overlay, temperature detection from –20 °C to 400 °C.
Thermal imaging is ideal for detecting equipment overheating, leaks, or anomalies during routine inspections. The module is easily removable outside hazardous zones when not required.
Connectivity & Location
Equipped with Wi-Fi 6/6E and Bluetooth 5.2, the Navigator Z1 supports fast, reliable wireless connections for remote collaboration and app updates. Integrated multi-constellation GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS, SBAS) enables location-aware workflows and accurate field reporting.
Rugged & Field-Ready
Every element of the Navigator Z1 is engineered for durability. The device is dust-tight, water-resistant, impact-resistant, and built to endure harsh industrial conditions. With its hot-swappable 2550 mAh battery (charged or replaced outside the hazardous zone), you can work through a full shift without disruption.
Realwear Navigator Z1
ATEX Zone 1 wearable for hands-free collaboration and inspection
The RealWear Navigator Z1 is an intrinsically safe, voice-controlled wearable designed for frontline professionals operating in hazardous environments. Built for sectors like oil & gas, mining, and pharmaceuticals, it empowers workers to perform tasks hands-free, access critical information on demand, and collaborate instantly with remote experts — all without compromising safety.
Whether you’re troubleshooting in the field, performing inspections, or documenting maintenance, the Navigator Z1 keeps your focus on the job, not the device. Its rugged design, advanced imaging options, and proven voice control make it the most capable wearable in its class for ATEX Zone 1.
The Navigator Z1’s compact, lightweight design (approx. 383 g with battery) mounts securely to PPE such as hard hats, safety glasses, and hearing protection. The adjustable display arm can be positioned for either eye, making it suitable for different user preferences and job requirements.
Its intuitive interface is optimised for voice-only control, meaning workers can navigate menus, open apps, capture images, or start calls without touching the device — perfect for glove use and high-noise environments.
