Last week, we headed down to Birmingham NEC for the Emergency Tech Show—and it did not disappoint. From robots to autonomous support vehicles, the future of emergency services is here, and it's seriously impressive.
Robots That Roll Deep We met machines built to save lives—literally. These bots can navigate disaster zones, deliver supplies, and even help with triage. One standout? A rugged little crawler that beams back real-time data from places humans can’t safely reach. It’s like having a digital scout on the frontlines.
Ambulance Tech That’s Smarter Than Ever Forget flashing lights and sirens—today’s ambulances are mobile clinics with AI onboard. We saw setups with remote diagnostics, augmented reality overlays for paramedics, and modular interiors that adapt to different emergencies. It’s not just transport anymore—it’s treatment on wheels.
Mobile Command Centres That Run the Show These units are the nerve centres of major incidents. Think satellite comms, drone feeds, predictive analytics—all packed into a deployable hub that can be up and running in minutes. We stepped inside one and it felt like NASA meets MI5.
SafeTeam: Leading the Charge We were especially proud to take SafeTeam along for discussions —bringing expertise in tech-driven safety solutions to the show. Our work in integrating smart systems into emergency response is pushing boundaries and making real-world impact in the NHS.
The Emergency Tech Show gave us a glimpse into what’s next—and it’s bold, brilliant, and built to save lives. We’re buzzing to see how these innovations roll out across the UK and beyond.
