The Hut’ By Hutchinson, the 1st autonomous & ALL-IN-ONE shelter

The Hut’ By Hutchinson is a smart, all-in-one, multi-purpose, autonomous shelter which can be deployed in under 10 minutes.

Ergonomic and intuitive, this patented system converts into a customisable shelter composed of an inflatable tent and includes a host of features:
Lighting, water point, furniture (tables and benches) and an electrical appliance charging zone (in particular for PCs and mobile phones).

This shelter has over 24 hours' autonomy thanks to its battery; generator or mains connection is also possible.

Installed in under 10 minutes via an automatic inflation system, the Hut provides 25 m² of modular space. Several Hut’s may be connected to each other to adapt perfectly to all types of terrain and the number of people to be accommodated.

Its storage system is as ergonomic as its deployment; this shelter is ready to be stored away in 10 minutes.
In addition to comfort, the Hut’ provides the advantage of easy logistics both in terms of transport an storage, thanks to is compact dimensions of just 1m² on the ground!

For victims, it provides a humanising space, a safe chamber between the disaster and a return to daily life.
In fact, being able to take charge of people who have been psychologically affected at T0 from the disaster considerably reduces the risks of post-traumatic illnesses, neuroses, suicide, alcoholism and so on.

For emergency personnel, it provides an pleasant working area for them to offer comfort.

The multi-purpose Hut’ is also ideal for acting as an emergency station, victim rally point, advance command or operational support post or living base for mobile teams in the field.

The Hut' has been marketed since February 2018 and has been delivered to a range of customers, such as the CEA, EDF, Adecco, Red cross and various Total group entities, ...

It has also won the Innovation Expoprotection and Preventica awards.

Our innovations cover a wide variety of particularly demanding markets, from automotive and aerospace to defense, energy, rail and industry.

In the current climate, we are striving to be open to new opportunities and new methodologies to diversify our innovation processes. Therefore, Hutchinson is developing Open Innovation programmes, of which the "MIP team" is one.
The MIP (Make It Possible) team is a group of Hutchinson employees who have been selected to encourage diversity: geographic origins, ages, business backgrounds and group activities.
They have been trained in the I.D.E.A. Design Thinking method. This IDEA programme (Innovation, Design, Entrepreneurship and Arts sciences) is the product of a Hutchinson Chair at the Alliance Ecole Centrale de Lyon et Ecole de Management in Lyons.
The 1st graduating year (9 employees divided into 2 groups) worked on the theme of: "Develop a mobile rescue unit for populations during emergencies". In addition to the teaching and continuous assessment by the 4 researchers who managed them, the training was completed with monthly role playing scenarios. On their arrival, each group presented their innovation, accompanied by a demonstrator and a business model proposal for its development.
After 2 years of innovation and development, the Hut', the 1st smart, humanising shelter, is now about to be produced.
