Problem
Industrial workers in environments with high-voltage equipment face a significant risk of electrical injuries due to human error and limitations of traditional safety procedures. Existing handheld sensors can be forgotten or inaccessible, leaving workers vulnerable to unseen electrical hazards.
Solution
Proxxi provides a wearable, voltage-sensing wristband that enhances workplace safety by providing multi-sensory alerts to workers when they are near energized equipment. The device detects electrical fields and provides real-time warnings, acting as a constant, always-aware second set of eyes. This allows for proactive identification of potential hazards and reduces the risk of electrical injuries by addressing human error in everyday work processes. The system also provides aggregated safety data, enabling organizations to identify risk patterns and proactively improve safety protocols.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes electrical utility workers, industrial manufacturers, construction site personnel, and first responder teams who work in environments with potential electrical hazards.
