Our take
Industry warehouses are vital to the world's economy, but workplace injuries remain a real and present danger to workers. Voxel solves this problem with its AI-powered security cameras, designed to monitor environments and detect hazards.
Voxel's AI integrates with existing security cameras to detect safety risks, from spills to near-miss vehicle collisions. Once a hazard is identified, it alerts key personnel, enabling immediate action. This proactive system has significantly reduced workplace injuries, with like like Michale's, Dollar Tree, and Clorox seeing accident rates drop by up to 80%, while also improving operational efficiency.
Since its launch in 2020, it has raised $30M. With this substantial funding under its belt, Voxel is working to expand its reach to new industries like ports and airports. With this commitment to demonstrating AI's positive impact, the space is an exciting one for Voxel.
