Health and safety in industrial, factory and warehouse environments has long been bemoaned for how it slows work processes down, and for how imperfect it is. It often takes accidents to happen (or be narrowly missed) for interventions to take place, and as a result, thousands of people a year are still killed in workplace accidents in the US alone.
Protex AI is out to make workplaces safer by turning CCTV cameras into AI-powered safety auditors. Its software plugs into an existing CCTV system and maps the actions of people, vehicles and other equipment. The system can automatically capture and report on risks – ultimately allowing H&S teams to make more data-informed decisions.
Since being founded in 2021, Protex AI’s forward thinking approach has seen it expand into locations across Ireland, the UK and the US, winning major customers such as Marks & Spencer and P&G. With significant funding at its back, the company continues to scale to bring AI-powered safety to more workplaces.
