Proxgy will be showcasing its ecosystem that comprises of an innovative range of Industrial IoT products and tailor-made software tools that empower Industrial Edge Workers to be at the forefront of the digital revolution.

Proxgy Ecosystem.

The Proxgy ecosystem is structured into three integral layers: the Industrial IoT Layer, Software Middle Layer, and SaaS Subscription Layer. Each layer plays a crucial role in delivering a seamless and efficient experience to users.

SaaS Subscription Layer 3

The pinnacle of the Proxgy ecosystem is the SaaS Subscription Layer. This layer harnesses the power of AI/ML models, designed in accordance with industry standards. Drawing data from the devices in Layer 1, these intelligent models derive valuable insights and predictive analytics. By offering subscription-based access to these data-driven solutions, the SaaS Layer empowers businesses to make informed decisions, optimize processes, and unlock new avenues for growth and innovation.

Software Middle Layer 2

Sitting at the core of the ecosystem, the Software Middle Layer is instrumental in facilitating seamless chipset to cloud connectivity. This layer incorporates sophisticated algorithms, thoughtfully tuned to cater to client-specific use cases.

Industrial IoT Layer 1

At the foundation of the Proxgy ecosystem lies the Industrial IoT Layer. This layer comprises cutting-edge and innovative devices, meticulously designed to act as entry nodes for the industrial workforce. These advanced devices provide seamless access to the ecosystem, empowering industrial professionals with real-time data and enhanced connectivity. The IoT layer consists of:

1.      SmartHat – A smart safety helmet designed to enhance workplace safety. The helmet comes equipped with real-time tracking, environmental sensors, human condition monitoring sensors, and communication tools to enhance situational awareness for workers in industries such as construction, manufacturing, mining, and oil & gas.

2.      Sleefe – A lightweight, easy-to-use smart device that attaches to any cap and converts it into a smart cap. Sleefe is equipped with a camera, speakers, and mic, enabling a wide range of on- and off-field optimizations in industries such as logistics, warehousing, policing, surveillance, and banking.

3.      Lockator – A 4G-enabled smart industrial lock that provides on-the-move security and access control solutions for cargos, containers, and facilities. The lock is capable of geofencing, NFC+RFID unlock, GPS and speed tracking of shipping containers, satellite connectivity in the absence of a network, and tamper-proof e-SIMs.

4.      Audiocube – A 4G-enabled soundbox used for instant payment confirmation received from QR codes from all leading payment banks. The Soundbox disrupts the existing market by offering first-in-segment customizable features like an LED screen and thermal printer.

5.      Airhat – According to the World Health Organization, 1.4 million people die prematurely every year due to exposure to pollutants. To combat the risk of polluted air in working spaces such as mines and factories, Proxgy has developed the Airhat technology, which comprises HEPA + UV + charcoal filters that purify the air ventilated across the wearer's head and form an air curtain to ensure a healthy work environment.

6.      Birdbox – A carry-on retractable camera unit that can be deployed remotely to a maximum height of 15 meters. The wheels and design make it easy to carry and deploy at different locations, making it ideal for industries such as construction, mining, and oil & gas.

Our advanced technology is designed to enhance safety, optimize operations, and drive efficiency across various sectors, including logistics, warehousing, transportation, and more.
