Spot-r by Triax Triax's flagship Spot-r system connects workers, equipment and managers through an infrastructure network, sensors, and a cloud-based dashboard.
Spot-r's wearable device, known as the Spot-r Clip, is worn by workers and connects to the Spot-r network on site to provide real-time worker location and activity data. The Clip records and transmits slip, trip and fall events to designated supervisors via text message, dashboard or email notifications. A push-button on the wearable device allows workers to report unsafe conditions, site hazards or other potential injuries in real-time without leaving their work area. Supervisors can also trigger a site wide evacuation alert to each worker's device in case of emergency.
The dashboard provides aggregate on-going and historical data on worker time and attendance, location, certification, subcontractor activity, and safety incidents.
In October 2017, Spot-r was awarded a Business Insurance 2017 Innovation Award for innovative risk management products and services.
Spot-r EquipTag In November 2017, Triax announced the Spot-r EquipTag, which tracks operator identity, equipment location, and equipment utilization without the limitations of traditional telematics solutions such as equipment size or indoor/outdoor location. The sensor uses the Spot-r network to track location and utilization and layers in Spot-r Clip workforce and certification data to identify how equipment is being operated and by whom at the job site.
Partnerships In October 2017, Triax announced that Lettire Construction Corporation is the first New York City contractor to implement Spot-r at its job site.
Acquisition by Invixium In July 2024, Triax Technologies was acquired by Invixium, a provider of biometric access control and workforce management solutions.
