Predictive maintenance software for truck and equipment fleets that flags problems before a breakdown, with Bosch now acquiring the company.
A workplace safety tool that reads existing security cameras with computer vision to catch risks like missing PPE or unsafe forklift driving.
Protex AI is a workplace safety tool, founded in 2021 and based in Dublin and Boston. Its software connects to cameras a warehouse or factory already has, which usually means no need for new hardware. Computer vision then watches for safety issues such as missing PPE, unsafe forklift moves, or people entering a restricted area. When it spots a problem, an alert called Protex Signal reaches safety staff within one or two seconds. All video processing happens on-site, and footage is anonymized before any data leaves the building. The tool connects to safety systems like Alcumus and SafetyCulture, and to CMMS and warehouse management systems. It holds ISO/IEC 27001 certification and is built to meet GDPR rules.
This fits a company running warehouses or factories that already have security cameras installed, and a safety or environmental health team looking for earlier warning of at-risk behavior. A common rollout pattern is starting with a handful of sites, then expanding site by site once it proves useful. Pricing is not public and there is no free trial, so expect a sales process and treat any figure as a planning estimate. The vendor lists large customers like Amazon and DHL and cites big drops in risky events, but those numbers come from vendor case studies, not independent audits. The tool watches workers on camera, so plan for clear communication with staff about what it tracks and how footage is used, to build trust before rollout.

Estimate assumptions: This scenario uses a category-based allowance, not a verified price for this product. Based on 1 production deployment. Confirm the vendor’s billing unit and current price or quote before budgeting.
Benefits have not been estimated: The current research does not estimate potential savings, return on investment, or how long it would take to recover the cost. Earlier benefit estimates are excluded.
Confirm current product identity, commercial packaging, data processing terms, sign-in and access rules, retention, integrations, support model, implementation effort, and rollback conditions.
Verify identity, package, availability, ownership, pricing, and security evidence before approving a pilot
Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.
Define what success looks like for a test of Protex AI and assign someone to lead it.
Once the requirements above are met, compare a small trial with how your team works today.
Track adoption, output quality, business results, and actual costs against the estimate.
Use the results to decide whether to stop, adjust, or expand the pilot.
Confirm encryption, how the vendor uses your data, customer data separation, how long data stays and how to delete it, activity records, sign-in and user setup, where data is handled, other companies that process data, past incidents, and what your team must manage.
Review before rollout: confirm how to export your data, revoke access, and return to your existing workflow. Assign an owner and test the rollback plan before expanding use.

Why it’s an alternative—
Compare with UptakeA no-code computer vision tool that lets quality teams build models to spot visual defects without writing code or hiring data scientists.
Why it’s an alternative—
Compare with Landing AIA predictive maintenance tool that forecasts equipment failures from sensor and maintenance data and adds a chat assistant for engineers.
Why it’s an alternative—
Compare with C3 AI ReliabilityRoyal HaskoningDHV (Lanner)
Simulation software for modeling factories and supply chains before making real changes, now sold by Haskoning under its Twinn brand rather than by Lanner.
Why it’s an alternative—
Compare with Lanner WITNESSWhere to check the product, price, security, and support.
