August 29, 2022 – The founders of Blaxtair wanted the technologies they had been working on for the military to be used in a different way, to use artificial intelligence to protect people in the field.
Blaxtair – an on-board camera – helps prevent collisions between pedestrians and industrial vehicles (such as forklifts, for example). The product is especially useful in areas such as warehouses, factories, construction, road work, and mining.
Safety is at the “core” of Blaxtair’s activity, says Franck Gayraud, CEO and co-founder. This concern has been present since the company’s inception – “we worked a lot with our customers on the impact we have on safety very early on.” Blaxtair has installed a base of around 15,000 units in the field around the world, and Gayraud says that with these numbers they are hoping to significantly reduce unnecessary accidents.
