Invixium acquires Triax Technologies

August 2024 News & Events, Access Control & Identity Management

Invixium announced its acquisition of US-based Triax Technologies (Triax). This strategic acquisition expands Invixium's portfolio with Triax’s AI-based RTLS (Real-Time Location Systems) and connected worker solutions, designed to improve worker productivity and equipment utilisation.

With this move, Invixium broadens its scope beyond entry-point access control to address the complex daily challenges within critical infrastructure and industrial worksites such as oil and gas, manufacturing, construction, chemical, mining, and energy.

“We have identified more real-world problems to solve,” said Shiraz Kapadia, CEO and President of Invixium. “This acquisition highlights our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that address our customers' health, safety, security, and productivity demands for their sites. With the addition of Triax, we now offer comprehensive end-to-end solutions, from secure entry points to the entire operational environment.”

Triax’s flagship connected worker solution, Spot-r, is an innovative non-GPS platform featuring a patented and scalable mesh network, compact hardware, and actionable dashboards. The system uses wearable tags to collect and transmit data to cloud-based software, delivering near real-time insights. The rugged, easy-to-deploy solution operates on an independent network, bypassing internal IT infrastructure. The software dashboards and AI-based analytics help industries identify and eliminate productivity pinch points, track equipment usage efficiently, and reduce emergency response times, thereby enhancing overall site safety and operational efficiency.

The technologies of Invixium and Triax will help organisations minimise unauthorised access risks and streamline operations, setting new standards in industrial safety and efficiency. With proven ROI from Triax solutions, including significant labour savings through increased time on tools and reduced injury claims, Invixium is poised to transform industrial operations globally.

Invixium is committed to a seamless integration process, ensuring service continuity and introducing a broader spectrum of technologies to address the evolving demands of the customer base of both companies.
