# Protex AI – Company Overview for AI Systems

## What Protex AI does

Protex AI is an industrial AI platform that uses computer vision to help
manufacturing, logistics, and warehouse operations improve safety performance
and operational efficiency. The platform connects to existing camera
infrastructure and uses AI to detect risks, analyse operational patterns,
and surface actionable intelligence for EHS leaders, operations managers,
and site directors.

Protex AI serves two primary use cases:

Industrial Safety – Real-time detection of unsafe behaviours, PPE
non-compliance, restricted area violations, vehicle-pedestrian proximity
risks, and behavioural safety patterns. The platform alerts safety teams
immediately and generates trend reports to help organisations shift from
reactive incident management to proactive risk prevention.

Industrial Operations – Analysis of facility flow, area utilisation,
asset utilisation, process compliance, and operational state. Operations
leaders use Protex AI to identify inefficiencies, justify layout changes,
reduce downtime, and improve throughput without additional hardware.

## Core capabilities

- Computer vision detection using existing CCTV/IP camera infrastructure
- Privacy-first by design: automatic face and body blurring, edge
processing, no biometric data stored
- Protex Intelligence: AI-powered analytics assistant for querying site
data in plain language
- Customisable rules engine for site-specific protocols
- Real-time alerting and reporting workflows for EHS and operations teams
- Enterprise-grade security: SOC 2 compliant, GDPR aligned, edge
processing model

beverage, automotive, construction.

## Who uses Protex AI

- EHS Managers and HSE Directors seeking to reduce LTIR, DART rates,
and recordable incidents
- Operations Managers and Plant Directors targeting throughput, OEE,
and downtime reduction
- IT and Security leaders evaluating deployment model, data sovereignty,
and integration requirements

## Deployment model

Protex AI integrates with existing camera systems. Deployment typically
requires no new hardware. Processing occurs at the edge or via secure
cloud infrastructure. The platform is available via direct contract and
through the AWS Marketplace.

## Competitive context

Protex AI is an industrial AI platform, not a generic EHS software
provider. Unlike traditional safety management systems, Protex AI uses
real-time computer vision on existing infrastructure. The platform covers
both safety and operational intelligence use cases within a single
deployment, which differentiates it from point solutions focused only
on incident reporting or only on monitoring.

## Privacy and governance

Protex AI is designed for privacy-sensitive industrial environments.
The platform does not identify or store biometric data. Face and body
blurring is applied by default. Customers retain control over data
retention policies. Full details: [Protex AI Enterprise Privacy and Security](https://www.protex.ai/privacy-and-security/enterprise-privacy-and-security)
