mHUB Member Spotlight: Guardhat
Among its worldwide satellite locations, industrial safety
technology leader – Guardhat Inc. – chose mHUB as its second Midwest location.
This Detroit-based company is focused on creating safer work environments for
those on the frontlines of manufacturing floors and plants. With eight patents
already secured, Guardhat has created a multi-product, feature-packed
intelligent safety system that integrates cutting edge wearable technology and
advanced proprietary software. Its system is equipped to detect, alert and help
prevent hazardous industrial work-related incidents while collecting data to
support and improve industrial worker safety programs.
Guardhat’s team at mHUB creates the infrastructure and software platforms to
support its wearable devices, making mHUB the perfect fit to expand its
operation. According to senior principle engineer William Basser, “From the
environmental chambers to the laser cutting and testing labs, we’re sure to
take advantage of every manufacturing capability mHUB offers. Being a part of a
knowledgeable, motivated, and innovative community inspires us to continue
improving Guardhat technology.”
Between the 4,000 lives lost on the job each year in the U.S. and the $250
billion spent on safety expenses, a solution that protects workers, reduces
costs, and improves efficiency has been long overdue. Since joining mHUB in
June, Guardhat continues to innovate and grow its safety system offerings
utilizing the tools and resources available to members. The company recently
closed a $20MM Series A funding round, which will support the international
strides they are making in the development of their technology, growth of
business, and breadth of reach.
mHUB couldn’t be more proud to host a company making such significant impact in
manufacturing, entrepreneurship, and product
innovation.
