MAKESafe Tools selected by the U.S. Air Force
MAKESafe Tools has been selected to participate in the AFWERX Fusion Showcase later this month. Air Force evaluators selected our modular IOT solution submission out of over 335 submissions. We will have the opportunity to showcase our prototype to the USAF board and to compete for additional funding and partnerships with the USAF and other government agencies.
What is the AFWERX Fusion Showcase?
With the Base of the Future initiative, the USAF has an opportunity to rebuild Tyndall Air Force Base as a universal symbol of innovation and excellence. They are seeking solutions that leverage existing and emerging technology to maximize operational efficiency and effectiveness. The AFWERX Fusion Showcase is the culminating event where industry, academia, and the Department of Defense come together to explore the potential of new technologies to create this base of the future.
Our Solution
MAKESafe’s 2nd generation of industrial safety devices adds predictive analytics and operational intelligence to our plug-and-play safety devices. This new technology can be applied to production or maintenance machinery as well as general infrastructure machinery. While many of the AFWERX proposals describe broad software solutions, we focus on physical hardware and devices that feed data into those cloud-based systems and improve the safety and performance of machinery.
Executive Summary:
Find our proposal on the AFWERKS Website (requires registration) or check out the video summary below.
