Invixium, a global major in biometric access control, workforce, and visitor management solutions, proudly announces 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.

Innovative solutions

"We’ve identified more real-world problems to solve," said Shiraz Kapadia, CEO & President of Invixium, adding "This acquisition highlights our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that address our customers’ health, safety, security, and productivity demands for their sites."

Shiraz Kapadia continues, "With the addition of Triax, we now offer comprehensive end-to-end solutions - from secure entry points to the entire operational environment. This bold step marks a pivotal advancement in our growth strategy."

Internal IT infrastructure

The system utilises wearable tags to collect and transmit data to cloud-based software

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 utilises 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.

Invixium’s established portfolio

"Triax’s labour productivity and workplace safety platform perfectly complement Invixium’s established portfolio of biometric access solutions and services," stated Scott MacDonald, Chairman of the Board at Triax Technologies.

He adds, "I am confident that Invixium will continue to enhance the combined solutions and expand their impact, driving significant value for our collective industrial customers and stakeholders."

New standards in industrial safety

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. The financial terms of the acquisition have not been disclosed.
