Detroit-based Andonix, creators of the app Safely Pass, which provides businesses a way to efficiently monitor health and safety standards throughout its workflow, will be one of the newest investments by The Automation Alley 4.0 Accelerator.

In effort to help businesses across the nation, Andonix works to evolve workers in the digital field through improvements to efficiency, machine productivity, quality, and safety compliance.

“Andonix is poised for growth in a variety of manufacturing environments, and this should prove to be a tremendous investment both for Michigan and for Industry 4.0 advances,” says Tom Kelly, executive director at Automation Alley. “I’m very impressed by Andonix’s tech moxie in quickly shifting gears during the pandemic to create Safely Pass based on the knowledge it garnered from its original Industry 4.0 driven Smart Work Station platform. That ability to pivot is at the heart of an Industry 4.0 mindset.”

The Smart Work Station Platform was developed to prepare and train manufacturing employees, connecting them all to each other and to the company’s workflow. The product also addresses and solves other problems including industry turnover, operational insufficiencies, increased costs, and distanced train times.
