- Vision
- Mission
- Philosophy
Our vision is to offer uncompromised mobile device experiences to users in hazardous locations worldwide, enabling our users to perform any task on a digital device, such as a smartphone, as if it were their personal device.
Technology has revolutionised our daily lives, and opened up new possibilities in every industry. We see a tremendous opportunity for growth in adopting mobile handheld devices in hazardous areas, where Ex smartphones, connectivity, and SW applications, all working together, have traditionally been challenges. Our mission is to lead this transformation, making it easier for industries to leverage digital devices and reshape how they interact with technology in hazardous locations.
Our philosophy is rooted in innovation and a relentless pursuit of combining quality, safety & sophisticated design. With years of experience developing intrinsically safe smartphones and enclosures for Wi-Fi access points, we understand the complexities, costs, and risks involved in building devices from scratch and manufacturing them. This experience led us to a bold idea: encapsulating premium consumer devices, like the Apple iPhone, for hazardous environments. While others have tried, creating bulky, heavy, non-repairable, and non-recyclable solutions, we saw an opportunity for innovation. Driven by our love for challenges, we will push the boundaries of material science, design, and explosion protection to create new solutions that deliver cost efficiency, safety, quality and sophisticated design.
