- PRYSMEX, finalist of CEMEX Ventures
2017 Startup Competition, is the company's fourth investment.
- The PRYSMEX solution was successfully
tested and currently works in all of CEMEX Mexico’s cement
plants.
CEMEX Ventures announced today that it invested in PRYSMEX, a
Mexico-based startup that offers a solution capable of detecting
and helping to prevent workplace accidents through the Internet of
Things and real-time data collection.
PRYSMEX’s innovative solution features a web platform with a
collaborative management app that monitors the environmental and
geolocation variables of unsafe acts and conditions on customized
3D maps, enabling real-time decision-making and increased industry
safety and productivity.
The solution marks a fundamental advance in health and safety
for the construction sector. Through the Internet of Things,
PRYSMEX enables a comprehensive analysis of data such as impacts,
light and noise levels, locations, temperatures, and the presence
of toxic gases, among others. Placed on the workers’ helmets,
PRYSMEX devices monitor and communicate in real time users’
conditions, alerting them to potential situations and high-risk
areas. In addition, its web application provides an analytical
report of workers’ and plant conditions, enabling better workplace
decision-making and accident prevention at all times.
CEMEX evaluated the solution, and after its successful trial
period, installed PRYSMEX technological solution at all its cement
plants in Mexico. In addition to CEMEX Ventures’ investment in the
application, PRYSMEX will enjoy access to a wide-ranging portfolio
of strategic industry contacts, fostering the execution of new
projects in international markets. This solution offers CEMEX
another important tool to promote its employees’ health and safety
—its top priority.
Founded by chemical engineer Susana Ruiz and civil engineer
Patricio de Villa in Monterrey, Mexico, PRYSMEX was the finalist of
