You can’t hear it coming. You can’t see it. You can’t smell it. But in an instant, it can stop a heartbeat.
That’s the terrifying reality of electrical hazards. In industrial workplaces, they’re not just one of many risks—they’re among the deadliest, silently lurking behind a control panel, a damaged wire, or a machine that looks perfectly safe.
While traditional safety measures like lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures and PPE go a long way in reducing risk, they can’t catch everything—especially when human error, split-second decisions, or unexpected exposures come into play.
That’s why more safety teams are going beyond checklists and protocols, turning to wearable voltage detectors that alert workers to electrical danger before it strikes. Enter Proxxi by Grace.
In this article, we’ll explore what Proxxi is, how it works, and why this data-driven safety solution is becoming a critical layer of protection for keeping your teams safe.

Meet Proxxi: A New Frontier in Electrical Safety
Proxxi by Grace is a wearable device for electrical hazard detection—a lightweight wristband that senses live voltage and instantly warns the wearer.
Think of it as the Apple Watch of industrial safety, but instead of tracking your steps, it’s designed to detect live voltage and alert you in real time. Just like an Apple Watch gives you a nudge to stand or close your rings, Proxxi delivers instant alerts to keep you aware of invisible electrical risks before you get too close.
It pairs seamlessly with a mobile app and management dashboard to deliver not just alerts but actionable insights that drive continuous safety improvement.
Whether you're walking on a plant floor, inspecting panels, or troubleshooting energized equipment, this electrical safety wearable adds a proactive, always-on layer of protection—right where you need it.
How Proxxi by Grace Works
Built for tough industrial environments, the Proxxi wristband is engineered to deliver real-time electrical hazard detection with simplicity and precision. Here’s how it works:
- Instant Alerts: As you approach energized equipment, Proxxi activates with haptic vibrations, beeps, and flashing LEDs. The closer you get, the stronger the alert, ensuring awareness even in loud or busy work areas.
- Wide Voltage Range: Proxxi detects AC voltage from 110V to 500kV, making it effective across a wide spectrum of electrical environments. That means it’s just as useful around standard low-voltage systems, like 110V panels commonly found in facilities and light industrial settings, as it is around ultra-high voltage equipment used in large-scale power transmission.
- Smart Settings: Workers can mute or adjust alerts for specific tasks, such as energized work, while still staying protected.
More Than Just a Device, It’s a Data-Driven Safety System
What sets Proxxi apart from other electrical safety devices is how it turns real-time alerts into long-term safety insights.
Through the companion dashboard, safety managers can:
- Track who’s wearing their devices and when alerts are happening
- Identify high-risk areas or patterns
- Monitor compliance and training effectiveness
- Adjust protocols based on actual worker exposure data
By shifting focus from lagging indicators like incident reports to leading indicators based on actual exposure, Proxxi empowers companies to manage electrical risk proactively, not reactively.
Built for the Real World
Proxxi was designed with engineers and operators in mind:
- Durable: IP68-rated and rugged enough for harsh environments
- Comfortable: Lightweight and non-conductive
- Reliable: Rechargeable battery lasts ~30 hours per charge
- Connected: Syncs via Bluetooth with the Proxxi app for seamless use
When a wearable voltage detector is this easy to adopt, it becomes a part of your team’s everyday gear—not just another safety gadget.
Why It Matters
Electrical injuries are among some of the most serious and fatal incidents in industrial environments. They’re often devastating, frightening, costly, and disruptive. And in many cases, they’re also entirely preventable.
Whether you're working in industrial manufacturing or facilities maintenance, integrating a wearable voltage detection system like Proxxi can help:
- Reduce near-misses and unreported exposures
- Boost worker confidence and retention
- Showcase your company’s commitment to safety
- Save lives: plain and simple
When safety becomes proactive instead of reactive, everyone wins.
