Smart Innovators: Video Analytics Report for Safety 2026
Verdantix evaluated 10 vendors in the market, evaluating providers across core safety and technical capabilities. The report also points to the next wave of innovations shaping the sector, including vision language models, AI agents, predictive safety intelligence, and deeper integration with EHS and operational systems. Protex AI was recognized as a vendor with market-leading capabilities, reflecting the strength of its platform and position in the evolving safety technology landscape.
“This recognition from Verdantix is a great achievement for Protex AI,” said Dave Rowland, Head of Marketing, Protex AI. “Safety leaders are under real pressure to move beyond lagging indicators and take action before incidents occur. We built our platform to help teams discover risks faster, understand what’s happening across their sites, and make faster, better-informed decisions. We believe this recognition reflects both the maturity of our platform and the direction the market is headed.”
The Verdantix report explains that video analytics for safety is an increasingly important technology for EHS teams as traditional safety approaches struggle to keep up with operational complexity, employee pressures, and the need for early intervention. We also outline how this category is moving beyond static, rules-based monitoring to more intelligent systems that can provide context, insight, and actionability at scale.
For Protex AI, this recognition confirms a clear market shift. Organizations want safety technology that does more than just detect isolated events. They want a system that uncovers patterns, uncovers leading indicators, supports site-level and enterprise-wide visibility, and helps connect safety data to broader operational decisions. That’s where Protex AI continues to focus on innovation.
“The future of workplace safety will be more proactive, more connected and more intelligent,” said Dave Rowland. “The combination of computer vision, AI inference, and operational context creates powerful opportunities for EHS teams. We are focused on turning that opportunity into measurable, real-world impact for our customers.”
The report also notes that buyers are increasingly seeking platforms that combine powerful detection capabilities with privacy controls, flexible configuration, analytics, and seamless integration into broader EHS workflows. As the market matures and more organizations look to scale video analytics across sites, teams, and risk categories, these areas are becoming key differentiators.
Protex AI helps enterprise EHS teams use AI-powered video analytics to identify risks, detect hazardous events, and gain early visibility into leading indicators across industrial environments. Its platform is designed to support more proactive safety decision-making and help organizations build safer, smarter operations.
