What StrongArm Tech does

StrongArm Technologies, Inc. (DBA StrongArm Tech) is a Denver, Colorado-based private company that sells the SafeWork Platform — an integrated workplace injury-prevention system combining wearable hardware, AI-powered analytics, and microlearning training. The SafeWork Sensor is an industrial-tough, water- and dust-resistant wearable weighing just over five ounces that captures multi-modal movement data (bends, tilts, twists, lift rate, lift weight) and delivers real-time auditory and vibration alerts via a touchscreen interface with up to 36-hour battery life. Captured data is processed through a proprietary AI algorithm that produces a 0–100 Safety Score, predictive risk assessments, and personalized training recommendations; aggregated anonymized data across deployments feeds a cross-employer data flywheel branded the FUSE Platform.

The company's commercial offering pairs the sensor with SafeWork Training — a subscription library of over 3,000 AI-curated microlearning courses available in any language and delivered on a 12-month curriculum, also accessible directly on the sensor device. Management sells through direct enterprise field sales on a quote-based annual subscription, supported by case-study and white-paper lead generation, with named deployments at Walmart, PetSmart, Dot Foods, AT&T, Hub Group, Loblaw, Tyson, Lineage, Penske, GE, Toyota, 3M, P&G, Schneider Electric, and others. The company was founded in 2013 by Sean Petterson, raised a $50 million Series B led by Drive Capital in January 2022, and merged with training-software provider Worklete in April 2023 to consolidate hardware-plus-training under the SafeWork Platform brand.
