What Modjoul does
Modjoul Inc. is a US-based workplace safety technology company founded in 2016 by former AIG executives Eric Martinez (CEO) and Jen Thorson (COO), headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina. The company develops an integrated ecosystem of patented industrial IoT wearables, Ultra Wideband (UWB) proximity-based collision avoidance systems, and AI-powered analytics designed to reduce musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), forklift and powered industrial vehicle accidents, and operational inefficiencies across industrial worksites. Core products include the SmartBelt (a patented belt-based wearable that monitors bending, twisting, and ergonomic risk with real-time haptic feedback), HaloGuard (a bilateral UWB collision avoidance system for forklifts, power haulers, and cranes that alerts both operator and pedestrian), Watchdog (an asset management and tracking system using sensors and beacons), and the AI General Manager Platform, which deploys six domain-specialized AI agents (Safety, Productivity, Maintenance, Logistics, Environmental, Operations) to autonomously surface insights and recommended actions. Newer additions include the HaloSite tagless AI camera (2024) and vertical-specific bundles for mining and construction.
Modjoul serves enterprise customers across distribution/warehousing, manufacturing, mining, construction, aviation, and hospitality. Named customers include Amazon (also an investor), Nucor Corporation, Goodyear, WestRock, Greif, Sanderson Farms, Solvay, VLS Environmental Solutions, Elevate Textiles, a major US airline, and a major hospitality management company. The company claims to have worked with hundreds of companies since 2016, with documented outcomes such as 70% reduction in risky bends at the world's largest e-commerce company, 85% year-over-year injury frequency reduction at Elevate Textiles, and 30% reduction in sprains and strains at the largest US steel producer.
The business model is hybrid: hardware is sold in bundled packages (e.g., $4,500 Worker Safety Bundle of 10 SmartBelts, $7,490 Power Hauler HaloGuard Bundle) on a one-time/perpetual license basis, while software, analytics, and AI agent subscriptions are priced on an annual basis, and consulting/implementation services supplement the core offering. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with a partner channel including insurance carriers, EHS consultants (Life & Safety Consultants), and resellers (Stanley in the UK, Exxovantage). Modjoul has raised approximately $12M across three disclosed rounds, most recently a March 2025 round of $11.7M, and operates with 11–50 employees across the US, Europe, and Australia. The mobile application is currently limited to the United States, while the hardware platform ships globally.

Modjoul product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Modjoul sells an integrated workplace safety platform combining patented SmartBelt ergonomic wearables, HaloGuard bilateral collision avoidance systems for forklifts/power haulers/cranes, Watchdog asset and equipment tracking sensors, and the AI General Manager analytics platform. Customers buy hardware plus a software license, deploy the wearables and sensors across industrial operations, and use the AI-powered dashboard to monitor lumbar risk, forklift proximity, PPE compliance, and asset location in real time. The offering is targeted at enterprise distribution centers, manufacturing plants, mining operations, and construction sites seeking to reduce musculoskeletal injuries, vehicle accidents, and operating expenses.
Product overview
Modjoul offers an integrated ecosystem of workplace safety and operational efficiency products centered on three core hardware platforms — the SmartBelt wearable, the HaloGuard collision avoidance system, and the Watchdog asset management system — all unified through the Modjoul Dashboard and AI General Manager Platform. The SmartBelt is a patented belt-based safety wearable that monitors ergonomic risk (lumbar bending/twisting), provides real-time haptic feedback, and integrates with HaloGuard for forklift proximity detection; the HaloGuard system uses Ultra Wideband technology for bilateral collision avoidance on forklifts, power haulers, and cranes; and the Watchdog system provides real-time asset tracking, inventory management, and loss prevention. The AI General Manager Platform aggregates data from all three systems, deploying AI agents (Operation, Safety, Productivity, Maintenance, Environmental, Logistics) to autonomously identify inefficiencies and advise on risk reduction. Products are sold individually, as bundled packages (Worker Safety Bundle, Forklift HaloGuard Bundle, Power Hauler HaloGuard Bundle), or as the HaloSite AI camera for tagless environments.

Modjoul competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Triax Technologies: Triax provides IoT wearables and connected-worker solutions for construction and industrial safety, including the Spot-r platform that monitors worker location, falls, and ergonomics. It is the most direct competitor to Modjoul's SmartBelt in wearable-based workforce safety.
- Kenzen: Kenzen offers a wearable worker safety platform that combines biometric and environmental sensors with predictive analytics to prevent heat illness and overexertion injuries. It overlaps directly with Modjoul's wearable-based ergonomic injury-prevention use case for industrial workforces.
- StrongArm Technologies: StrongArm fuses wearable sensors with AI to measure industrial worker risk and reduce musculoskeletal injuries, very similar in concept to Modjoul's SmartBelt and Injury Prediction Score. It is a direct comparable in the connected-worker safety wearables market.
- Soter Analytics: Soter Analytics uses AI on body-mounted sensor data to assess ergonomic risk and coach workers on safe movement, directly comparable to Modjoul's body-mechanics and injury-prediction approach. It targets many of the same manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing customers.
- Brigade Electronics: Brigade supplies vehicle-mounted cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and proximity warning systems for forklifts and heavy equipment, overlapping directly with Modjoul's HaloGuard forklift and crane collision-avoidance product line. It is a relevant comparable in the forklift/vehicle safety category.
Broad incumbents
- SafetyCulture: SafetyCulture (iAuditor) is a broader workplace operations and safety platform used across industries for inspections, incident reporting, and training. While not wearable-first, it competes for the same safety-and-operations software budget as Modjoul's AI General Manager platform and serves overlapping enterprise customers.
- VelocityEHS: VelocityEHS is a long-established Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) software platform covering ergonomics, incident management, and compliance. It is comparable as a broader incumbent addressing many of the same workplace-safety problems Modjoul targets with its AI-driven platform.
- Industrial Scientific: Industrial Scientific (now part of Fortive) is a leading provider of gas-detection and connected-worker safety solutions for industrial environments. It is a relevant broad incumbent in worker safety instrumentation and is increasingly moving into AI-driven safety analytics adjacent to Modjoul's AI GM platform.
- Samsara: Samsara is a large industrial IoT platform combining telematics, asset tracking, worker safety, and AI video analytics for operations. It overlaps with Modjoul's Watchdog asset tracking and HaloGuard/HaloSite vision-based safety offerings, and competes for enterprise operations budgets.
- Zebra Technologies: Zebra Technologies is a major provider of industrial asset tracking, RFID/RTLS, barcode, and worker-sensing solutions for warehouses and manufacturing. Its portfolio directly overlaps with Modjoul's Watchdog asset management and smartbelt-style workforce tracking use cases at much larger scale.
