Voxel to speak at NSC Safety Congress & Expo on turning AI insights into measurable Risk Reduction.

Voxel to speak at NSC Safety Congress & Expo on turning AI insights into measurable Risk Reduction. Company will demonstrate how AI-powered risk intelligence makes prevention quantifiable by measuring risk reduction and risk avoidance before injuries become outcomes. SAN FRANCISCO - August 4, 2026 - Voxel, the computer vision AI company revolutionizing workplace safety and risk, today announced it will speak at the National Safety Council's NSC Safety Congress & Expo, taking place September 11-17, 2026 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. Voxel will exhibit at Booth #1478 throughout the event and lead a session on quantifying the impact of AI-driven safety programs for every level of an organization. Every year, millions of workers are injured on the job, many in incidents that are preventable. Voxel was built to change that math. By turning the cameras already installed in warehouses, retail spaces, and manufacturing facilities into a proactive safety system, Voxel helps organizations spot hazards before they become injuries, giving safety leaders the chance to intervene while there's still time to protect a life. NSC Safety Congress & Expo, the country's longest-running gathering of safety professionals, brings that same mission to life, connecting the people and technology working every day to make sure workers get home safe. Session Details * Title: Beyond the Software: Quantifying Risk Reduction to Organizational Stakeholders, Session #119 * Date and Time: Wednesday, September 16, 2026 | 10:00-11:00 AM ET * Speakers: Chris Skipper, Head of Customer Solutions, and Brittany DeRafelo, Director of Solutions Consulting, Voxel * Description: AI has moved past the hype cycle for most safety organizations. The harder question now is how to prove it's working. In their session, Skipper and DeRafelo help you understand how AI is being used to prioritize, manage, and ultimately minimize risk. Voxel Sa will share how diverse leadership groups are using data to speak a common language of safety. You will see firsthand how AI can move an organization from reactive "injury tracking" to proactive "risk forecasting," identifying the leading indicators that predict serious incidents before they occur. "Safety leaders don't just need better data anymore, they need a way to make that data mean something to the people who weren't in the room when the leading behaviors were building toward risk," said Chris Skipper, Head of Customer Solutions at Voxel. "This session is about closing that gap: showing safety and operations leaders how to take what the software sees and turn it into a story that gets buy-in, budget, and, most importantly, action." Quantifying risk avoidance bridges the gap between what could have happened and what did, turning the incidents an organization prevents into measurable, defensible business value," said Brittany DeRafelo, Director of Solutions Consulting at Voxel. "We're looking forward to sharing what that looks like in practice, and hearing how other teams at NSC are approaching the same challenge." Attendees can visit Voxel at Booth #1478 throughout NSC Safety Congress & Expo to see the platform in action and speak with the team about deploying AI-powered safety insights across their sites.

Voxel wins "overall SupplyTech Innovation of the Year" for second consecutive year in 5th annual SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards program.

Voxel wins "overall SupplyTech Innovation of the Year" for second consecutive year in 5th annual SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards program. Recognition reaffirms Voxel's position as the leading applied AI platform for industrial operations and workplace safety SAN FRANCISCO - June 16, 2026 - Voxel, the computer vision AI company revolutionizing workplace safety and risk, today announced it has been named winner of the "Overall SupplyTech Innovation of the Year" award in the 5th annual SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by SupplyTech Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization that evaluates standout technology companies in the supply chain and logistics industry around the globe. This marks the second consecutive year Voxel has received the honor, having also won the award in the program's 4th annual cycle in 2025. The SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards program recognizes the innovators transforming the global supply chain landscape through technology. This year's program attracted thousands of nominations from companies across more than 15 countries worldwide. Other 2026 award recipients include Boston Dynamics, Toyota Automated Logistics, Yale Lift Truck Technologies, and The Raymond Corporation, among others. Voxel's applied AI platform uses existing camera infrastructure to detect unsafe behaviors, near-misses, vehicle-pedestrian conflicts, ergonomic risks, and high-risk conditions in real time without requiring new hardware. This year's recognition reflects more than detection capabilities. Voxel has dedicated considerable resources to the next problem the supply chain industry faces: getting critical safety intelligence to the people who need it, in time to act. "Most workplace safety technology was built to record what went wrong. Voxel was built to prevent it," said Allan Malcolm, Chief Marketing Officer at Voxel. "Winning this recognition two years in a row reflects what our customers are experiencing every day - not just AI that detects risk, but AI that reaches the right person, with the right information, before an incident occurs. Every worker deserves to get home safe. We've built a platform designed to make that outcome harder to miss." Voxel is hiring for a variety of engineering and technical positions.

Voxel CEO, Vernon O'Donnell to keynote at Reuters Supply Chain USA 2026.

Voxel CEO, Vernon O'Donnell to keynote at Reuters Supply Chain USA 2026. SAN FRANCISCO - June 9, 2026 - Voxel, the computer vision AI company revolutionizing workplace safety and risk, today announced that CEO, Vernon O'Donnell will deliver a keynote at the Reuters Event: Supply Chain USA 2026. The session, titled "Ground-Level Intelligence: How Applied AI is Redefining Supply Chain Performance," will occur on June 23 at the Marriott Marquis in Chicago, IL. As global supply chains face mounting pressure from geopolitical volatility, shifting trade policy, and accelerating customer expectations, organizations are discovering that better forecasts are not the answer. In this keynote, O'Donnell will argue that the next competitive advantage comes from seeing operations as they actually unfold via continuous visibility powered by applied AI and computer vision. The session will explore how leading industrial enterprises are using real-time camera data and computer vision to break through entrenched bottlenecks, reduce operational variability, and reclaim lost capacity, while keeping workers safer in the process. Rather than relying on static optimization models, O'Donnell will make the case for adaptive, responsive orchestration that embeds intelligence directly into physical operations. "Supply chain resilience is not a planning problem - it's a visibility problem," said Vernon O'Donnell, CEO of Voxel. "When you can truly see what's actually happening on the floor, you stop reacting to exceptions and start preventing them. That shift, from human-generated, limited data, to ground-truth and ubiquitous intelligence, is where operational efficiency and worker safety come together." O'Donnell will be joined on stage by John Owen, Senior Vice President of Supply Chain & General Manager at Albertsons, bringing a valuable perspective from one of North America's largest food and drug retailers. The keynote is part of Reuters Events: Supply Chain USA 2026, which convenes more than 500 senior executives from the world's leading retailers, manufacturers, and logistics providers to address the defining challenges of supply chain resilience, customer-centric operations, and AI-driven innovation.

Voxel expands its San Francisco headquarters to accelerate growth and hiring.

Voxel expands its San Francisco headquarters to accelerate growth and hiring. SAN FRANCISCO - May 27, 2026 - Voxel, the computer vision AI company revolutionizing workplace safety and risk, today announced the opening of its expanded San Francisco headquarters in the heart of the city's Financial District. The move marks a significant milestone for a company that has rapidly grown into the trusted AI platform for Fortune 500 enterprises seeking to protect workers and improve operational efficiency simultaneously. Every year, 2.78 million workers lose their lives to work-related incidents globally. Millions more are injured. Voxel was built on the conviction that this is not inevitable. In fact, with the right technology applied thoughtfully, that number can change significantly. As the company has scaled, so has the proof: customers report up to 91% reductions in recordable injuries, millions in direct cost savings, and safety program improvements that compound over time. That mission is what's driving the growth behind this move. "We outgrew our last space because the demand for Applied AI is real and accelerating," said Vernon O'Donnell, CEO of Voxel. "Industrial enterprises across warehousing, manufacturing, logistics, and distribution are no longer asking whether AI belongs in their safety programs; they're asking how fast they can scale it. This new office is where we will build the team that helps them get there." Expanding the Team That Builds the Technology Central to Voxel's growth plans is a deliberate expansion of its Product and Engineering teams. As enterprise demand scales, so does the complexity of the problems Voxel's platform must solve: from real-time computer vision to analytics that help safety leaders understand risk across hundreds of sites simultaneously. The San Francisco office will serve as the home for the engineers and product builders driving that work. Voxel is actively hiring across Product and Engineering.
