Flox Intelligence has developed edge AI devices designed to prevent wildlife collisions across railways, airports, and roadways. The startup's specialized hardware identifies approaching animals in real time and emits tailored, species-specific acoustic deterrents to safely guide them away from active transit corridors. By deploying real-time object recognition and automated acoustic cues directly at the edge, Flox aims to reduce costly infrastructure disruptions, vehicle damage, and animal fatalities. The system operates autonomously in remote locations, providing critical transport operators with an automated ecological safety layer without requiring continuous human monitoring or constant internet connectivity.
