Växjö, Sweden, December 1, 2025 * * * JLT Mobile Computers,, a leading provider of high-performance rugged mobile computing solutions for demanding industrial environments, and MākuSafe®, a prominent connected-worker wearable and safety data analytics platform, today announced a strategic partnership in the USA. The collaboration is set to deliver a powerful, integrated solution that enhances worker safety, improves operational efficiency, and accelerates digital transformation across various industrial sectors.
This partnership is built on the successful field collaboration already underway between the two companies, who currently serve shared clients. The combined solution features JLT’s ruggedized mobile computers installed directly on powered industrial vehicles (PIVs) or forklifts—working in tandem with MākuSafe’s wearable technology and its Scout™ forklift safety application. This integration provides operators with vital real-time visibility into pedestrian proximity, significantly helping to reduce hazardous forklift-pedestrian interactions.
This type of risk remains a serious hazard in warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities where forklift drivers often have difficulty seeing pedestrians. Early adopters leveraging the combined technologies have already reported substantial reductions in these interactions over short timeframes, alongside measurable gains in productivity linked to improved situational awareness and risk mitigation.
“We are excited to formalize our partnership with MākuSafe,” said Eric Miller, CEO at JLT Mobile Computers USA. “Combining our rugged mobile computing solutions with their innovative wearable technology creates a powerful solution for customers looking to reduce risk, streamline operations, and accelerate their digital transformation initiatives.”
Through this partnership, JLT and MākuSafe will jointly pursue new business opportunities, engage in co-branded marketing initiatives, and co-exhibit at major industry trade shows to expand their market reach. This integration offers industrial organizations a clear path to accelerate their digital transformation efforts by seamlessly connecting workers, equipment, and data-driven safety insights within their operations.
“MākuSafe is committed to helping organizations create safer, more productive environments through data-driven solutions,” said Todd Sutphen, President of MākuSafe. “Our partnership with JLT Mobile Computers strengthens our ability to provide real-time visibility into risks around powered industrial vehicles and further integrates the connected worker into Industry 4.0 operations. Together, we can help clients enhance safety performance while improving operational efficiency.”
The two companies will continue to advance joint capabilities and explore deeper integrations to support industrial customers seeking scalable, technology-enabled safety solutions that meet the rugged demands of their operations.
