Metalesa Road Safety has been awarded the 21st ACEX National Conservation Safety Award for its innovative project, “PlugSmart® Pro: Smart Equipment for Preventing and Reporting Road Accidents.”
This important recognition, awarded by the Association of Infrastructure Conservation and Operation Companies (ACEX), recognizes initiatives that stand out for their contribution to improving safety in infrastructure maintenance and upkeep operations.
The PlugSmart® Pro project represents a significant advance in the field of road safety, as it combines smart technology with active signaling solutions to detect impacts, alert emergency services, and reduce response times to accidents. This technology, developed by Metalesa’s R&D team, allows for rapid response in risky situations, minimizing the consequences for road users and maintenance personnel.
The ACEX National Award jury particularly valued the PlugSmart® Pro system’s ability to integrate into current maintenance operations, its potential to reduce accidents, and its positive impact on the efficiency of interventions. It also highlighted its large-scale applicability in the context of road infrastructure modernization.
This recognition represents a significant boost for our innovation strategy aimed at improving safety and sustainability.
At Metalesa, we understand that the future of infrastructure maintenance lies in the incorporation of smart, connected, and efficient solutions, and this award encourages us to continue moving forward in that direction.
We thank ACEX for the distinction and congratulate the entire Metalesa team that made this milestone possible. This achievement reflects the collaborative work, long-term vision, and firm commitment to road safety that characterizes us.
