SKYX Platforms Corp. provides a series of highly disruptive advanced-safe-smart platform technologies, with over 96 U.S. and global patents and patent pending applications.
The company's technologies place an emphasis on high quality and ease of use, while significantly enhancing both safety and lifestyle in homes and buildings. The company's products are a necessity in every room in both homes and other buildings in the U.S. and globally. In 2023, the company expanded its operations by acquiring an online retailer and e-commerce provider specializing in home lighting, ceiling fans, and other home furnishings.
The company's first- and second-generation technologies enable light fixtures, ceiling fans and other electrically wired products to be installed safely and plugged in to a ceiling's electrical outlet box within seconds, and without the need to touch hazardous wires.
The company's third-generation technology is an all-in-one safe and smart advanced platform (the Smart Sky Platform) that is designed to enhance all-around safety and lifestyle of homes and other buildings.
The company's Advanced All-In-One Smart Sky Platform significantly enhances smart home products' performance, including the speed and range of both WIFI and Bluetooth, as well as the performance of sensors and alarms. Widespread adoption of the All-In-One Smart Sky Platform should contribute to the elimination of most related hazardous incidents in homes and buildings including ladder falls, electric shock/electrocutions, fires, carbon monoxide poisonings, injuries, and deaths. Therefore, the company's product is a necessity in rooms, homes, and buildings.
The company's Advanced All-In-One Safe Smart Sky Platform can be used in existing homes and buildings, by builders, rental properties, hotels, cruise ships, elder living facilities, schools, hospitals, offices, commercial, retail and other.
The company launched its new universal power plug, its SkyHome App, and its smart universal plug, as well as the smart ceiling fans and lighting fixtures containing such plug, in 2023 and expect to launch its Smart Sky Platform during 2024.
Products
The company's products are designed to improve all around home and building safety and lifestyle. The company is continuing to refine its products and began manufacturing certain advanced and smart products during 2023 and expects to manufacture and make commercially available its Smart Sky Platform during 2024.
First Product Gen-1: The Weight Bearing Power-Plug
The company's first patented technology was the Gen-1 Power-Plug, a weight bearing power plug that acts as a safe and quick installation device, designed for 'plug and play' installation of weight bearing electronics, such as light fixtures, ceiling fans and other electrical products, into ceiling electrical outlet boxes.
The company's patented technology consists of a fixable socket and a revolving plug (the Power-Plug) for conducting electric power and supporting an electrical appliance attached to a wall or ceiling. The socket consists of a non-conductive body that houses conductive rings connectable to an electric power supply through terminals in its side exterior. The Power-Plug, which consists of a non-conductive body that houses corresponding conductive rings, attaches to the socket via a male post and can feed electric power to an appliance. The Power-Plug also includes a second structural element allowing it to revolve with a releasable latch that, when engaged, provides a retention force between the socket and the Power-Plug to prevent disengagement. The socket and Power-Plug can be detached by releasing the latch, disengaging the electric power from the Power-Plug. The socket is designed to replace the support bar incorporated in electric junction boxes, and the Power-Plug can be installed in light fixtures, ceiling fans, wall sconce fixtures and other electrical devices and products. Once installed, the socket can remain affixed to the junction box, enabling any electronic fixture installed with the Power-Plug to be connected and/or removed in seconds.
Advanced Gen-1 Products
Sky Universal Power-Plug and Receptacle: The company's universal 'plug and play' Sky Plug & Receptacle technology consists of two devices.
