Approach the Vehicle
As you approach, ProxiLock monitors the Wi-Fi signal strength from your connected device. When the signal reaches the configured unlock threshold, ProxiOS recognises that you are within range.
ProxiLock is an intelligent Canopy & Toolbox locking controller with ProxiSense diagnostics, local onboard intelligence, ProxiBot guidance, secure ProxiCloud connectivity and real-time ProxiOS control.
As you approach, ProxiLock monitors the Wi-Fi signal strength from your connected device. When the signal reaches the configured unlock threshold, ProxiOS recognises that you are within range.
ProxiLock automatically unlocks the canopy or toolbox, giving you convenient access without needing to reach for your keys.
As you move away, ProxiLock continues monitoring signal strength. Once your device moves beyond the configured locking range, the system automatically secures the canopy or toolbox.
If you try to lock your canopy or toolbox while a monitored door is still open, ProxiLock blocks the lock command and sounds an audible buzzer warning so you know something needs attention. When you start the vehicle with your foot on the brake, ProxiLock checks the door state again — if a door may have been left open, it alerts you; if all monitored doors are closed, the locks engage automatically. ProxiLock can reduce the risk of bent, damaged or broken doors and expensive replacement costs — potentially saving you thousands.
This provides a seamless hands-free locking experience while helping reduce the chance of accidentally leaving your storage compartments unlocked.

From the initial concept in June 2022 to the integrated ProxiLock, ProxiOS, ProxiSense and ProxiCloud platform operating today.
The project begins with the concept of an intelligent electronic vehicle locking system combining automatic access, security and practical vehicle integration.
Controller, wireless communications, vehicle power, lock-actuator interfaces, sensing, I/O and failsafe requirements are evaluated and the initial system architecture is defined.
Early firmware establishes input/output control, lock and unlock state management, timing functions, sensor monitoring and basic fault handling.
Controller electronics, sensors and actuator interfaces are assembled on development hardware and repeatedly tested for switching behaviour, timing, power and electrical reliability.
Automatic locking, proximity logic, configurable behaviour, status monitoring, actuator protection, filtering, persistent configuration and diagnostics are integrated into the prototype.
The controller, sensors, locking hardware and firmware operate together as a complete system, validating the core ProxiLock concept and allowing development to move toward real vehicle use.
The prototype moves from the bench into a real vehicle environment. Automotive wiring, power behaviour, practical installation and real-world proximity operation are assessed.
Extended vehicle operation drives firmware refinement, sensor threshold tuning, reliability improvements and stronger recovery from abnormal operating conditions.
Diagnostic events, operating statistics, device-health information and service data are expanded, preparing ProxiLock for connected monitoring and remote management.
Device identity, authentication, status reporting and remote-command architecture are developed so physical ProxiLock hardware can be securely controlled and monitored by external services.
Monitoring expands into ProxiSense with lock activity, proximity history, device health, diagnostic events, operating statistics and predictive-maintenance intelligence.
A central service architecture is established for device-to-cloud communication, remote management, customer access, firmware distribution and administrative control.
The ProxiLock product website and web-control platform are developed to support product information, customer access, device management, administration, support and future sales functions.
The website backend connects to physical devices through unique Device IDs, authentication, customer accounts, device state and remote-control workflows.
Registration, approval, owner management, online status, last-seen reporting, remote commands, diagnostics, firmware checks, authenticated OTA delivery and ProxiOS update management become part of the operating platform.
ProxiLock now combines ProxiOS embedded control, advanced ProxiSense monitoring, ProxiCloud device services, customer and admin portals, Business Fleet management, ProxiChat and Founders Production Run preparation.
Embedded operating system for vehicle control, lock management, diagnostics, events, usage statistics and firmware management.
Local onboard intelligence for health scoring, learning, anomaly detection, trends and predictive maintenance.
Interactive assistant with animated status feedback, audio notifications, contextual behaviour and maintenance guidance.
Connected diagnostics, firmware lifecycle services, device management, business fleets, Fleet Manager access and diagnostic history.
ProxiSense continuously learns and analyses lock behaviour to identify issues early, improve maintenance decisions and support long-term system reliability.
ProxiBot runs the ProxiOS-style behaviour engine across the website: contextual guidance, smart actions, frequent idle animations, roaming, disappearing and returning, tools, sounds, connection-search sequences, celebrations, activity learning and automatic screen cleaning.
ProxiCloud combines diagnostics, device history, business fleet management, Fleet Manager access, fleet Wi-Fi management, firmware status, uploads, logs, server health, backups and API information in one central interface.

Your reservation deposit is paid by bank transfer and credited toward the final purchase price. A reservation counts toward the current production allocation only after the transfer is confirmed.
This is an optional bank-transfer contribution to support the ProxiLock production run. It does not reserve a product unit and is separate from a Founders reservation deposit.
