It’s been an exciting week at Grace Technologies. Yesterday, we wrapped up our exclusive webinar showcasing the groundbreaking products we unveiled last month at Automation Fair in Anaheim. Today, we’re eager to share these innovations in a blog format so you can catch up on everything that happened—even if you couldn’t make the show or webinar.
From GracePort® ThruView 360 to the ChekVolt™ 3kV Test Point and beyond, these solutions tackle the core challenges you face on the plant floor—maximizing safety, reducing downtime, boosting operational efficiency, and making the safer choice also the easier choice. Below is an in-depth review of each product plus direct insights from our webinar panelists.
Before diving into each solution, let’s talk big picture. Industrial facilities are under constant pressure to:
But there’s a real cost: according to OSHA, Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) and hazardous energy control violations are consistently among the top five most-cited issues. This reality underlines the urgent need for safe, engineered solutions that also increase efficiency. That’s exactly why we continue to innovate.
Our GracePort panel interface connectors have long been a staple in the industry for safe, closed-door access to PLCs, VFDs, and other control components. The newest member of the family, the ThruView 360, takes that concept to the next level.

Permanent Electrical Safety Devices (PESDs) have always been core to the Grace lineup. They’re externally mounted hardware that allows absence of voltage testing with your standard multimeter—without opening a panel. Now, we’re raising the bar even higher with the ChekVolt™ 3kV Test Point designed to handle up to 3000 VDC.

Even though PESDs are installed on many panels, not every piece of equipment can house a permanent safety device. Enter Proxxi by Grace—our brand-new wearable safety solution. Think of it like a second set of eyes (or ears!) for voltage detection across various tasks and environments.
