Taza Aya and Hatch PD working to deliver MVP by summer 2025

Work to transition Taza Aya’s current beta prototype, through the gamma prototype phase and into an MVP of the Worker Wearable Protection (WWP) product is progressing well and is on schedule for a Summer 2025 completion.   This marks yet another significant step toward redefining workplace safety, leveraging innovation as well as the know-how of an experienced product development team.  Hatch PD of Waukegan, IL is leading the product development activities.. 

“Our vision at Taza Aya is to revolutionize how industries approach worker safety and productivity,” said Herek Clack, Co-Founder at Taza Aya. “Partnering with Hatch Product Development aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver innovative, high-quality solutions that create tangible value. Their product design and development expertise is instrumental in bringing our vision to life.” 

“Hatch’s partnership with Taza Aya is built on a shared vision of bringing innovative solutions to life,” said Addison Merchut, Co-President at Hatch Product Development. “In order to support Taza Aya as they focus on delivering a groundbreaking product concept to those who will benefit most, Hatch is dedicated to optimizing the WWP for production and scaling manufacturing efficiently to meet market demands. Together, we’re making the WWP an impactful reality.”

 The WWP is designed to boost worker safety and improve real-time communication, enhancing workers’ productivity in the meat, poultry, and food processing industries. By leveraging advanced wearable technology, the WWP addresses critical challenges faced by today’s workforce while fostering a safer and more productive working environment.

 The current beta prototype, on which the forthcoming MVP is based, incorporates key features and improvements such as Taza Aya’s patented non-thermal plasma reactor design, more robust electronics, customizeable operating point settings, 7-8 hour battery life, and a form factor that is 1/3 lighter and 40% smaller than the original alpha prototype released in Spring 2024.
