HEXA was named after its shape having 6 sides and is here to save lives! When things go wrong at sea, it can be difficult for those involved to refrain from panicking and think clearly, this is where HEXA comes in to play. All you have to do is drop it in water and it will automatically activate upon contact. There are 6 inflatable sections, which allows ample room for everyone to get to safety, not to mention a RFID signal gets triggered for easy tracking by rescue teams. In the middle, there is a pod that obtains safety supplies such as food, flares, and lifejackets.
