Detection technologies that add safety smarts to existing equipment, enabling it to see potential dangers and react autonomously to protect your people.
Proximity detection works to prevent accidents and collisions that involve mobile machinery, including cranes, carriers, forklifts and vehicles.
Industrial-grade proximity detection and collision avoidance systems are smart safety technologies specifically designed to address and mitigate these risks and create a safer working environment.
The technology can be installed onto any type of mobile equipment operating in the container terminal - Rubber Tired Gantry Cranes (RTG’s), straddle carriers, forklifts, utility vehicles and trucks. It generates electromagnetic fields around the equipment creating an invisible warning zone to keep people and other equipment at safe distances.
Workers wear an armband receiver known as a personal alarm device (PAD), and if they breach these fields, or step into the equipment’s travel path, the PAD will emit warning alarms and the system will slow or stop the equipment automatically.
