Brief Description:

The system activates integrated visual and auditory alerts, triggered when pedestrians venture beyond predefined safety thresholds or into vehicle detection zones. These alerts effectively warn pedestrians and forklift operators, significantly reducing the likelihood of accidents and injuries.

Key Features and Other Technical Information:

The detection zone is an invisible bubble around the vehicle created by the ZoneSafe antenna.
Each ZoneSafe tag worn by pedestrian workers is automatically detected within the zone and can be adjusted to detect tags up to 10 metres away.
