Brief Description:

The HIT-NOT® Proximity Alert System utilises magnetic fields for proximity detection. There are four main components: a magnetic field generator, a warning module, a personal alarm device and a collision avoidance module. The personal alarm device is carried by a worker and alerts them when mobile equipment comes into proximity. The collision avoidance module is designed to provide alerts when multiple mobile equipment come into proximity.

Key Features and Other Technical Information:
  • The intended working environments for this system are warehouses and industrial workspace. 
  • The size of the magnetic field (sensing range) created by the generator can be adjusted.
  • There are a range of products available to create customised solutions with additional features such as area control and event monitoring.
