PEOPLE & PLANT INTERFACE
Help vehicle operators and pedestrian workers recognise vehicle proximity risks in busy industrial workplaces.
Our systems combine pedestrian detection, vehicle detection, and active warnings, configured around your site, your vehicles, and how people work. Choose RFID, proximity warning, AI camera technology, or a combined approach to address blind spots from vehicles, shared work areas, vehicle approaches, and site layout.
Tell us where people and vehicles interact. We’ll help you identify the solution and how it will reduce collision risk and improve worksite safety.

Safer Workplace, Safer Workforce
Where physical segregation isn’t always possible, ZoneSafe provides an additional layer of protection between vehicles and pedestrians.
Our technology improves situational awareness, helping workers recognise risks earlier and take preventative action.
Audible warnings, vibration alerts, flashing lights and sensor-activated signs notify drivers and pedestrians when they enter high-risk areas, enabling faster reactions and safer interactions.
From waste and recycling to warehousing and logistics, our systems help organisations reduce vehicle-pedestrian risk across a wide range of industries.

RECOGNISE THE OPERATING PROBLEM
Where do people and vehicles come together on your site?
Loading, unloading, maintenance and pedestrian access can bring people close to working vehicles. Our systems create awareness, adding an extra layer of warning alongside your existing workplace transport controls and procedures.
Restricted visibility
Racking, stored materials, waste piles, large loads and vehicle blind spots can make it difficult to see approaching people or vehicles.
Shared working areas
Goods-in, production and loading areas can require people to work close to forklifts or mobile plant machinery.
Visitors and contractors
Visiting drivers and changing workforces bring different access patterns and tag-management requirements to your site.
Crossings and entrances/exits
Blind corners, shed exits and warehouse doorways need an activated warning to approaching vehicles when they can't be seen.
PRODUCT APPROACHES
Choose detection around the way your site works.
Start with the interaction you need to address on your worksite. The right safety system depends on visibility, vehicle movement, pedestrian access, and the warnings people need.
Proximity Warning Pedestrian Detection
Use RFID tags and a configured detection zone to warn the vehicle operator and the tagged pedestrian. Proximity warning detection does not require a direct line of sight to the tag, making it relevant to obstructed-view applications.
AI Human Form Recognition cameras
Detect people within the camera’s field of view without requiring them to wear a tag. Vehicle-mounted cameras alert the operator when a person is detected in the configured zone around the vehicle. AI cameras require line of site to detect people.
Combined AI &
Proximity Warning
Proximity Warning
Combine camera detection of visible, untagged people with proximity warning detection of tagged pedestrians where the camera’s view is obstructed. Review the configuration against the conditions on your worksite to confirm site suitability.
Vehicle-to-vehicle warnings
Alert operators when another equipped vehicle enters the configured detection zone. Assess the approach around your vehicle movements, blind approaches and operating areas throughout your worksite.
Vehicle-activated signs and visual alerts
Trigger a visible warning when an equipped vehicle approaches a crossing, doorway or blind corner, helping people recognise vehicle movements at key points on the site, even if the vehicle cannot be seen.
Access control for pedestrians
Use pedestrian tags to enter dangerous vehicle manouvring areas which are otherwise locked to pedestrian workers. This ensures anyone that gains entry is tagged and detectable to vehicle operators.
Not sure which approach fits?
Tell us about the vehicles, pedestrian tasks and visibility issues. We can discuss the options and what we need to evaluate.
MIXED FLEET SOLUTIONS
Our systems work with any type of vehicle or plant machinery on your worksite.
The modular design lets you configure the system for different safety risks and deploy it on individual machines or across an entire fleet.
Forklifts
- Eliminate blind spots.
- Move safely through busy indoor environments.
Shovel Loaders
- Overcome visibility limits.
- Reduce collision risk with large attachments.
Excavators
- Detect unseen workers.
- Ensure safety near the body and boom arm.
Reach Stackers
- Oversized load awareness.
- Safely manage large container blind spots.
PROXIMITY WARNING BY INDUSTRY SECTOR
Built around real industrial working environments.
From forklift movements in goods-in to loading shovels in recycling sheds, the starting point is the same: understand where people and vehicles interact, then tailor the warning approach to that task.
Warehouse & Logistics
Forklifts operate down narrow aisles, in and out of loading bays, around goods in and across the warehouse to the yard, all in close proximity to pedestrian workers hidden behind racking, blind corners and product stacks.
Paper & Packaging
Forklifts carry large paper reels with limited visibility, operating around large stacks of paper product where pedestrian workers can easily be hidden. Unknown pedestrian movement further increase collision risk.
Manufacturing Sites
Forklifts manouvre between line-side replenishment, production and storage areas with crossing and pedestrian interaction points aplenty. Pedestrian workers are hidden behind racking and product stacks.
Waste & Recycling Including MRF’s
Load shovels, material handlers, forklift trucks and a range of heavy plant operate in dirty environments in tipping areas, recycling sheds and processing operations with ground workers in close proximity.
Timber & Forestry
Multi-fleet operations with heavy mobile plant carry and stockpile logs, beams and timber product. Ground workers operate between moving piles of product and inbetween vehicles with limited visibility.
Aggregates
Loaders and heavy plant machinery operate in dusty environments carrying loads which limit driver visibility. Workers remain hidden behind stockpiles in loading and processing areas increasing collision risk.
Ports & Terminals
Reachstackers and cargo moving vehicles operate carrying abnormal loads manouvring in and out of sheds. Visiting hauliers, ship crews and ground crew move unnoticed where the risk of collision is high.
Agriculture
Tractors, forklifts, side loaders and a range of plant or agricultural machinery operate around the farm and in close proximity to groundworkers and picking staff at shed entrances and warehouse exits.
