Zonesafe uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology which creates detection zones around vehicles, assets, crossing points and walkways. This approach is crucial in addressing proximity hazards in various industrial environments.
Active tags (see below) are worn by personnel, can be fitted to assets (for example a storage unit) or set up around hazards (perhaps a man hole cover or pipeline). These tags are integral to the RFID proximity warning system that ensures the safety of workers and assets.
Tags are identified by the system when they enter the detection zone. This triggers an audible visual alert, warning vehicle operators of the tag’s close proximity to the vehicle, effectively serving as a personal proximity warning system for each individual on site.
Zonesafe tags do not require line of sight, and will be detected regardless of obstructions, blind spots or poor visibility. Making it a reliable solution for managing proximity work in challenging conditions.
In-Cab ControlÂ
A Zonesafe in-cab control unit is fitted within reach of the vehicle’s operator. An audible visual alarm alerts the operator every time a tagged person or object is detected entering the antenna’s detection zone, owered by the RFID proximity sensor technology.
Antennas
Zonesafe detection antenna(s) are fitted to a forklift (or any size or type of vehicle). This creates a 3-9 metre 360° continuous detection zone around the vehicle, which detects personnel or objects with a ZoneSafe tag, ensuring comprehensive coverage for proximity hazards.
Active tags
Zonesafe active RFID tags are worn by all personnel or fitted to assets (perhaps a stacking unit). The tag can be placed in a hi viz jacket, clipped to a lanyard, fitted to a hard hat, worn on a belt or simply placed in a pocket, making it an integral part of the RFID proximity warning system.
Data management
ZoneSafe’s technology also offers event data and near-miss reporting via onboard data logging and our Software as a Service (SaaS) platform, Insight. Read more here.
