Proximity Warning Systems for
Warehouse & Logistics
ZoneSafe protects warehouse & logistics workers at the people-plant interface.
WAREHOUSE & LOGISTICS
Proximity warning systems for warehouse & logistics operations.
Help operators and pedestrians recognise vehicle proximity risks across goods-in, storage, picking and dispatch.
ZoneSafe provides pedestrian detection, vehicle warnings, and activated signage configured around your site, your vehicles, and how people work. Explore AI cameras, RFID proximity warning and detection or a combined approach for forklift movements, restricted views, aisle crossings and loading areas.
For warehouse operators, distribution and fulfilment centres, third-party logistics providers, and pallet transport depots that manage people and moving vehicles.
From Avonwood Developments, a UK manufacturer / UK applications at Virginia Hayward, Massey Wilcox & Peterson
“Since the implementation of ZoneSafe, the occurrences of near misses or accidents have been reduced to zero.”

WAREHOUSE & LOGISTICS OPERATING SITUATIONS
Where do people and warehouse vehicles interact?
From receiving stock to dispatching orders, review where pedestrian tasks meet forklift movements. Include busy shifts, changing stock levels and visiting drivers.
Goods-in and load checking
Unloading, checking and decanting stock can bring staff close to forklifts. Review the sequence of work, pedestrian access and the points at which people approach a load.
Aisle ends and racking
Racking, pallet stacks and carried loads can restrict views at aisle ends. Assess the actual routes and sightlines with representative stock levels and vehicle movements.
Picking and replenishment
Pickers and replenishment trucks may use adjacent areas at different times. Review pedestrian crossings, replenishment windows and the response expected when an alert occurs.
Loading bays and yard interfaces
Dispatch staff and visiting drivers may enter vehicle routes around dock doors and loading areas. Include driver waiting arrangements, indoor-outdoor transitions and access instructions.
DETECTION AND WARNING OPTIONS
Choose detection around your warehouse & logistics operation.
Vehicle-to-Person Alert
RFID tags support detection without direct line of sight to the tag. The configured proximity warning system warns the operator and tagged pedestrian. Assess racking and pallet obstructions, and plan tag issue, checks and charging for every shift.
Vehicle-to-Vehicle Alert
Warn operators when another equipped vehicle enters the configured detection zone. Consider aisle junctions, warehouse exits and yard approaches. Confirm which vehicles need equipment; do not assume visiting vehicles are detected.
Vehicle-Activated Signage
Trigger a warning when an equipped vehicle approaches a doorway, blind corner or crossing. Position the warning for the people using that route and agree the response it should prompt. Flashing signs, floor projections and more are available.
Site Access Control (Door, gate, barrier)
Tag-controlled access can support entry into designated areas such as a warehouse where forklifts operate. Only ZoneSafe tags gain access to restricted areas meaning pedestrians will be detected and warned if they get too close to moving vehicles.
HFR Camera Systems (Human Form Recognition)
Combine camera detection of visible, untagged people with radio detection of tagged pedestrians where the camera view is obstructed. Review how the selected configuration presents warnings to the operator.
MyZoneSafe Data Management
MyZoneSafe, is our cloud-based insight and data management platform, which records and displays event data (such as near miss occurrences) to inform Health and Safety managers of potential hazards and collision hotspots.

FOR THE PEOPLE MAKING THE DECISION
Get the answers your team needs.
EHS / SHEQ
Identify the residual vehicle-person interactions and the warning response required. Agree representative evaluation criteria alongside existing controls.
Warehouse / operations
Review goods-in, picking, replenishment and dispatch tasks. Plan installation and training around shift patterns and peak trading periods.
Fleet / transport
Check counterbalance and reach truck models, attachments, hired equipment and visiting-driver arrangements. Define which vehicles and people need coverage.
Engineering / maintenance
Confirm mounting, power, environmental suitability, commissioning, checks and responsibility when equipment is transferred or replaced.
Procurement / finance
Compare a defined scope: equipment, tags, installation, training, support and any ongoing costs. Identify who buys for owned and hired fleets.
Site / regional leadership
Decide which site or interaction to address first and what evidence would justify extending the approach across a depot network.
FROM OPERATING PROBLEM TO AGREED SCOPE
Plan around your shifts and peak periods.
Review representative working conditions and the practical requirements for installation and ownership.
1. Describe the
interaction
interaction
Share the task, routes, vehicle types, pedestrian access and existing controls. Include representative loads and busy periods.
2. Review a representative configuration
Consider coverage, alert recipients, warning response, visitors and tag routines. Agree the scenarios and criteria to review during any evaluation.
3. Plan installation & ownership
Discuss vehicle availability, shift windows, commissioning, staff induction and routine checks. Confirm scope and ownership before extending to more trucks or sites.
BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY DECISIONS
Practical questions regarding proximity warning systems for warehouse & logistics sites.
Do agency staff and visiting drivers need tags?
Can it detect people behind racking or pallet stacks?
Can it be fitted to reach trucks, counterbalance trucks or hired fleets?
How do we avoid excessive alerts in narrow aisles?
Can we schedule the installation around peak trading hours?
Will it automatically stop a forklift truck?
What determines the quotation?
Can we evaluate one area before a wider rollout?
Does it replace existing controls?
