ZoneSafe Proximity Warning Systems
Eliminate collision risk with 360° RFID detection technology for pedestrians and vehicles. Real-time proximity alerts for vehicle operators and pedestrian workers. Creating a safe worksite for a safe workforce.
ZONESAFE PROXIMITY WARNING SYSTEMS
What kind of system do you need?
ZoneSafe helps industrial sites manage collision risks between people and moving vehicles by combining detection technologies suited to their operating environment.
Understand your operation. Start with vehicle movements, pedestrian tasks, visibility and existing controls.
What should your proximity warning system detect, and who needs to be made aware?
Help operators and pedestrians recognise vehicle proximity risks in busy industrial workplaces with a warning system configured around the site, its vehicles, and how your team works.
PROXIMITY WARNING SOLUTION RANGE
ZoneSafe proximity warning systems at a glance.
RFID proximity warning provides awareness of tagged pedestrians, UWB proximity warning supports vehicle-to-vehicle warnings, and AI cameras provide visual detection of people who are not wearing tags. These capabilities can be combined with activated signage and centralised warning management to address different risks across a site.

Vehicle-to-Pedestrian Collision Risk Areas
warehouses, recycling sheds, processing areas, and busy yards often have many blind spots due to vehicle shape, size, load, and infrastructure such as blind corners, doorways, entry's and exits. Being unable to segregate moving vehicles and pedestrian workers means a high risk of collision.
Vehicle-to-Vehicle Movement Collision Risk
Heavy plant vehicles manouvring through busy yards have many blind spots due to the shape and size of the vehicle and the load it carries. Collisions mean expensive repairs, vehicle downtime, potential operator injury and loss of productivity.
Site Visitor Danger
A dangerous mix of professional site traffic, third-party contractors, and even members of the public. Public drivers are often distracted, unfamiliar with site rules, and prone to stepping out of their vehicles directly into the path of moving site machinery.
ZoneSafe Proximity Warning Systems
Safety solutions detect, warn and alert your workforce improving awareness across site and reducing the risk of collisions. Multiple layers of safety can be created with ZoneSafe
V2P Alert
HFR Camera system
Detect everyone onsite when you cannot use a tag based proximity warning solution. Human form recognition cameras use clever AI technology to detect pedestrian workers operating in close proximity to moving vehicles. Note – cameras cannot detect pedestrians behind material stacks. They can only detect what they can see.
Vehicle Activated Signs
Vehicle-activated warning signs detect vehicles when they can’t be seen and start flashing, alerting everyone in the area that a vehicle is approaching. Installed at infrastructure entry and exit points, such as doorways, to warn everyone and significantly reduce the risk of collisions.
Access Control
Segregates workers from moving vehicles using barriers, gates and doors. Access is available only with a ZoneSafe tag. Workers can only enter dangerous plant manoeuvring areas, such as a shed tipping floor, if they are “tagged” and “detectable to plant operators because they are wearing a tag.

V2V Alert
Proximity warning systems fitted to all heavy mobile plant machinery create a dual detection zone around the vehicle, with early-warning and close-proximity-warning alerts for vehicle operators. Fitted to any vehicle type, the system reduces the risk of vehicle collisions.

HFR Camera System
Detect everyone on site who doesn’t wear a tag, such as delivery drivers, members of the public and site visitors. Cameras only detect what they can see, so they can’t detect someone behind a waste pile so combining this solution with a proximity warning system creates the ultimate pedestrian detection system.
Vehicle Activated Signs
Vehicle-activated warning signs detect vehicles when they can’t be seen and flash to alert site visitors that a vehicle is approaching. Installed at infrastructure entry and exit points, such as doorways, to warn everyone and significantly reduce the risk of collisions.
Access Control
Segregates site visitors from moving vehicles using barriers, gates and doors. Access is available only with a ZoneSafe tag from the site office. Visitors can only enter dangerous plant manoeuvring areas if they are “tagged” and “detectable to plant operators because they are wearing a tag.
Mitigate the risk of worksite accidents
In environments where people and machinery work together, collision risks are a constant concern.
ZoneSafe improves situational awareness by delivering real-time alerts when people or vehicles enter defined proximity zones. This allows operators and workers to respond earlier and reduce the likelihood of accidents.

Vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P)
proximity warning systems
proximity warning systems
Designed to reduce vehicle-pedestrian collision risks in shared industrial spaces, forklift pedestrian proximity detection provides a two-way warning system that delivers simultaneous alerts to both vehicle operators and pedestrian workers.
-
Empower both vehicle operators and pedestrian workers to know when they are too close to each other.
-
Provide complete 360-degree pedestrian detection around vehicles, even through walls, racking, and blind corners.
-
Ensure detection with a predefined range of up to 10 metres away from the vehicle.
-
Give drivers critical situational awareness to reliably detect pedestrians and avoid risk.
Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I)
proximity warning systems
proximity warning systems
These dynamic infrastructure systems provide highly visible alerts and automated safety triggers that protect every person on site.
-
Protect everyone with active visual warnings that don’t require personnel to wear tags.
-
Easily communicate safety with highly visible alerts, including lights and floor projections, for visitors and diverse personnel.
-
Reduce collision risk by ensuring active visual cues warn everyone nearby of approaching vehicles.
-
Get ample warning with sensors that detect each other up to 50m away from approaching vehicles.
Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V)
