ZoneSafe Asset Protection System

The primary purpose of an industrial asset protection system, like ZoneSafe’s, is to actively prevent collisions between vehicles and valuable static assets or hazards on a worksite. This directly safeguards machinery, infrastructure, and designated safe zones from costly damage, thereby enhancing operational safety and efficiency.

The ZoneSafe asset protection system operates by detecting other vehicles and specially tagged assets within a defined safety zone, immediately alerting operators to prevent collisions. ZoneSafe tags are strategically fitted into safety cones or directly onto valuable assets and hazards. When a vehicle equipped with the ZoneSafe unit gets too close to a tagged item, the system triggers clear audible and visual alarms inside the vehicle’s cab, prompting the operator to take immediate corrective action.

ZoneSafe asset protection systems are highly versatile and can be fitted to a wide range of industrial equipment and fixed hazards, providing comprehensive protection. This includes compatibility with various workplace vehicles, such as forklifts and other material handling equipment. Crucially, the system can also be applied to fixed hazards, critical infrastructure, and valuable static assets by fitting active tags into safety cones placed around them. Furthermore, ZoneSafe solutions can be integrated with other site safety measures like active signage, barriers, and traffic lights for an overarching safety network.

Asset protection systems are highly effective and suitable for any industrial or worksite environment that features vehicle traffic and requires safeguarding valuable assets against potential collisions. This includes a wide array of demanding settings such as:

• Warehouses and Logistics Hubs
• Manufacturing Plants
• Ports and Terminals
• Construction Sites
• Airports (airside operations)
• Waste and Recycling Facilities

ZoneSafe specifically offers modular solutions that can be tailored to address unique hazards or combined to accommodate the diverse and evolving safety needs of different worksites.

Yes, ZoneSafe’s active tags are designed to be detected reliably through physical barriers, including walls, racking, and around blind corners. The system’s advanced detection zone operates without requiring line of sight, allowing it to consistently detect safety cones (fitted with ZoneSafe tags) up to ten metres away. This capability is crucial for providing early warnings in complex industrial environments where visibility is often obstructed.

Analysing data from a ZoneSafe asset protection system provides invaluable insights into worksite safety performance and collision risks. The system automatically collects comprehensive data on proximity breaches and near-miss occurrences involving tagged assets. This information, accessible via the cloud, allows organisations to:Identify High-Risk Areas: Pinpoint specific locations or assets that are frequently involved in proximity breaches.

• Analyse Incident Trends: Uncover patterns related to asset interactions, such as times of day or types of vehicle manoeuvres leading to near-misses.
• Assess System Effectiveness: Evaluate how effectively the system is preventing damage and improving asset integrity.
• Inform Training and Safety Procedures: Use concrete data to develop targeted training programmes for operators and refine site-specific safety protocols around valuable assets.

This data-driven approach enables proactive risk management and continuous improvement of asset protection strategies.

ZoneSafe asset protection systems are engineered for exceptional ease of deployment and minimal maintenance, ensuring quick integration and reliable, long-term performance. The installation process is designed to be straightforward with minimal disruption to existing operations, allowing for rapid setup. Furthermore, ZoneSafe solutions are built to withstand tough industrial conditions and environments, making them virtually maintenance-free once deployed. This ensures consistent asset protection without significant ongoing operational overhead.
