Proximity Warning Systems for Agriculture
Keep your people and vehicles safe on the farm with our proactive collision prevention technology.
Why is a proximity warning system for agriculture essential for your farm?
The agriculture, forestry, and fishing sector continues to have the highest rate of fatal injuries of any industry in Great Britain. This high-risk reality is driven by the constant movement of heavy equipment and vehicles, which creates substantial blind spots and a shared workspace with pedestrians.
Proximity warning systems for agriculture are essential because they proactively address this risk by providing audible and visual warnings, which eliminate blind spots and increase situational awareness.

How does a proximity warning system for agriculture work?
ZoneSafe’s proximity warning systems for agriculture are engineered to provide a robust solution where line of sight is a challenge. By leveraging RFID technology, the system creates an invisible, 360-degree detection zone around vehicles, eliminating dangerous blind spots.
Vehicle & pedestrian alerts: The system uses antennas on vehicles and tags worn by workers. When a tag enters the detection zone, both the vehicle driver and the pedestrian receive immediate alerts – the driver via an in-cab unit and the worker via a tag vibration.
Sees through obstacles: Unlike camera-based systems, our system works reliably through bales, piles of material, and buildings, ensuring constant protection even in obstructed areas.
Enhanced awareness: This two-way alert system ensures that both parties are aware of a potential hazard before it becomes a collision.
It’s possible to add further layers of safety to your farm with our range of solutions. These complement ZoneSafe proximity warning systems or can be used as standalone safety systems. Contact us for more information on proximity warning systems for agriculture.
Which vehicles can ZoneSafe be fitted to?
Our proximity warning systems can be easily integrated with a wide range of agricultural vehicles, ensuring consistent safety across your entire fleet.
Telehandlers & Forklifts
Mitigates the high risk posed to pedestrians by the vehicle's large size, attachments, and loads of hay or feed.
Shovel Loaders
Provides critical awareness in farmyards and silage clamps where a driver’s view is frequently obstructed by large buckets and other site obstacles.
Tractors & Harvesters
Designed to overcome the significant blind spots caused by a tractor's size and attachments, especially when towing trailers or operating at harvest time.
How do proximity warning systems for agriculture adapt to different farm layouts?
Proximity warning systems for agriculture are engineered for high adaptability, ensuring effective collision avoidance no matter your worksite’s unique layout or operational challenges. This makes your site safer, especially in areas where segregating pedestrians and vehicles is difficult, including:
-
Farmyards and sheds
-
Fields and paddocks
-
Silage clamps and storage areas
-
Grain silos and buildings
Vehicle to Person Alert
Vehicle to Person Alert provides two-way feedback warning both vehicle drivers and pedestrian workers of each other's presence via alerts from the in-cab control unit to notify the driver and tag vibration alerting the pedestrian.
Vehicle to Vehicle Alert
Vehicle to Vehicle Alert warns drivers of approaching vehicles, helping to significantly reduce the risk of collision by providing early vehicle detection warning and close proximity alerts, making your worksite a safer place to be.
Activated Signage
Implementing ZoneSafe's vehicle-activated signage provides a practical solution to enhance onsite safety. Signs only flash when the vehicle is present, warning both site users and visitors located in the area to any approaching vehicles.
Site Access Control
Restricting site access to only your employees or anyone given a ZoneSafe tag reduces the risk of accidents. Only ZoneSafe tags open gates or barriers to a restricted area meaning they'll be detected and warned should they get too close to a moving vehicle.
Safe Zone Masking Areas
In hand-sorting waste areas or where vehicles work side by side with pedestrian workers, over alarming can prove frustrating. Using a ZoneSafe Qu-box will mask the system enabling vehicles to operate without triggering an alarm.
Data Management
My.ZoneSafe, 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.
Proven Results: Hear From Our Customers
We’ve helped many companies improve their on-site safety by implementing our proximity warning systems for agriculture.
Keyo had identified a number of potential risks to personnel safety and sought a bespoke solution that could reduce risk to operators.
BSR required a system that could be unplugged, packed up, and immediately redeployed on the next site’s hired equipment.
“The ZoneSafe system now forms an integral part of our company procedures, PPE and safety training program. We would highly recommend ZoneSafe and have already identified further areas within our operation where we will undoubtedly incorporate ZoneSafe systems in the future.”
