Mobile Equipment Proximity Detection Sensor

Download Selecting the right Mobile Equipment Proximity Detection system for your business

APPLICATIONS

Construction, Scrap Metal, Mining:

To protect workers in high-risk zones with large machinery.

Warehouse and Industrial Settings:

Where forklifts and other vehicles operate in close proximity to people.

Mobile Equipment Proximity Detection

Mobile Equipment Proximity Detection is a safety technology designed to identify and alert operators of vehicles and machinery when individuals or other obstacles are nearby. This system is widely implemented in environments like construction sites, warehouses, and mining operations, where mobile equipment operates alongside foot traffic. Its primary goal is to reduce the risk of accidents by enhancing operator awareness of nearby pedestrians and hazards.

The SEEN Safety System has a minimum 60º x 45º field of view, and can be attached anywhere on the machine, with a maximum detection range of 26 feet.

Key Features and Functionality:

Detection Technology

Utilizes infrared (IR) sensors that detect reflective vest and uniforms worn by personnel, ensuring precise human detection.
Unlike radar or LiDAR, SEEN’s IR-based system is specifically designed to minimize false alarms by distinguishing workers from inanimate objects.
Compact and easy-to-install sensors seamlessly integrate with a variety of mobile equipment, including forklifts, loaders, and other industrial vehicles.

Alert Mechanisms

Provides instant visual warnings through indicator lights mounted in the operator’s cab.
Employs alarms or beeps, to notify operators when a worker wearing reflective material is detected within proximity.
Unlike traditional systems, SEEN Safety focuses on human presence detection rather than generic object avoidance, enhancing situational awareness for operators.

Proactive Intervention

While SEEN Safety does not automatically stop equipment (*possible using output signal with third party integration controls), it serves as a highly reliable early warning system, giving operators the necessary time to react and prevent accidents.
Can be integrated into existing safety protocols, allowing organizations to tailor intervention responses based on SEEN Insight reports.

High Visibility Workwear Integration

Unlike systems requiring wearable tags or electronic beacons, SEEN Safety detects the retroreflective material on ANSI 2 and 3 high-visibility vests and workwear, ensuring a cost-effective and scalable solution.
Works in various lighting conditions, including low-visibility environments where worker detection is critical.

By leveraging infrared-based detection and high-visibility clothing recognition, the SEEN Safety System enhances workplace safety without requiring additional wearable technology, making it simple, effective, and easy to implement.

Mobile Equipment Proximity Detection Key Benefits

Improved Safety for Equipment Operators and Surroundings

Significantly reduces the risk of pedestrian-related accidents in industrial settings such as warehouses, manufacturing plants, and heavy industrial applications.
Real-time alerts enhance operator awareness, allowing quick reaction times to prevent potential collisions.
Helps protect personnel and assets by focusing on human detection, stripped equipment and infrastructure, eliminating unnecessary distractions from false alerts caused by objects or materials.

Reduction in Injuries, Operational Downtime, and Lower OSHA incident rate

Fewer workplace injuries mean lower medical costs, fewer worker compensation claims, and enhanced productivity.
Minimizes downtime associated with accident investigations, equipment repairs, and legal matters.
Enhances the company’s safety record, leading to improved worker morale, retention, and lower insurance premiums. (Link to Lower OSHA Incident Rate page under “Benefits”)

Optimized Equipment Operation and Workflow Efficiency

Reduces cognitive overload by allowing operators to focus on tasks instead of constantly scanning for pedestrians.
Streamlines material handling by ensuring safer and more predictable movement of workers and machinery.
Enhances navigation in tight spaces or high-traffic zones, reducing operational risks and improving workflow.
Workers actively learn to keep away from the dangers of mobile equipment

With infrared-based pedestrian detection, organizations can prioritize worker safety while improving operational efficiency, making it an ideal solution for industries where mobile equipment and personnel interact frequently.
