ZoneSafe Single Proximity Detection System - 1 Control Unit, 1 Antenna

ZoneSafe applications Vehicle to person alerts: helps protect pedestrians from forklift collisions. The system also identifies near-misses Walkway alerts: helps warn pedestrians in a protected walkway of approaching vehicles Crossing alerts: helps alert pedestrians at a crossing that a vehicle is present Asset protection: helps defend fixed assets (walls, machinery, storage racks) from forklift collisions Vehicle access control: helps control vehicle access to restricted areas. When correctly configured, you can designate that only ZoneSafe-equipped vehicles can pass an access point such as a closed aisle gate. ZoneSafe integrates with pedestrian protection equipment such as AisleCop® or other gates for precise access to guarded zones Personnel access control: Access for doors, turnstiles and other entrance points in a facility. This works similarly to vehicle access, as transponder tags can be configured to allow access (via a gate) to a designated area Aircraft damage protection: helps prevent forklift or other vehicles from colliding with grounded aircraft being serviced or loaded How the forklift proximity alert system works ZoneSafe utilizes advanced identification and detection technologies, audible alarms, flashing lights and management software to help increase awareness and visibility. The system utilizes RFID technology, which creates an invisible 360-degree protection & detection zone around equipped vehicles (or other assets). This can be referred to as the "collision zone". The system uses detection antennas, single/multiple zones, and variable detection ranges (3 to 9 meters). Many different configurations can be created. ZoneSafe components and how they work together The control unit is installed on each forklift/vehicle, along with proximity detection antennas. Each pedestrian in the protected operation wears a pedestrian transponder tag, which can be integrated into a jacket or vest, worn on a convenient lanyard, or simply carried in a pocket. When a pedestrian enters the protected area (you can define ranges) near a vehicle, the control unit emits both an audible and visible alert, alerting the driver that a pedestrian is nearby. Once the pedestrian leaves the monitored zone, the alarm ceases. Control hardware such as gates or wall-mounted alarms and lights can also detect and react to a vehicle's presence when equipped with ZoneSafe technology. How serious are the risks of forklift/pedestrian collisions? There are about 100 deaths every year in the United States due to forklifts, along with tens of thousands of injuries, many involving pedestrians being struck or crushed by a forklift.
