A proximity warning system (PWS) is a safety solution that detects when a pedestrian worker enters a hazardous zone around moving equipment and triggers real-time alerts.
Unlike simple reversing cameras or audible alarms, a true proximity warning system delivers 360-degree detection, simultaneous alerts to both the vehicle operator and the worker at risk, and configurable warning zones that adapt to each machine and environment. SensorZone systems use a combination of RFID-based personnel tags and AI-powered camera detection to cover every blind spot and every scenario.
Trusted on more than 1,500 active sites across 17 countries, and proven over 140 million safe working hours, SensorZone is the proximity warning partner of choice for waste and recycling operators, construction firms, warehouses, ports, and mining organizations worldwide.

"The SensorZone proximity warning system has emerged as a game-changer in our quest for enhanced safety measures."
— Regional Safety Director, Webber
Our three-stage proximity warning process creates intelligent safety zones that detect, alert, and learn - protecting your workforce around the clock.
Each worker wears a lightweight, maintenance-free RFID tag.
Antennas mounted on heavy machinery detect these tags in a full 360-degree field.
Detection zones are fully configurable, from a small 1-metre radius for indoor forklifts to wider 10-metre zones for larger machines.
The moment a tag is detected within a warning zone, a triple-alert system activates simultaneously.
The vehicle operator receives a visual alert and audible alarm, the at-risk worker feels a vibration from their personal tag, and a high-visibility alarm beacon alerts everyone in the surrounding area.
Every event is recorded and transmitted to the SensorZone Insights Platform - a cloud-based dashboard that provides real-time heat maps, trend analysis and safety reports.
Our AI-powered platform sorts through your site safety data and alerts you to dangerous patterns before they lead to an accident.
From RFID tag detection to AI-powered camera systems, our modular product range scales to fit any site, any vehicle, and any number of workers.
Tag-Based Proximity Warning
The foundation of the SensorZone range. RFID personnel tags and vehicle-mounted antennas deliver reliable 360-degree detection. Tags last 3+ years without recharging, and the system installs in under one hour per vehicle.
Best for: Sites where all personnel can be tagged
View Proximity Warning Core →
Tag + Camera Hybrid System
Combines tag-based detection with AI-powered camera monitoring. This dual-layer approach detects both tagged workers and untagged visitors, and is the gold standard for proximity warning safety.
Best for: Mixed environments with visitors and contractors
View Proximity Warning Plus →
AI Camera Detection
A standalone AI camera system that uses machine-learning algorithms to detect people and vehicles without requiring any wearable tags. Features color-coded distance alerts, live streaming, and video clips on demand.
Best for: Environments with lots of visiting workers, where it isn't feasible to issue everyone with a tag

Below are some of our most commonly asked questions about proximity warning systems and how SensorZone can protect your workforce.
A proximity warning system is an electronic safety device that detects when a pedestrian or worker enters a predefined danger zone around heavy machinery, and alerts both the equipment operator and the person at risk in real time. SensorZone systems use technologies such as RFID tags or AI cameras to provide continuous 360-degree detection.
The cost depends on the number of vehicles, the detection technology selected, and the size of the workforce being protected. SensorZone offers flexible pricing - please contact our team for a personalized quote based on your site requirements.
While regulations vary by jurisdiction, safety standards such as OSHA guidelines in the United States and HSE in the UK strongly recommend the use of proximity detection and warning systems wherever pedestrians and vehicles share space. Many organizations are adopting them proactively to help reduce liability and lower incident risk.
Yes! SensorZone proximity warning systems are designed as universal retrofit solutions. They install in under one hour on excavators, dump trucks, forklifts, refuse collection vehicles, wheel loaders, telehandlers, and virtually any other mobile plant or heavy vehicle.
Most vehicles can be fully fitted with a SensorZone proximity warning system in under one hour. Our plug-and-play design requires no specialist tools or welding, and installation can be carried out by your own maintenance team or one of our certified engineers. Fleet-wide rollouts are typically completed in phases to minimise operational disruption.

Yes. SensorZone systems are designed to operate reliably in both indoor and outdoor environments. Proximity Warning Core uses RFID technology that performs consistently in warehouses, tunnels, and confined spaces where GPS signals are unavailable.
Very little. Personnel tags are sealed, waterproof units with batteries that last approximately three years - no charging required. Vehicle-mounted antennas are hardwired to the ignition and have no consumable parts.
