Overview

One approach, configured for every site

Wherever people work on foot around moving machinery, the risk of a collision is present. Blind spots, noise, dust and tight working areas make it hard for operators and pedestrians to stay aware of each other.

SensorZone adds an active layer of protection to your existing site controls. Every system alerts the operator and the person at risk at the same time, and every event is logged so you can see where risk is concentrated and act on it.
