Tag-based detection
Proximity Warning Core
RFID tags and vehicle-mounted antennas create a 360-degree warning zone around mobile plant. Best for employees and regular contractors who can be issued tags.

Protect workers, contractors and visitors around forklifts, loaders, yard vehicles and mobile plant across your steelmaking operation.
Steel plants are among the most complex workplace transport environments in heavy industry. Employees, contractors, delivery drivers and maintenance teams work alongside forklifts, wheel loaders, heavy goods vehicles and specialized mobile plant, where noise, dust and restricted visibility make it hard for people to stay aware of each other.
SensorZone adds an active layer of protection to your existing traffic management, detecting when a person enters a warning zone around a vehicle and alerting both parties before an incident occurs. Our systems are used by leading steel producers including Nucor, Gerdau and ArcelorMittal.

Vehicle-mounted AI cameras detect people and vehicles without tags. Best for visiting vehicles, contractor equipment and areas where tags are not practical.
Explore Vision360 →
Combines RFID precision with AI camera detection. Best for high-risk areas with a mix of employees, contractors, visitors and external drivers.
Explore Proximity Warning Plus →Retrofit forklifts, loaders and yard vehicles in under an hour per vehicle, without structural changes.
Detection and alerts work without GPS, cellular coverage or fixed infrastructure, including inside buildings and covered areas.
Components withstand the dust, moisture, vibration and impact of demanding steelmaking environments.
Deploy Core in controlled areas, add Vision360 where untagged people are present, or combine both with Proximity Warning Plus.
Tags need no daily charging and last more than three years, reducing administration across large workforces.
Start with a pilot in one high-risk area, then standardize across departments, plants and countries.
Every proximity event on your steel site can be logged to the SensorZone Insights Platform, giving safety teams a continuous picture of where unsafe interactions happen, without relying on manual near-miss reports.
See where events cluster across scrap yards, melt shops, rolling mills and dispatch areas, then redesign routes, exclusion zones and crossing points.
Filter by vehicle, worker, location or shift to spot recurring patterns, such as spikes during shift changes or scrap deliveries.
Track whether events fall after changes to routes, training or layout, and compare performance across mills and sites.
Create consistent reports for site management, group safety teams and audits, and retrieve video of events where cameras are fitted.
You do not need to equip an entire steelworks on day one. Fill out the short form and we will help you assess the site, choose suitable vehicles and set a baseline for measuring improvement.
SensorZone can be configured for different vehicles, environments and risk profiles at every stage of the steelmaking process.
Loaders, material handlers and delivery vehicles work around changing stockpiles and restricted sight lines. Tags alert operators to hidden workers, while AI cameras cover visiting drivers and untagged contractors.
Noise, restricted visibility and demanding schedules reduce awareness around mobile equipment. Configurable warning zones alert operators and workers when unsafe approaches occur.
Forklifts, transfer vehicles and maintenance teams share confined spaces where walkways cross vehicle routes. Tighter zones for indoor vehicles protect people without unnecessary alarms.
External drivers, forklifts and yard vehicles converge during loading. Proximity Warning Plus protects tagged employees while also detecting visiting drivers and other untagged people.
SensorZone can be used across integrated steelworks, electric arc furnace operations, rolling mills, processing facilities, service centers, fabrication sites, warehouses and distribution yards. Every installation is assessed against the specific vehicles, conditions and risks on site.
Proximity Warning Core is usually best where all regular personnel can be issued RFID tags. Proximity Warning Plus suits areas where tagged employees work alongside untagged contractors, visitors or third-party drivers. Many sites use Core across most of the fleet and Plus on selected vehicles in high-traffic areas.
SensorZone hardware is IP67-rated and designed for demanding industrial environments. Correct installation, positioning and routine inspection remain important, particularly for camera lenses in high-dust areas.
SensorZone hardware has a rated operating range of -20 to +60°C and has been deployed with many steel organizations across the United States with no effect on hardware or function.
