AI Human Form Recognition for Mobile Plant

Prepare Your Fleet for the Next Generation of Plant Safety

Major contractors are increasingly adopting AI-based human form detection around mobile plant. Vision360 helps fleet operators and contractors introduce intelligent pedestrian detection across their machines while giving safety teams the data to understand where risk is occurring.

Why This Matters Now

Plant Safety Requirements Are Changing

AI-based pedestrian and human detection is moving from an optional driver-assistance feature toward something major contractors increasingly expect to see around mobile plant. For fleet owners and contractors, the question is practical: how do you prepare machines that may work across different customers, projects and safety standards without continually reacting to requirements site by site?

Yesterday

Camera systems primarily provided operator visibility.

Today

AI cameras can actively identify people and alert the operator.

Next

More contractors standardise human-form recognition and expect safer plant entering their sites.

The opportunity is to prepare the fleet once rather than react project by project.

A sign of where the industry is heading

Sisk's move toward mandatory Human Form Recognition from January 2027 is one example of major contractors raising expectations around people-plant interface technology.

Introducing Vision360

One System. Three Levels of Protection.

01
Detect

AI identifies people around the machine. Vision360 cameras continuously analyse their field of view and recognise pedestrians and other configured objects.

02
Alert

Give the operator immediate, understandable warning. The in-cab screen shows the camera image and uses configurable graduated zones to communicate increasing risk.

03
Learn

Turn detections into actionable safety intelligence. Detection events and video flow into the SensorZone Insights Platform, helping fleet and safety teams understand recurring risk across machines and sites.

How Detection Works

Human Detection That Gives Operators Time to React

Vision360's built-in AI actively identifies pedestrians as they enter the camera's field of vision. Graduated alert zones communicate increasing risk as a person approaches the machine, with a secondary audible alert sounding once someone enters the red zone.

MACHINE
Green

Detected, but within the safe area.

Amber

Approaching the warning threshold.

Red

Critical zone with audible warning and event logging.

Vision360 deployed on construction plant on site
Built for DIVERSE Fleets

Designed to Scale Quickly Across a Mixed Fleet

Retrofit existing machines: add AI detection to equipment already in service rather than waiting for fleet replacement.
Configure around the machine: camera quantity and positioning can be adapted to vehicle size and blind spots.
Built for harsh environments: IP67-rated equipment with an operating range of -20°C to +60°C.
Fast installation: typically completed within a couple of hours per vehicle, depending on machine and camera configuration.
The Insights Differentiator

Don't Just Detect Risk. Understand It.

Every Vision360 detection creates information that can help explain where risk exists, how often it is happening and where safety teams should focus next.

Campaign FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Human Form Recognition?

AI analyses camera images to identify a person around the machine and trigger the appropriate visual, audible and data response.

Does everyone need to wear a tag?

No. Vision360 uses camera-based detection, so the individual does not need to carry a tag. Vision360 can also be combined with SensorZone tag-based technology where both approaches are useful.

Can Vision360 be retrofitted to existing machines?

Yes. Configuration depends on machine type and required field of view. Typical installation is completed within a couple of hours per vehicle.

What types of machine can it be used on?

Vision360 is deployed on machines such as excavators, telehandlers, loaders and dumpers, with camera quantity and positioning configured to each machine type.

How many cameras does a machine need?

It depends on the machine and its blind spots. A typical configuration can use four cameras, while larger equipment can support additional cameras.

Can safety teams review previous detections?

Yes. Vision360 video can be accessed through the Insights Platform, including live feeds and historical clips.
