ZoneSafe V2P

   01

   The driver's tag switches it on

   Drivers carry their own tag. Placed in the holder in the cab, it activates the system so the vehicle starts monitoring its surroundings. Driver and pedestrian tags are colour-coded so they are not mixed up.

2. 
   02

   The antenna sets the zone

   The antenna creates a 360° zone around the vehicle, set at installation and adjustable up to 10 m. More antennas can form one larger zone or separate zones; one recycling site fits front and rear antennas to its loading shovels.

3. 
   03

   A tagged worker enters, seen or not

   Each worker wears an active RFID VibraTag on an armband, lanyard, belt clip or hard hat, or in a pocket. Detection needs no line of sight, so the tag is picked up through racking, walls and stacked goods and around blind corners.

4. 
   04

   Driver and worker are warned together

   The in-cab control unit gives an audible and visual alarm while the VibraTag vibrates, which the wearer can feel where noise drowns out alarms. The maker expects drivers to slow down or stop and tagged pedestrians to move out of the zone.

   The event is logged and reported

   Detections and vehicle activity are stored in the control unit and uploaded to My ZoneSafe, the maker's subscription cloud platform. Managers can review events, find high-risk areas and trends, and schedule daily, weekly or monthly reports.

Key specs

A vehicle antenna creates a 360° detection zone, adjustable up to 10 m (typically 3–10 m); several antennas can form one large zone or separate zones. When a worker wearing an active RFID VibraTag enters, the in-cab control unit alarms by sound and light and the tag vibrates. Detection needs no line of sight (through racking, walls, stacked goods). VibraTags: IP67, charge in under 2 hours, up to 3 months on standby per charge. Detections are logged and uploaded to the My ZoneSafe cloud service (subscription).
