Check if SEEN is a good fit for you
Review each question below to check if SEEN sensors will be a good fit for your business (click to open).
-
No = Great Fit
If your facility design and workflow layout means pedestrian workers need to work in proximity to your mobile equipment, then adding an additional active safety control is a smart idea. SEEN sensors offer a highly effective and practical way to improve the safety of ground personnel in critical risk zones around your mobile equipment.
Yes = Good Fit
Although detecting pedestrians may not be your number-one concern, SEEN sensors can also be used to mitigate machine-to-machine and machine-to-property collision risk. Sensors can also be used to detect people in exclusion zones, around doorways, and drop-zones. -
Yes = Great Fit
If your workers are wearing high-vis PPE with reflective tape, they should be detectable.
No = Poor Fit
If your workers don’t currently have reflective tape on their clothing, this would be a poor fit. SEEN sensors are designed to detect reflective tape on standard day/night high-vis PPE.
If detecting property is your main concern, then you might still be a good fit because objects can be easily tagged for detection using reflective tape.

Fixed (like a warehouse, depot or processing facility) = Great Fit
SEEN sensors are predominantly used in fixed locations like warehouses, depots, manufacturing facilities etc., where material handling machines operate in close proximity to pedestrian workers, and where wearing high-vis PPE is mandatory. Unlike 360 degree proximity detection systems, SEEN sensors target critical risk zones only, which helps to avoid the problem of over-detection, especially in confined spaces.
Variable (like a construction site) = Not always a good fit
Although SEEN sensors are used on a wide range of machines and applications, some environments –like construction– are not always a natural fit. Consider: Will everyone on site always be wearing reflective high-vis safety gear? Will implementation be challenging due to numerous different contractors and equipment lease providers on-site? Do your work-sites have a lot of reflective road-cones or reflective tape that may cause irrelevant alerts?

We recommend talking with a SEEN product specialist to better understand your requirements.
-
Yes = Great Fit
Because SEEN sensors don't require a clear optical image to enable detection, they still offer reliable detection even in environments where dust, dirt, water, and condensation may be present on the sensor windows. SEEN sensors can also detect in total darkness or direct sun glare. If reliability of detection in all conditions is important to you, SEEN sensors are a great choice.
No = Great Fit
Given that SEEN sensors can handle dusty, dirty, wet and dark conditions, a clean well lit workplace will be no problem!
-
No = Great Fit
Restricting sources of reflective tape in the operating environment to just your high-vis PPE and/or high-risk infrastructure, will result in the best safety outcome because any alerts will be highly relevant.
Yes = Poor Fit
Having a lot of reflective tape on non-critical items reduces the effectiveness of the alert in safety-critical situations, like when a person is being detected. Often this reflective tape isn't there for any specific purpose and can be covered or removed.
-
Yes = Great Fit
Because SEEN sensors are simple to set up and install, they can be deployed at scale across large and distributed enterprise fleets making them an excellent option for large organisations. Installation is done by your OEM/equipment provider or by your in-house service team, and involves minimal machine down-time. Sensors can either be retrofitted to existing machines or added to your new equipment.
No = Great Fit
No matter how many machines you have, thanks to SEEN’s simple setup and installation requirements, roll-out is relatively straight-forward and inexpensive. Installation can be done by an auto-electrician or by your OEM/equipment provider, and the sensors can either be retrofitted to existing machines or added to your new equipment.
