Mitigating Risk Wherever Pedestrians and Heavy Equipment Interact
The SEEN System is used in a wide variety of applications and environments, including; freight logistics, distribution, manufacturing, food and beverage, ports, heavy materials processing, waste and recycling, forest products, and more.
Use-Case Examples
Forklift
Unfortunately, back-over incidents involving forklifts and pedestrians are all too common. SEEN IRIS 860 sensors provide a simple, effective, and affordable solution to enhance pedestrian safety around all types of lift trucks. Customisable detection zones and optional reverse-only alerts make these sensors ideal for busy, confined spaces where people and forklifts operate in close proximity.
Typical forklift setup
One or two IRIS 860 sensors on the back of the machine (60º or 120º coverage)
Early warning (beeping) at 4m / 13ft
Critical alert at 3m / 10ft
Sensors pre set so they can only alert if the machine is in reverse.
Wheel Loader
Wheel loaders present unique risks due to their size, articulation, and frequent directional changes. The IRIS 860 sensor is designed for large equipment operating in challenging outdoor environments, offering reliable pedestrian detection with minimal operational disruption and cost. The system selectively detects personnel wearing high-visibility gear and tagged hazards, ensuring operators receive only relevant alerts.
Typical wheel loader setup
One or two IRIS 860 sensors monitoring the rear of the machine, mounted above the radiator
Early warning (beeping) at 6m / 19ft
Critical alert at 5m / 16ft
Sensors pre set so they can only alert if the machine is in reverse.

Additional setup option
One front facing sensor mounted high on the machine to see past the load
Detection range set to 8/ / 26ft
Detection alert only in forward gear

Telehandler
Telehandlers have major blind-spots which can result in serious risk to pedestrian workers in close proximity to the machine as it loads and unloads materials.
IRIS 860 sensors can be strategically placed to monitor critical hazard areas around the machine. This targeted approach avoids the problem of irrelevant alerts from people who are safety working close to the machine, but are not in blind-spot areas.
Typical telehandler set up
1 or 2 IRIS 860 sensors monitoring the rear of the machine, plus another sensor monitoring the boom-side blind spot
Detection range set to 4m / 13ft on the rear, 5m / 16ft on the front boom side
Rear sensors pre set so they can only alert if the machine is in reverse.

Container Handlers
SEEN’s IRIS 860 infrared technology is particularly well suited to container terminals where steel shipping containers present unique challenges for RF/RFID detection systems, and poor lighting affects camera systems. SEEN’s optical laser sensor provides a simple to implement, cost-effective, and reliable active detection system for container handlers and reach stackers.
IRIS 860 sensors are also ideal for general port stevedoring operations, including on large machines processing logs and other heavy cargo.
Typical container handler setup
One or two IRIS 860 sensors monitoring the rear of the machine
Critical alert set to 8m / 26ft
Sensors pre set so they can only alert if the machine is in reverse.
