What are Pedestrian Proximity Sensors?
Pedestrian proximity sensors are safety devices designed to detect people near heavy machinery, such as forklifts, in industrial environments like warehouses and manufacturing plants. These sensors identify the presence of pedestrians and alert operators in real-time to prevent accidents.
The importance of pedestrian proximity sensors cannot be overstated. They significantly enhance workplace safety by reducing the risk of collisions between machinery and workers. When a pedestrian is detected within the sensor's range, an immediate alert allows operators to take preventive actions, thus avoiding potential accidents and injuries.
What Makes SEEN's Proximity Sensor Stand Out?
SEEN Safety’s cutting-edge IRIS 860 sensor uses an infrared laser to detect the reflective tape on high visibility work-wear, transforming it into part of an active detection system. Here are 3 points that make SEEN Safety technology stand out:
1. Universal Compatibility
One of the standout features of SEEN's safety system is its compatibility with a wide range of machinery makes and models. Whether you're operating a wheel loader, a forklift, a reach truck, or any other mobile machinery, SEEN's system is designed to fit seamlessly into your existing setup. It is brand agnostic and has been attached to most of the top 10 forklift brands already. This universality is a game-changer, as it means that you don't need to invest in separate safety systems for each type of machinery you use.
SEEN has achieved this remarkable versatility through thoughtful engineering and design. Their sensor is adaptable and can be easily integrated into various machine configurations. Accessories include a bracket and weathershield if needed. This flexibility not only saves you money but also simplifies the process of outfitting your machinery with state-of-the-art safety technology.
2. Effortless Installation
The installation process for SEEN's safety system is refreshingly straightforward. Unlike some complex safety systems that require extensive training and specialized technicians, SEEN's sensor can be installed by an auto electrician without breaking a sweat.
The key to this simplicity lies in the design of the sensor. It comes with clear and easy-to-follow installation instructions that allow auto electricians to get the job done quickly and efficiently. When you install SEEN, there's no need for time-consuming and costly installations that disrupt your operations. You'll have your safety system up and running in no time.
3. No Calibration Needed
Another significant advantage of SEEN's pedestrian detection system is that it requires no calibration. Calibration is a critical and often time-consuming step in setting up many safety systems, but with SEEN, this hassle is completely eliminated.
The sensor is pre-configured to work effectively right out of the box - though it can be easily customised to suit your environment through our free and easy to use config app. This means that once it's installed, you can immediately enjoy the peace of mind that comes with enhanced safety without having to spend extra time fine-tuning the system. This no-calibration feature not only simplifies the installation process but also reduces ongoing maintenance requirements, saving you time and money in the long run.
