Safety Shield

AI HUMAN FORM RECOGNITION SAFETY SYSTEM

The technology behind the Safety Shield system consists only of Al cameras, there are no tags, sensors or radars.

Safety Shield works as the drivers third eye, only detecting the human form, therefore reducing driver distractions as well as only alerting when a collision is imminent.

This cutting-edge collision avoidance solution is designed to enhance safety across high-risk environments such as construction, mining, rail, demolition, and waste management. Engineered with precision, it uses advanced Al human form recognition to detect pedestrians in real-time, significantly reducing the risk of accidents involving heavy machinery.

Safety Shield Key Features

AI Human Form Recognition

The system is trained to detect only human forms, filtering out all other objects. This minimizes distractions for operators and ensures alerts are only triggered when a person enters a danger zone.

Customisable Detection Zones

Safety Shield allows for tailored yellow and red detection zones, adaptable to different machinery and site layouts. This flexibility ensures optimal safety coverage for equipment like bulldozers, telehandlers, cranes, and more.

High-Definition Cameras

Equipped with HD, waterproof, dust-proof, and shock-resistant cameras, the system provides a 360° view with a configurable detection range from 0.5 to 50 meters.

Operator Interface

Inside the cab, operators receive visual and audible alerts via a user-friendly interface, acting as a "third eye" to prevent collisions.

Digital Thumbs Up System

An optional feature that enables safe communication between site personnel and machine operators, ensuring individuals approach machinery only when it is safe to do so.

AI Core System Unit

The central processing hub that integrates all components, ensuring seamless operation and real-time decision-making.
