Proximity alert system from Hexagon boosting site safety

Hexagon’s Leica Geosystems division is now offering an innovative proximity alert package that can help boost site safety. Site personnel and machines carry tags that are recognised by the system and can be identified in the back office. When a site worker comes into proximity with a machine or two pieces of equipment come too close, the system will provide an alert. The tag that the site worker carries will resonate, showing that the person is too close to a working machine. Meanwhile, the alert system in the machine cab will provide a warning to the operator that a person is in the vicinity of the piece of equipment, showing distance as well as direction. Magnus Thibblin, president of the machine control division at Hexagon explained, “The goal is to give the operator visibility of personnel around the machine.”
