Every year personnel in the workplace are in danger of injury when working in close proximity to moving vehicles and heavy machinery. Up until now there have been very few options available for a system that is effective in lowering the risk of damage and injury as a result of collision.

The BodyGuard Proximity Warning system has been designed to help protect personnel and save lives by lowering the risk of collision between people, moving vehicles and heavy machinery. The system has wide ranging application for personnel, forklifts, cranes, heavy vehicles and moving machinery. . BodyGuard provides an industrial quality proximity warning solution that helps you to maintain a safer workplace.

The BodyGuard proximity warning system has been designed to help save lives by lowering the risk of collision between moving objects.

BodyGuard works by setting up an invisible shield around the object being protected. Whenever this invisible shield is penetrated by another object (that is also fitted with a BodyGuard unit), an alarm is activated to warn the driver/operator to pay attention.

The BodyGuard proximity warning system provides an effective method of protecting people, vehicles,machinery and property from injury and damage resulting from collision. The system has wide ranging applications that involve personnel, forklifts, cranes, heavy vehicles and moving machinery.

The BodyGuard proximity warning system is user-configurable. The user can set the desired protection zone range around each object as required for the application. The typical range is 5m to 50m. BodyGuard will detect objects in the presence of smoke, fog or dust and is immune to interference by heat, sound and light. The built-in Detection History Log provides an ideal tool for planning your safety policies and procedures. The log includes the date , time (to nearest second), ID and type of object detected and the relative proximity.

NOTE: Objects or Personnel fitted with BodyGuard are not restricted to use at certain locations, they will operate anywhere they come into contact with other objects that are also fitted with BodyGuard. BodyGuard works when moving items between multiple sites of a company or even between different companies.
