Product Overview

Real-time proximity
safety around forklifts.

The Forklift Anti-Collision Wearables system uses Ultra-Wideband (UWB) proximity detection to identify when pedestrians enter configurable forklift danger zones. Wearable tags and a forklift receiver provide real-time alerts, while dual potential-free relay contacts can interface with vehicle control systems for speed reduction or engine cut-off applications.

UWB-Based Proximity Safety Architecture

From pedestrian detection
to vehicle control.

Belt-worn UWB tags communicate with the forklift-mounted receiver to detect proximity and activate audible and visual warnings. The receiver also provides potential-free relay contacts for compatible vehicle control systems.

Control & Integration

Proximity detection
with vehicle integration.

The system combines UWB proximity detection with local audible and visual warnings and potential-free relay outputs. This allows the safety response to be connected to relay-compatible forklift control systems where required.

01	UWB Detection	Detect pedestrian proximity within a configurable 1–10 metre range with ±20 cm accuracy.
02	Audible Siren	Provide a high-decibel proximity warning with a specified output range of 90–110 dB.
03	Visual LEDs	Provide a visual indication when a configured proximity condition is detected.
04	Relay Output 1	Potential-free NO/NC relay contact for connection to compatible vehicle control circuitry.
05	Relay Output 2	Second potential-free NO/NC relay contact for supported control functions.
06	Forklift Controller	Integrate the receiver with relay-compatible controllers for speed reduction or engine cut-off applications.

System Flow

How proximity becomes a safety response.

A typical deployment places UWB wearable tags with pedestrians and a receiver on the forklift. When a configurable proximity condition is reached, the system provides warning and relay outputs.
