PWAS-Display
Accidents involving vehicles reversing are a common safety issue on worksites. The Proximity Warning and Alert System (PWAS) is designed to mitigate these risks. Unlike systems that rely on personnel wearing identifiable tags, this PWAS uses sensors to detect all nearby individuals and objects, regardless of tagging. It provides timely warnings and integrates with the vehicle’s control systems to enhance collision avoidance and overall safety. Additionally, the system features a display that shows the distance of detected objects or personnel, offering real-time distance information to further assist operators in preventing accidents.
- Wide Coverage: Provides extensive angle detection to ensure comprehensive surveillance.
- Object Detection: Detects any objects entering the defined detection zone.
- Warnings: Issues visual and audible alerts to notify of potential hazards.
- Blind Spot Elimination: Reduces or eliminates areas that are not visible to the operator.
- Adjustable Range: Allows customization of the detection range from 6 to 12 meters.
- Bluetooth Configuration: Facilitates easy setup and adjustment through a mobile app via Bluetooth technology.
- Universal Fit: Compatible with all types of machinery.
- Incident Reporting: Offers functionality for recording and reporting incidents and hazards.
- Display: Shows the distance of detected objects or personnel in real-time, providing clear distance information to the operator.
PWAS Control Unit
The PWAS control unit is positioned next to the heavy equipment operator within the vehicle. It activates an alarm when it detects personnel or objects approaching the hazard zone, alerting the operator to potential dangers. The unit also records events and hazards, providing valuable data for evaluating and managing worksite risks. Additionally, it features a display that shows the distance of detected objects or personnel, giving the operator clear, real-time information to enhance situational awareness.
PWAS Sensor
The PWAS sensor is installed on the rear of the vehicle, creating an extensive detection zone that identifies personnel and objects. The standard detection range is set to eight meters, with the flexibility to be adjusted based on the specific requirements of the site.
Proximity Zone
Backover accidents often occur due to limited operator visibility. The Proximity Zone is designed to mitigate this issue by defining a specific hazard area where objects crossing it can be detected. The default Proximity Zone covers an approximate 180-degree field with an 8-meter range, which can be adjusted according to the site’s safety requirements.
PWAS Camera & Monitor
Integrating the PWAS Camera and Monitor with the PWAS enhances operator confidence by improving visibility of personnel and property in the machinery's blind spots. Cameras are installed at both the front and rear of the machinery, while the monitor is situated in the cab to provide clear visual feedback and alerts. Additional cameras can be added as needed to meet specific site requirements.
