The movement of overhead cranes, forklifts and other equipment in harbour areas can make for close and potentially dangerous interaction of workers and machines. Proximity Detection Systems (PDS) can make a valuable contribution to safety in these workspaces.
In applications where it is not practical to issue sensors to employees – such as ship employees who disembark only temporarily – there is even the option of using non-tagged personnel protection. This includes cameras mounted on mobile equipment, which can be enhanced with artificial intelligence – and can work both in daylight and with infra-red technology at night.
