The Forklift Anti-Collision Wearables system from Nex-G Automation LLP is a state-of-the-art Ultra-Wideband (UWB) safety solution engineered to prevent collisions between forklifts and on-ground personnel in industrial environments.
This intelligent proximity detection system enables real-time alerts and automatic forklift speed control when workers enter defined danger zones—dramatically reducing the risk of accidents.
The complete system includes:
Each wearable is ergonomically designed and housed in a rugged aluminum enclosure, worn comfortably on the waist. The forklift-mounted receiver is equipped with a high-decibel siren and potential-free relay outputs to interface with the forklift control system—enabling automatic speed reduction or engine cut-off based on proximity alerts.
