Industrial Worker Proximity Safety

UWB Worker
Safety Wearable

The Nex-G Automation UWB Worker Safety Wearable is a belt-mounted proximity tag designed to work with a compatible vehicle-mounted receiver. It forms part of a UWB-based forklift pedestrian detection and industrial vehicle proximity safety system, helping identify when a tagged worker enters the configured detection zone.

A Wearable Tag for Industrial Proximity Safety

In warehouses, factories and industrial facilities, forklifts and other moving vehicles often operate in areas shared with pedestrians. The UWB worker safety wearable provides a tag that can be carried by workers as part of a compatible proximity detection system.

The wearable communicates with a UWB receiver mounted on the vehicle. The receiver uses the UWB proximity information to identify the presence of a tagged worker within the configured detection range.

This arrangement supports forklift pedestrian detection, worker proximity monitoring and vehicle-based warning functions when integrated with the compatible receiver and vehicle safety architecture.

Important: The wearable is a component of the UWB proximity safety system. Detection processing and vehicle-side warning or relay functions are handled by the compatible receiver and associated system.
Working Principle

How the UWB Wearable Works

The wearable tag works together with a vehicle-mounted UWB receiver to support proximity-based worker detection.

01

Worker Wears the Tag

The worker carries the belt-mounted UWB safety wearable while working in the designated industrial area.

02

Vehicle Receiver Detects Proximity

A compatible UWB receiver mounted on the forklift or vehicle identifies the tagged worker within its configured detection range.

03

Vehicle Safety System Responds

The integrated vehicle-side system can provide configured warning or relay-based responses, depending on the selected system configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

UWB Worker Safety Wearable FAQs

Common questions about the industrial worker safety tag and its role in forklift proximity detection.

A UWB worker safety wearable is a belt-mounted proximity tag carried by industrial workers. It communicates with a compatible UWB receiver to support worker detection around forklifts and other industrial vehicles.
The worker wears the UWB tag. A compatible receiver installed on the forklift detects the tagged worker within the configured proximity range. The connected vehicle-side system can then provide its configured warning or relay response.
The UWB proximity safety system supports a configurable detection range of approximately 1 metre to 10 metres. The actual configuration should be selected according to the vehicle, site layout and operating requirements.
The specified wearable battery life is approximately 5 days. Actual battery performance may vary with operating conditions and usage.
The wearable is designed to work as part of a compatible UWB proximity safety system. It requires a compatible vehicle-mounted receiver for proximity detection. Vehicle-side warning and relay functions depend on the connected system configuration.
They can be deployed in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, forklift operating areas, distribution centres and other industrial locations where workers and moving vehicles share operational space.
The system uses UWB technology for its proximity detection function. It does not depend on outdoor GPS positioning or local Wi-Fi infrastructure for this proximity detection.
