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.
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.
The wearable tag works together with a vehicle-mounted UWB receiver to support proximity-based worker detection.
The worker carries the belt-mounted UWB safety wearable while working in the designated industrial area.
A compatible UWB receiver mounted on the forklift or vehicle identifies the tagged worker within its configured detection range.
The integrated vehicle-side system can provide configured warning or relay-based responses, depending on the selected system configuration.
Designed as a wearable component for industrial worker proximity detection and vehicle safety applications.
Uses UWB-based proximity technology for communication with a compatible vehicle-mounted receiver.
Designed to be worn by workers as part of an industrial worker proximity detection arrangement.
The system supports a configurable detection range from 1 metre to 10 metres.
The specified system proximity accuracy is approximately ±20 cm.
The specified wearable battery life is up to approximately 5 days, depending on operating conditions.
Designed for use with compatible forklift and industrial vehicle proximity detection systems.
Suitable for industrial environments where workers and moving vehicles share operational areas, subject to system compatibility and deployment requirements.
