Safety Shield

Safety Shield is the most advanced AI human form recognition safety system on the market. Originally developed for the construction industry, the technology can be fitted to any type of plant, for industries such as construction, rail, mining, demolition and waste.

Safety Shield’s zone configurations can be adapted depending on the requirements of each machine and site. For example, a bulldozer may require a different zone configuration than a telehandler, depending on the type of work being carried out. The zone configurations are important as they improve safety and efficiency on the worksite. Safety Shield allows you to configure yellow zones and red zones, giving you full control of people detection and alerts.
