Forklift Collision Avoidance System

Forklift Collision Avoidance System

Forklift Anti-collision Auxiliary Alarm System

Model: UWB-FAS
Overview: This Forklift Collision Avoidance Warning System utilizes the latest technology of what UWB features in precision standard. This technology is capable of significantly reducing the risk of avoiding collision especially between moving vehicle and pedestrian in working spaces. Whilst the system is measuring the distance at all time, it simultaneously creates an invisible barrier to actively detect forklifts or pedestrians who exists in a hazardous area of each to reduce the likeliness of collision event. Our system features both audible and visual warning, it also has a adjustable caution range between 0.1m ~100m, which in all increases the compatibility in different occasion and environment.


There are 3 main components consists in this system:

Static Siren (Static): Suitable for deployments at entrances and exits. Detects nearby forklift that is approaching.

Forklift Siren (Dynamic): Suitable for vehicles. Detects nearby forklifts equipped with a siren and pedestrian who wears a tag.

TAG (Dynamic): Suitable for pedestrians. Detects nearby forklifts equipped with a siren and pedestrian who wears a tag.

 2.Forklift TAG.
 3.Forklift Audible LED Beacon. 
 4.Anti-collision information collecting base station


Summaryof case:

 The action of the fixed alarm when a forklift is approaching to a set distance (preset at 10 meter)will be:

 ●  Fixed alarm(UTAG-SL90,standard)and forklift alarm(UTAG-90F,standard)will alert with light and sound effect; If it is forklift TAG (UTAG-7045,optional),then will alert with LED flash ligh.

 ●  When a forklift is getting closer to another forklift,they will both alert with sound and light effect alarm or LED flash light.

 ●  When forklift passed by the fixed alarm and exceeds the set distance,the alert system of both the fixed alarm and forklift alarm will automatically turn off.

 ●  The set distance could range between 1 to 100 meters(to be set by the user),the preset distance is 10m.

 

* Note: Fixed alarm siren could be expanded to become Anti-collision information collecting base stations (UWB-04 or UWB-02) that prossess localization function to achieve the followings:
1. To control the frequency of forklifts passing by via wire or
     wireless internet.
2. Roll call function to check the working progress of forklift.
3. With the localization function to manage motion positioning/
    searching/ tracking etc.
