Reversing, blind spots and poor segregation put ground workers in the path of heavy machinery every day.
Being struck by a moving vehicle or object accounts for two of the three biggest causes of GB workplace deaths.
Operators can't watch every blind spot, and banksmen or signage alone can't stop a moment's lapse.
Major contractors — led by Balfour Beatty — now require Human Form Recognition on plant as a condition of working on site.
AI cameras trained to recognise human forms — moving or stationary — around plant and machinery. Configurable detection zones drive a staged response: an audible warning at five metres escalating to a spoken alarm at two, with an in-cab zone display for the operator and LED signals for those on the ground. Every detection can be pushed to the cloud for review, reporting and compliance evidence.
Detects moving and stationary people in defined zones — algorithms refined over years in high-footfall environments.
Audible warning at 5 metres escalates to a spoken alarm at 2 metres — response matched to risk.
In-cab monitor marks out the detection zones, showing a person's position and proximity at a glance.
Thumbs-up and no-entry displays tell ground workers instantly whether they've been seen.
Standardised plug-and-play connections cut install time, simplify diagnostics and reduce vehicle downtime.
Designed to meet Balfour Beatty HFR criteria, with cloud-pushed events for audit and reporting.
