Industry Applications

Safety and the preservation of life is a priority in most companies. Despite this fact, accidents involving heavy equipment are all too frequent. Even those that do not involve personnel become quite costly to corporations in equipment repairs, property damage, and insurance claims. Companies are sometimes subject to wrongful injury or death claims as well. Safety that can be applied toward the prevention of back-over accidents, or limited visibility accident damages is a worthwhile investment.

Quarries and Aggregates

Although most quarries and aggregate plants are in open spaces visibility around vehicles can be limited. The risk of damage or injury to plant, vehicles and more importantly personnel is very real. Mirrors are not adequate as blind spots occur, while the standard reversing alarm is often drowned out by surrounding noise or frequently ignored when on. Saving a life and avoiding damage to property is more than possible with Rearsense Obstacle Detection Radar systems.

Construction
The types of heavy equipment in the construction industry often have very limited visibility on the work-site. Without some kind of application which senses or provides visibility to an object behind or to the side, a dump truck on a motorway construction site for example has nothing but mirrors and an audible reverse alarm (which is often drowned out by other noisy machinery) to prevent a fatal accident. While a backup alarm and mirrors might be seen as satisfactory, the consequences of relying solely on this equipment can be significant. The active combination of Rearsense obstacle detection radars and/or backup alarms (fixed or with adjustable noise levels) can save a life on a construction site.

Waste and Recycling

Waste management companies are not only at risk of injuring their own employees but also members of the public given the nature of their work. They work extensively throughout the towns and cities they operate, often under pressure, and during dark. Saving a life and avoiding damage to property is more than possible with Rearsense Obstacle Detection Radar systems. Waste Management companies around America are taking the initiative to outfit their entire fleet of trucks with object detection sensors which can be networked together to provide visual and audible warning to vehicle operators in the cab.

Mining
In a large open pit mine heavy machinery is working simultaneously to excavate and transport tons of material. The chance of collision is great, especially in undesirable weather conditions where fog can effectively blind all vehicle operations. Mining companies are being proactive to work with Rearsense to equip their vehicle fleets with obstacle detection systems.

Utilities
Utility vehicles worldwide require a range of robust solutions in able to operate safely and cost effectively. Each vehicle type has a unique blind spot challenge that can be addressed with a Rearsense product. By combining passive safety devices such as obstacle detection radars and alarms, an operator can have the information necessary to prevent a collision or save a life.
