In manufacturing plants, warehouses, and many other areas of work, workers are exposed to risks every day when using or moving in contexts with vehicles and industrial machinery for handling and lifting.

The devices that are mounted on the machines and worn by pedestrians guarantee a high level of prevention for Pedestrian-Machine, Machine-Machine, and Machine-Fixed Obstacle accidents. thanks to the integration between different types of warning and danger signals, and systems of an automatic slowdown of the vehicles.

The solutions for active safety at work, allow:

  • preventing injuries and incidents
  • monitoring environments and identifying the most dangerous spots
  • interacting with operators in real-time
  • checking the health status of workers in indoor and outdoor contexts
  • reporting dangerous situations
Collision avoidance systems for industrial vehicles
Collision avoidance systems for forklifts and industrial vehicles
Industrial collision avoidance systems monitor the distance between static and moving obstacles to reduce the risk of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian accidents. Technologies used include UWB (Ultra-Wideband) and AOA (Angle of Arrival).
Anti-collision solutions
Zoning and slowing down industrial vehicles
Zoning and safety through real-time locating
Automatic speed reduction and forced slowdown in high-risk zones. Restricted entry to hazardous areas for unauthorized personnel or vehicles with access controls through gateways.
Zoning & RTLS safety

FAQ

Insights and FAQs on active safety

What are the main risks in industrial material handling?

Risks in machine handling:

  • Alarming statistics: 61% of warehouse injuries involve material handling equipment; almost 40% of injuries in the manufacturing sector are caused by material handling accidents.
  • Economic costs: downtime, compensation, increased insurance premiums, and non-compliance penalties.
  • Regulatory obligations: safety regulations impose specific prevention measures for workplace safety — including OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178 (US), EU Directive 89/391/EEC and Directive 2009/104/EC (Europe), and EU Regulation 2023/1230 on Machinery (applicable from January 2027).
  • Organizational impact: material damage and productivity loss.
Why do accidents occur in warehouses or manufacturing facilities?

Main causes of industrial vehicle accidents:

  • Poor visibility: blind spots of material handling equipment and high-interference zones.
  • Pedestrian-vehicle interaction: lack of distinction between operational areas and pedestrian pathways.
  • Excessive speed: driving behaviors not compliant with safety limits.
  • Absence of zoning: failure to define risk areas and controlled zones.

What are the main costs of an accident involving industrial vehicles?

Types of accident costs for a company:

  • Direct costs: sickness, compensation/insurance, medical expenses, legal/bureaucratic costs.
  • Indirect costs: lost productivity, recruitment and training of new resources, overtime, collateral damage to machinery and property.
  • Intangible costs: damage to reputation, negative effects on colleagues.
