RFID Proximity Systems

Manage proximity risk between vehicles, pedestrians, and assets with RFID-based alerts.

How It Works

Proximity Detection

Monitors the defined risk zone between vehicle and pedestrian tags to create immediate alerts.

Site Visibility

Tag, antenna, and gateway architecture supports proximity awareness in moving operations.

Operating Principle

How does it work in the field?

RFID proximity systems match vehicle, pedestrian, and asset tags within defined risk zones to alert for approach risk. Rather than replacing cameras or radar, they provide an active safety layer, especially where line of sight is obstructed.

01

Identifies the tags

RFID tags on vehicles, pedestrians, or assets are assigned their relevant role in the system.

02

Monitors the risk zone

Antenna placement and configured thresholds monitor approach risk for the operation's real working area.

03

Delivers the alert

The driver interface, vibra tag, or site alert communicates the risk condition to the relevant person.

Use Cases

Where does it make the biggest difference?

Warehousing and logistics

Operations where forklifts, reach stackers, and pedestrian traffic share the same working area.

Mining and heavy sites

Areas where loads, structures, or operating conditions frequently obstruct line of sight.

Asset management

The need to monitor proximity relationships between critical equipment and personnel on site.

Engineering Notes

What to consider for the right system

Zone design

Alert distance should be determined by vehicle speed, stopping distance, and site pedestrian flow.

Tag discipline

System reliability depends on the relevant people and equipment carrying the correct tags on site.

Layered approach

RFID forms a comprehensive safety architecture when evaluated together with 360° view, cameras, radar, and audible alerts.
