Positioning & Ant-collision warning system for heavy machineries

Systems Features

• GPS real-time location tracking and mechanical equipment location

• High precision personal pedestrian warning

• Anti-collision warning events are instantly sent to the cloud

Overview  

 

This heavy machinery position and collision avoidance warning system precisely measures and calculates the distance between two different objects. By utilizing UWB technology this system is capable to alert personnel and pedestrians when there are nearby vehicles approaching. This alarm also integrates GPS and NB-IoT modules; hence, not only can the users grasp the real-time location of all machinery. warnings and flag events could also be broadcast and sent to the mobile device allowing the user to monitor and observe all status of the on-site property in one glance.

 

 

System Architecture  

 

 

Functions and Features  

 

Equipments:

 1.  UWB Audible LED Beacon - Forklift UTAG - SL90F V2
 2. Audible LED Beacon - IoT SL90F-NB V2
  3.  UWB Personnel TAG UTAG - 9056 | UTAG - 5136 | UTAG - H04 | UTAG - 7351

    * Heavy machinery and equipment can be equipped with “heavy duty vehicle collision avoidance beacon” or “NB-IoT beacon”. Among which the NB-IoT beacon has built in GPS and NB-IoT module.

 

1. Ant-collision Warning

      Under the circumstance when the heavy machinery is in operation, it can react with personnel tags that are equipped on pedestrian and alert both devices (beacon and tags) when the safety distance had been protrude.

Equipment required: Personnel TAG or “heavy duty vehicle collision avoidance beacon” or “NB-IoT beacon”

Anti-collision scenario breakdown:  Personnel TAG and heavy machinery warning distance configured to default setting (10 meters).

  1. Personnel equipped with any forms of TAG will alert and vibrate for warning purposes
  2. “Heavy duty vehicle beacon (UTAG - SL90F V2)” will trigger a visible alert; “NB-IoT beacon (UTAG - SL90F - NB V2)” also triggers a visible alert and upload this event and the GPS location to the cloud.
  3. When two machinery approaches, the beacon on both vehicles will trigger a visible and audible alert.
  4. Heavy machinery that moves away from the scene will gradually slow down the alarm interval and eventually stop the alert.

* Heavy vehicle beacon” and “personnel TAG” is capable to set warning distance from 1 ~ 100m (Factory default value is 10m)

* Heavy machinery can be equipped with “Heavy vehicle beacon (UTAG–SL90F V2)” or “NB-IoT beacon (SL90F – NB V2). Among which the NB – IoT beacon can upload the interaction record (time, location) to the cloud.

 

 

 2.Instant upload to cloud
