Frederick Mobile Instrumentation’s Team has over 15 years of experience in proximity detection systems development for multiple applications including mining and material handling; holding over 50 patents. These technologies include HazardAvert™ (now part of Strata Worldwide for mining, tunneling, and ports) and HIT-NOT® used across many material handling applications in a variety of industries. Modern construction sites have inherent dangers for pedestrians due to the amount and size of the mobile equipment performing various operations. This equipment includes loaders, excavators, cranes, dump trucks among others. Also, collisions between vehicles is also possible with life altering results.
These applications require a robust, reliable solution that is cost effective to install. The SAFEDIST® Proximity Detection System combines the lessons learned in handling large equipment in harsh environments from the HazardAvert™ System with the Simple Install and additional analytics available with the HIT-NOT® System. SAFEDIST® uses our patented pulsed, low frequency magnetic field technology that is unaffected by the environmental conditions commonly present on construction sites.
The Mission of FMI is to eliminate struck-by accidents in industrial environments by utilizing advanced proximity alert technology to assist the operator in the safe operation of their equipment.
Magnetic Field Generators Create Precise Alert Zones Around Heavy Equipment. Detection Zone is Adjustable for the Application. Signals Operator of People or Equipment within defined Warning and Danger Zones. They also include collision avoidance modules – alerting other equipment in close proximity. Systems also can include multiple generators to further shape the fields around the larger pieces of Equipment.
Personal Alarm Devices, worn by personnel on their hardhat or in their safety vest, alert the user when within close proximity of the equipment.
Allow our team to introduce our product portfolio; and offer potential solutions for deployment on your Job Site.
Our team assesses your operation for implementation of safe workplace solutions On-Site and provides a demonstration of the product and how it will meet your requirements.
Our products are simple to install on all types of mobile equipment; they only require power. This can be accomplished by your maintenance team or a 3rd party installer.
The System architecture has been developed to provide robust detection even through many obstructions and last for years in harsh environments. These proximity sensors work in low visibility conditions and temperature extremes.
Each unit generates an adjustable 360 degree field.
The System uses vehicle proximity sensors creates precise boundaries between safe and unsafe zones, simultaneously alert both the pedestrian and the operator audibly and visibly.
The proximity alert systems have been successfully installed on many types of equipment from continuous miners, forklifts to loaders and dump trucks. The installation interface is simple – only requires power. Adjustments to zone sizes are easily accomplished and each truck functions independent of others – meaning each truck’s alert zones can be configured for the operation it is performing.
