What is proximity detection technology and why is it important?

Posted to on Share:

TO ENSURE that your workers aren’t getting dangerously close to moving vehicles, equipment, or restricted areas, employers must adopt modern proximity warning systems that can accurately and reliably monitor your workers’ behaviour, and alert them to dangers in real-time.

R-Link offers modern proximity detection technology. R-Link itself is a fully integrated ecosystem that allows employers to gain an unprecedented data insight into workplace risks.

R-Link’s approach to collision warning alerts combines Reactec’s decades of experience within the construction safety and prevention engineering space with the latest ultra-wideband (UWB) technology for fast and accurate detection. Ultra-wideband technology is a communication technology that offers stable, rapid transmission of data across relatively short distances, and this allows duty holders to make sense of interactions between pedestrians and hazards to prevent incidents and near misses before they occur.

R-Link’s proximity detection technology is powered by Reactec’s powerful cloud-based analytics software. The Reactec Analytics track worksite behaviour and provide invaluable information about who, where, and how often of near misses happen, so that teams can take preventative measures based on data driven decisions. These Analytics reports - which are distributed automatically to duty holders - show where hotspots occur on worksites, meaning they’ll have the information needed to improve controls and efficiencies without complexity or delay.
