Why Choose HIT-NOT®?

FIRST PROVEN TECHNOLOGY: Frederick-patented magnetic field proximity systems were the first to be approved (2006) by the U.S. government (MSHA) for use in highly dangerous underground mining operations—a harsh environment requiring quick, reliable response. [View the long list of Frederick Patents]

HIGH RELIABILITY IN CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENTS: HITNOT® uses pulsed, low-frequency magnetic fields that pass through objects, materials, and storage racks to detect and alert threatened pedestrians, other vehicles, and operators. Performance is not affected by dust, weather, reflections, or body interference, and it is not confused by multiple pedestrians or vehicles. No other technology provides this level of reliability.

TRUE 360° DETECTION: Detection goes beyond the path of travel—HITNOT® alerts for personnel at the sides of a forklift and vehicles approaching from outside the field of view of cameras. Side protection is critical: pedestrians have lost feet or been struck by payloads that suddenly shift or fall from forks.

NO REQUIRED ANNUAL FEES – LONG LIFE VALUE: HITNOT® systems have been proven in the field to last, many operational systems are over seven years old. Optional annual service and data programs are available.

INVENTED, BUILT, AND SUPPORTED IN THE USA: HITNOT® is American-invented, designed, patented, developed, assembled, and tested in the U.S.—and trusted globally.

SERVICE & SUPPORT: Customers benefit from responsive, factory-direct service, an experienced field support team, and ongoing service and repair programs to ensure long-term safety performance.

AI-DRIVEN DATA & REPORTING CAPABILITIES (REM SYSTEM): HITNOT®’s Remote Event Monitoring (REM) provides near real-time location awareness and advanced reporting including heat maps for identifying high traffic areas, where shock events have occurred, high pedestrian/vehicle interaction areas, among others. Additionally, Track last known locations, travel times between points all via online dashboard access or AI-email reports. Data uploads via a low-cost relay system, utilizing an independent secure network – limiting facility IT/OT requirements.

Proven Technical Approach

Patented Pulsed Low Frequency Magnetic Fields see through walls, racks, and other blind corner obstructions unlike vision systems. With precise detection without multipath or reflections common with RF ranging technologies such as RFID and UWB.
  • The Right Alerts at the Correct Time, Eliminate the nuisance
  • Works on all types of mobile equipment, no calibration required
  • Designed in Fail-Safes increase system confidence.

Solution Driven

HIT-NOT® recognizes the need to satisfy additional requirements, specific to industries, and unique operational environments – this is done by the use of auxiliary devices that function seamlessly with the basic HIT-NOT® components (MFGs and PADs).  

Large Solution Range from Pedestrian Detection and Collision Avoidance to Autonomous Vehicles, Structure Avoidance, Location Information Reporting, Among Others
