Worker and pedestrian safety in warehouses and other industrial workplaces remain a top priority for companies across the country. The most common accidents in these work environments occur when powered vehicles are involved. Particularly, pedestrian safety when working around forklifts often has room for improvement.

The HIT-NOT® Proximity Alert Sensor addresses these problems by providing an advanced solution in collision avoidance. When warnings in the workplace occur too frequently, or there are false alarms due to technology limitations, an alert system becomes unusable and ineffective. HIT-NOT® combats this problem by warning everyone only when that individual is dangerously close to a powered vehicle. As a forklift pedestrian warning system, HIT-NOT® provides an effective and efficient solution to the most common types of accidents in the workplace.

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
