Brigade Electronics launches RFID ZoneSafe solution

Brigade Electronics has added ZoneSafe, a radio frequency identification (RFID) proximity warning system, to their range of vehicle safety systems. 

ZoneSafe uses RFID technology to create detection zones around vehicles, reducing the risk of injury or damage from collisions and near-miss occurrences with people and property.

ZoneSafe uses vehicle-mounted antennas that communicate with detection tags that can be worn by workers, set up in restricted areas, or placed on objects or property.

When a tag enters a detection zone, the vehicle operator will automatically receive a visual and audible alert via an in-cab control unit, which will allow them to take the necessary action.

Owing to the RFID technology, which does not require line of sight, tags will be detected regardless of obstructions, blind spots, adverse weather conditions or poor visibility.
