Real outcomes from pilot-led safety deployment
SonaSafe is validated through real-world deployment, pilot-led implementation and measurable safety improvement. These results show how configured proximity detection, real-time alerts and event data can help reduce risk, improve behaviour and give safety leaders clearer evidence for action.

Devices monitored
Outcomes are based on documented deployments and depend on site conditions, configuration, user adoption and pilot scope. SonaSafe validates the right model in each environment before rollout.
The technical proof behind the outcomes
Customer outcomes are supported by SonaSafe’s engineered approach to forklift and mobile plant safety: accurate detection, non-line-of-sight capability, configurable zones, real-time alerts and data that helps teams understand what is happening on site.
560ms
response time
Fast response helps move SonaSafe from incident review toward earlier warning and intervention.
23m non-line-of-sight detection range
Designed to support detection through and around pallets, racking and container stacks in real operating environments.
360° mobile plant

Customer results
The below showcases the results from two of SonaSafe's foundation customers: Mainstream and KiwiRail. Together, they show the value of SonaSafe in freight, logistics, warehousing, container terminal and broader mobile plant environments.
Case Study 1 - Overview
Mainstream – reducing near misses across freight hub operations
Mainstream deployed SonaSafe to support its No Avoidable Harm goal across freight hub environments. The solution used personal detector units, dynamic exclusion zones, real-time alerts and cloud-based event data to help reduce near misses, improve workforce engagement and support safer operating behaviour.

Case Study 2 - Overview
KiwiRail – turning proximity data into safer behaviour
KiwiRail used SonaSafe across container terminal environments where heavy machinery, container handling equipment and ground personnel operate in close proximity. SonaSafe helped provide real-time alerts, dashboard visibility and event data that supported traffic management changes, daily safety review and longer term behavioural change.

What these results show
Mainstream and KiwiRail show two important sides of SonaSafe’s value.
Mainstream demonstrates the impact of configured proximity detection in freight
and logistics environments, with clear reductions in near-miss incidents and exclusion-zone breaches.
KiwiRail demonstrates the value of long
term behavioural change in complex container terminal operations, where real-time alerts, dashboard data and daily review helped turn hidden risk patterns into visible safety action.
Together, these results show why SonaSafe uses a pilot-led approach. Every site is different. The right deployment model, configuration and success measures should be validated in the customer’s own environment before rollout.
