Mobile plant pedestrian detection for complex industrial sites
Heavy industry and manufacturing environments often include forklifts, tow tractors, gantry cranes, loaders, mobile platforms, maintenance vehicles and contractors working around fixed plant. SonaSafe helps configure proximity detection and reporting around the real movement patterns and critical risks of each site.
Where risk commonly appears
Mobile plant and pedestrians interacting around production lines, fixed plant and maintenance corridors.
Contractor work zones with changing workforce access and varying familiarity with site rules.
Dust, noise, lighting changes and complex layouts reducing awareness.
Large mobile plant, forklifts, tow tractors, loaders, gantry crane environments and high-consequence operating zones.
Repeat-risk events that are difficult to see without event data and reporting.
Specific features developed in partnership with leading heavy industry and manufacturing companies.
Gantry Solution
SonaSafe’s gantry system enhances safety around overhead cranes and suspended loads by monitoring the movement of both plant and people beneath the gantry. The system provides real time alerts when workers enter warning or stop zones, helping prevent crush, swing and drop related incidents. By giving operators and ground crews instant, actionable feedback, SonaSafe supports safer lifts, smoother workflows and more predictable behaviour in high-risk fabrication and manufacturing environments.
Vehicle on Vehicle
SonaSafe reduces vehicle on vehicle collisions by detecting approaching mobile plant and alerting operators before paths intersect. The system monitors surrounding vehicles in real time and triggers warning or stop alerts when another machine enters a defined risk zone. This helps prevent side-swipes, nose-to-nose impacts and intersection collisions supporting smoother traffic flow, safer manoeuvring and more predictable movement across busy industrial sites.
Camera AI Integration
SonaSafe enhances heavy-industry safety by integrating seamlessly with third-party camera AI systems, creating a complete, high confidence view of people and plant movements. Ground crews and operators receive real-time proximity alerts and collision avoidance warnings, while camera AI adds powerful visual verification and incident review. Together, they deliver a full-picture safety solution that supports critical lifts, complex manoeuvres and high-risk workflows across steel, fabrication and heavy manufacturing sites.
Hoist 6 Sounder System
SonaSafe's hoist 6-sounder system continuously monitors hoist proximity zones to safeguard personnel working around heavy lifting operations where suspended loads, restricted visibility and high-consequence hazards are present. The system provides immediate real time audible proximity alerts to operators and personnel whenever a person enters a designated warning or exclusion area.
This helps prevent struck-by, crush, swing-load and drop-zone incidents associated with hoist operations resulting in safer hoist operations, improved situational awareness and more controlled material handling.

Data that helps safety and operations teams act
SonaSafe reporting helps teams identify repeat-risk zones, review proximity events, engage workers with visual evidence and support toolbox meetings with data rather than anecdotes. It also gives executives and site leaders a clearer view of leading indicators, rather than waiting for lagging injury statistics.
