BRIGADE Electronics has announced plans to showcase its new Artificial Intelligence (AI) range and predictive collision warning systems at Plantworx 2023 next month.
Brigade’s AI cameras use artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect and recognise people within a pre-defined detection zone to warn drivers via visual and/or audible alerts.
Image processing is built into the camera, meaning no other hardware is required.
The range includes Brigade’s AI camera, CAREYE, which evaluates images from cameras fitted to the vehicle and can calculate the future course of motion of nearby people and objects.
The firm will also be demonstrating Brigade Fusion, which uses fusion technology to combine Brigade’s range of safety devices, including its 360-degree camera and radar obstacle detection, with M2M RTLS (Real Time Location System) technology.
The system is designed to predict high-risk events, providing operators with alerts and, if required, will signal the machine to prevent movement, slow down or stop completely if the operator is unable to react in time.
The new system adds EMESRT (Earth Moving Equipment Safety Round Table) Level 8 and Level 9 collision avoidance to its existing Level 7.
Emily Hardy, marketing manager of Brigade Electronics UK, said, “Prediction technology and AI have been essential features in improving safety and reducing false alerts for drivers and operators – something that has proved to be problematic in the past. Our latest products combine these technologies with high-quality design to deliver the ultimate in safety for plant and mobile machinery.”
