A new innovation has been tipped to make false alerts caused by object detection sensors a thing of the past.
Spillard Safety Systems will be showcasing its AI Human Detection System (HDS) for the first time at Plantworx 2023 and is expecting it to generate more than £1 million in sales over the next 12 months.
The technology replaces traditional systems by identifying humans through their shape, form and characteristics, delivering audible and visual alerts to operators when a person enters a predetermined restricted, exclusion zone.
This is designed to eliminate previous frustrations where existing measures would detect everything from boulders and structures to machines and vehicles, sending ‘incessant warnings’ to drivers who often choose to ignore them, Spillard expalined.
The AI Human Detection System is already proving successful with plant companies, Tier 1 contractors and infrastructure clients all choosing to fit it to machines. This includes names such as Flannery Plant Hire, Buckingham Group, Clancy, Balfour Beatty, Costain, JN Bentley, Morgan Sindall, Anglian Water, Highways England and HS2.
