Combo PWAS is an integration of both Tag and Non-Tag PWAS system. It provides more flexibility, and quick and easy adaptation for various sites safety requirements. The combo offers Vehicle To individual & Vehicle To Vehicle accident prevention system. It also can sense any object to avoid back over accidents. The system features event and hazard recording which can help during risk assessment and incident investigation.
PWAS Control Unit
The PWAS control unit is placed next to the heavy equipment operator inside the vehicle. When any personnel or object is detected, the control unit engages an alarm to warn the vehicle operator that a person or an object is approaching the hazard area. The unit also offers event and hazard recording which is important for risk assessment of the worksite.
Features:
- Sensing any objects crossing the detection zone.
- Detections of stationary and moving objects.
- Providing visual and audible warnings.
- 360 degree detection area coverage.
- Extra 180 degree detection area coverage (for non tag holders and objects)
- Getting rid of blind spot area.
- Suitable for any type of machinery.
- User defined detection range (7m to 15m)
- Event and hazard reporting.
PWAS Sensor
The PWAS Sensor is installed in the rear side of the vehicle. It will create a 180 degree detection zone and recognize any personnel or objects. The default detection range is seven meters, and can be expanded as per site’s requirements.
PWAS Tag
The PWAS control unit is placed next to the operator inside the vehicle. When the tag is detected, the control unit issues an alarm to warn the operator of the heavy equipment that a person wearing a tag is approaching the hazard area. The antenna, which is built-in inside the control unit, creates a 360 degree detection zone around the vehicle and will recognize PWAS tags up to fifteen meters. PWAS Control Unit also provides the ability for event and hazard recording. This feature will support the risk assessment process, and improve the safety in workplace.
Detection Zone
The detection zone is a pre-defined hazard area around the machinery. The PWAS Control Unit can, by default, detect tags within 7-15 meters. The detection zone can be expanded more than that, or even reduced according to site safety requirements. If within the detection zone, the system will detect +50 tags simultaneously.
PWAS Camera & Monitor
When PWAS Camera & Monitor are integrated with the Tag-Based system, this will provide greater confidence for the vehicle operators by making them aware of the personnel and property in the machinery blind zone. Cameras are mounted in the front and rear of the machinery, while the monitor is placed in the cab to provide clear vision and visual warnings. Extra cameras can be installed as well according to the site’s requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
The Combo PWAS can detect any objects, stationary or moving, that enter its detection zone. This includes personnel, vehicles, equipment, or any other obstacles that may pose a risk of collision or injury.
Integrating both functionalities enhances flexibility and ensures comprehensive coverage. Tag-based detection allows for tailored warnings for personnel wearing tags, while Non-Tag detection provides alerts for objects and individuals without tags, maximizing safety in diverse workplace environments.
Yes, the Combo PWAS is capable of effectively sensing and preventing back-over accidents by detecting objects in the path of forklifts or other vehicles, thereby reducing the risk of collisions and injuries.
Yes, one of the notable features of the Combo PWAS is its event and hazard recording capability. It records incidents detected by the system, which can later be analyzed to improve safety measures and prevent future accidents.
The Combo PWAS plays a critical role in reducing the risk of collisions and injuries by providing timely warnings and alerts to operators, facilitating enhanced situational awareness, and allowing for the implementation of preventive measures based on recorded incidents and hazards.
The Combo PWAS offers user-defined detection range settings, allowing operators to adjust the range from 7 meters to 15 meters according to the specific requirements of their worksite, ensuring optimal safety coverage.
