Access Control Group Launches "AWARE" Collision Avoidance System
Access Control Group Launches "AWARE". A Collision Avoidance System designed to offer a comprehensive safety solution to protect both pedestrians and equipment in industries such as material handling, construction, maritime and distribution centers.
Chaotic work environments, distracted workers and equipment zooming through facilities such as distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, construction sites or ports can cause collision risks. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the construction industry is responsible for more than 21% of all worker deaths in the U.S. while at the same time OSHA estimates forklifts cause 34,900 accidents that result in serious injury each year, costing a company from $38,000 to $150,000 for a single incident.
Many such accidents could be avoided with the right equipment and training.
Scalable Telematics provider Access Control Group is launching a proximity warning system to help companies protect their employees' safety: AWARE, an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) based proximity system that measures distance between moving objects and alerts both operators and pedestrians of approaching equipment. Additionally, UWB technology allows AWARE to penetrate most obstacles and operate around blind corners.
Aware was designed to operate for the safety of pedestrians and mobile assets in material handling, construction, maritime and distribution center industries. But unlike other collision avoidance systems, AWARE is an option you can add to our scalable telematics solution "Advanced" to avoid managing multiple gadgets and higher costs, while at the same time being able to track, measure and report on equipment damage, productivity and safety issues while additionally monitoring battery and fuel levels.
How AWARE works
When a wearable tag or an equipment comes in the range of another equipment, an audio visual alarm indicator warns the operator. AWARE offers 2 settings, Alert and Alarm. After the initial 30 minute installation, the range settings can be adjusted from the system or the cloud to meet any specific requirements.
Wearable tag is operated by a rechargeable battery that can last up to three weeks. Recharging can be done by simply placing the tag on a wireless charger.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
