Forklift-pedestrian collisions are the leading cause of serious workplace injuries in warehouse environments. SensorZone proximity warning systems create an intelligent safety zone around every forklift, reach truck, and powered industrial vehicle in your warehouse.
Request a Warehouse Safety AssessmentNarrow aisles, high racking that obstructs sight lines, fast-paced pick-and-pack operations, and mixed pedestrian-vehicle traffic create persistent collision risks that mirrors, beacons, and floor markings alone cannot eliminate.
T-junctions and cross-aisles where pedestrians and forklifts meet without line of sight. Proximity Warning Core's 360-degree detection alerts the operator to workers approaching from any direction, even around blind corners and through racking.
High-traffic zones where forklifts operate alongside delivery drivers, truck loaders, and warehouse staff. Vision360 cameras detect all people approaching the area without requiring tags, providing coverage for visiting drivers.
Even well-marked walkways are frequently crossed by forklifts or breached by inattentive workers. SensorZone geofencing alerts notify safety managers in real time when vehicles enter pedestrian-only zones.
Configurable zones as narrow as 1 metre for compact indoor environments.
No GPS dependency. RFID tag detection works perfectly inside any building.
Installs on counterbalance, reach trucks, pallet trucks, and any other powered industrial truck.
SensorZone RFID tags are detected in three-dimensional space around the antenna. While the system is optimized for ground-level pedestrian detection, the configurable zone settings allow adjustment for multi-level environments. Our engineering team can advise on antenna placement for mezzanine and multi-story warehouse layouts.
Proximity Warning Core's configurable detection zones allow you to fine-tune the alert radius per vehicle. In narrow-aisle warehouses, zones can be set as tight as one metre to minimize nuisance alarms while still providing critical protection. The triple-alert system ensures that genuine risks are never ignored.
Our engineers will assess your warehouse layout, identify the highest-risk areas, and recommend the right SensorZone configuration for your forklift fleet.
Book Your Free AssessmentSensorZone uses RFID tag-based technology to create a configurable detection zone around each forklift. Unlike cameras, mirrors, or floor markings, RFID detection works through racking, pallets, and other physical obstructions that block line of sight. When a tagged worker enters a forklift's detection zone, three things happen simultaneously.
The forklift operator receives an audible alarm and a visual warning on the in-cab display, showing the direction and proximity of the detected worker. This gives the operator time to slow down, stop, or change direction.
The pedestrian worker's personal RFID tag vibrates and sounds an audible warning. This is critical because it means the worker is alerted even if they are distracted, wearing ear protection, or facing away from the approaching forklift.
Every proximity event is automatically recorded and transmitted to the Insights Platform. Safety managers can review heat maps, identify repeat offenders, and track whether near-miss frequency is trending up or down over time.
Every proximity event in your warehouse is logged and transmitted to the SensorZone Insights Platform. This cloud-based dashboard transforms raw detection data into intelligence that helps you prevent incidents and demonstrate continuous improvement to auditors and stakeholders.
Visualise exactly where near-miss events concentrate across your facility. Identify high-risk intersections, pinch points near loading bays, and blind spots caused by racking layouts.
Insights Platform data reveals whether risk patterns differ between shifts. Target training and intervention at the times and teams that need it most.
Define virtual pedestrian-only and vehicle-only zones on your warehouse floor plan. Receive instant alerts when a forklift enters a walkway or a worker steps into a traffic lane.
Export proximity event data, trend analyses, and heat map summaries for OSHA compliance audits, insurance reviews, and board-level safety reporting.

Proximity Warning Core installs in under one hour per forklift with no structural modifications to the vehicle. Most warehouse fleets can be fully equipped within a single day. Installation is carried out by SensorZone engineers who configure the detection zones specifically for your warehouse layout.
No. SensorZone RFID personnel tags have a battery life of over three years and require no charging, no maintenance, and no daily management. Tags are lightweight enough to clip to hard hats, lanyards, or ID holders. This eliminates the operational overhead associated with rechargeable tag systems.
The Insights Platform tracks near-miss frequency over time, giving you a clear, data-driven measure of safety improvement. Many warehouse operators see a measurable reduction in proximity events within the first month of deployment. Beyond incident prevention, the system reduces costs associated with vehicle damage, workers' compensation claims, lost productivity, and regulatory penalties.
