ECHO_GUARD

Product catalog summary
Overview:
SSZ® ECHO GUARD is an advanced collision detection system designed to enhance safety in environments with limited visibility. It uses low-frequency radio signals to position workers around vehicles, providing real-time alerts to drivers about approaching personnel.
Key Features:
  • Monitors vehicle surroundings and warns of personnel proximity using color-coded displays and acoustic signals.
  • Detects personnel with transmitters within 18 meters in warehouses and 30 meters in open spaces.
  • Utilizes FPGA programmable logic for rapid signal processing and interference recognition.
System Components:
  • Personal Transmitter: Transmits long-wave analogue radio signals, offering superior coverage and interference resistance. Battery-powered with up to 22 hours of operation.
  • Directional Detector: Detects signals from transmitters and identifies their direction using ferrite antennas.
  • Display Terminal: Mounted in vehicle cockpits, displaying personnel proximity and direction. Supports event logging and optional Wi-Fi for data transmission.
Applications:
  • Ideal for environments with significant logistic operations, such as manufacturing, warehousing, and transportation zones.
  • Applicable to various vehicles including forklifts, excavators, loaders, and cranes.
Benefits:
  • Enhances safety by minimizing collision risks and reducing accident-related costs.
  • Improves occupational health and safety by decreasing transportation-related accidents.
  • Integrates with higher-level logistics systems for comprehensive safety management.
Implementation:
  • User-friendly configuration with CAN bus compatibility.
  • Lightweight and comfortable transmitter design.
Principle of Operation:
  • Utilizes low-frequency radio signals for wireless positioning in noisy environments, providing information on worker presence and direction within several meters.
  • Employs FPGA programmable logic for rapid signal processing and visualization on the driver's display terminal.
  • Recognizes radio interference and adapts to varying conditions to maintain performance.
Operational Steps:
  1. Recognition of employee presence.
  2. Employee enters hazardous area.
  3. Direct collision hazard alert.
Compliance:
Aligns with Directive 89/391/EEC, emphasizing employer responsibility for worker safety and health.
Conclusion:
SSZ® ECHO GUARD is a crucial tool for improving safety in industrial environments, offering early warnings and reducing the risk of machine-man collisions. It aligns with occupational health and safety directives, ensuring a safer workplace for all employees.

PrIncIPLe Of OPerATIOn SSZ® ECHO GUARD is optimised for wireless positioning of workers in noisy and difficult radio communication environments. Low frequency radio signals have better penetration and diffraction properties and as such they are able to bend around the human body as well as other obstacles. Depending on local conditions, the system offers information about the presence and direction of an approaching worker within the radius of several to several dozen metres from a detector equipped vehicle or machine. Leveraging state of the art FPGA programmable logic solutions, SSZ® ECHO GUARD...
