Active RFID proximity warning systems uses two kinds of tags - active and passive tags. Find out why our rechargeable active RFID tags are an imperative business decision, and can save your company time and money.
The ZoneSafe system uses Rechargeable Active RFID tags and 'tagging technology'. This offers a number of benefits and advantages over other proximity warning systems.
ZoneSafe provides 'proximity warning alert systems'. The system alerts pedestrians and drivers of industrial vehicles when they are dangerously close to each other.
As the HSE (Health and Safety Executive) have demonstrated, the second largest cause of fatal injuries in Britain are from pedestrians being struck by a moving vehicle. See the statistic here)
This is a serious issue. ZoneSafe is the safest way to protect your staff - with their Active RFID.
What is active RFID?There are two kinds of tags - active and passive tags.
Active tags have a transmitter and their own power source - usually a battery. This battery is used to run the microchip and its circuitry to send a signal to a reader. This is similar to the way a mobile phone transmits to a phone mast.
Passive tags don't have a battery. They draw power from a reader, that has sent electromagnetic waves that makes a current in the tag's antenna.
Why don't we just use passive tags?Passive tags are not 100% reliable - which is not worth the risk when you are protecting people.
Here is an example where passive tags are used:
In retail shops, passive tags are attached to garments/products, and readers are placed in the doorway - to stop shoplifting.
Passive tags send out a signal and will hopefully pick up the tag as it leaves the store (where the reader is situated). Where most of the garments/objects are recovered with the passive tags and reader, some will just NOT be picked up.
Where a shop owner may not mind a 10% loss of goods, a 10% LOSS OF LIFE is not acceptable.
Active tags are so accurate that they will not fail.
DETECT PEOPLE, PROTECT LIVES.
Our ZoneSafe technology provides fast, reliable and accurate data exchange between tags and readers without any limitation on the number of tags in operation. This is essential for a safety warning system that protects pedestrians working in close proximity to moving vehicles.

Physical segregation of workplace vehicles and pedestrian workers is the best and safest way to prevent collision accidents. However, physical segregation is not always achievable due to site layout, pedestrian crossings and worksite operations. ZoneSafe’s activated visual warnings and zone control provide...
The Vehicle to Vehicle system offers reliable long-range detection to reduce the risk of impacts and collisions between industrial vehicles used in the workplace.
The system has two configurable warning zones: an outer pre-warning zone and an inner warning zone.

Vehicles moving bulky loads feature prominently in workplace accidents. They have a far greater risk of collision because the driver’s vision can be limited due to carrying large loads, driving around blind corners or even just carrying out specific manoeuvres. The risk of accidental collision is significa...
Vehicles moving bulky loads that work closely with pedestrians feature prominently in workplace accidents. They have a far greater risk of collision because the driver’s vision can be impaired due to carrying large loads, the vehicle can be large and have many blind spots, or even have moving parts such as...

No matter what type of environment, work sites often require vehicle access control within the site. Restricting access to authorised vehicles will support security, prevent loss or damage and reduce the risk of personal injury to staff and visitors. The ZoneSafe Vehicle Access Control System provides a ha...
