BUTTON ### Vehicle & Pedestrian Collision Prevention. Reduce the risk of collisions between forklifts, AGVs, industrial vehicles, and pedestrians in high-traffic environments. Depending on the site, protection can combine AI cameras, active tags, local positioning, warning systems, and automatic vehicle slowdown. #### Flexible Protection Levels Choose the right level of protection for your site, risk profile, and operating environment. ### Tag-Based Protection Uses wearable or vehicle-mounted tags to identify people, equipment, and proximity events with high precision. Best suited to sites that need reliable tracking, access control, or collision prevention across defined operating zones.   BUTTON ### AI Camera-Based Protection Uses intelligent vision systems to detect people, vehicles, and hazardous interactions without requiring every individual to carry a tag. Useful for sites that want flexible coverage with minimal changes to worker routines or existing equipment.   BUTTON ### Integrated Protection Systems Combines multiple technologies—such as tags, cameras, sensors, tracking, and communication systems—into one connected safety infrastructure. Best for complex or high-risk environments where several hazards need to be monitored and managed together.   BUTTON BUTTON ### Smart Traffic & Zone Control. Manage how vehicles move through higher-risk areas without relying only on signage or operator judgment. Zone-based controls can automatically adjust speed, access rules, and operating behaviour around intersections, crossings, loading areas, entrances, and other critical points.    #### Flexible Zone Control for Localized and Area-Wide Safety Areas #### Zoning Spot Creates a localized safety zone around a specific hazard, such as an intersection, pedestrian crossing, doorway, or blind corner. When a vehicle enters the defined area, the system can automatically apply rules such as reduced speed or warning alerts, then return to normal operation once it exits. ![infografica-zoning-spot](https://www.3fbdistribution.com/hubfs/infografica-zoning-spot.jpg "infografica-zoning-spot") ![infografica-zoning-gate-rkbegzfs4m2jjn6g8cdnc1oetb84cs1lbuk6do6ppc](https://www.3fbdistribution.com/hubfs/infografica-zoning-gate-rkbegzfs4m2jjn6g8cdnc1oetb84cs1lbuk6do6ppc.jpg "infografica-zoning-gate-rkbegzfs4m2jjn6g8cdnc1oetb84cs1lbuk6do6ppc") #### Zoning Gate Controls vehicle behaviour across a larger defined area by detecting when equipment enters or leaves through designated virtual gateways. It is useful for managing broader operational zones, such as loading areas, indoor/outdoor transitions, or sections of a facility that require different speed or access profiles.

Extend site protection to people who may not be familiar with your operating environment, including drivers, suppliers, contractors, and temporary visitors. Temporary tags, monitored safe areas, and automated alerts help integrate external personnel into the site’s existing safety system.
