Orbit's BodyGuard proximity detection and warning system does not rely on a fixed proximity detection point between forklift and a detector (as the light beam shown on your site). BodyGuard proximity detection and warning system will detect personnel in close proximity in almost any area as long as they wear the TAG unit. The system will operate in poor visibility areas such as dusty, smoky, dirty environments. It is not prone to false alarm from Ultra sonic noise produced by industrial equipment or infra-red interference and blocking from sunlight etc.
BodyGuard proximity detection and warning system is very flexible. It is easy to set up specific alarms and proximity distances between each object. The system "knows" what type of object it is close to and can respond accordingly.
The history log stored in the BodyGuard proximity detection and warning devices can be used as a pro-active risk reduction tool by allowing any higher collision risk areas to be identified (bunching of proximity detection events over time or by type of object detected or specific operator).

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
