A UK FIRST - ONGRADE LAUNCHES SITEZONE
INSTANT Proximity warning experts, Ongrade have launched SiteZone INstant – a wireless, radio frequency identification (RFID) proximity warning system, which enables on-the-spot protection against collisions between pedestrians and vehicles, mobile equipment, or hazardous areas on any site.
Derived from the original SiteZone proximity warning system, the INstant is completely wireless, allowing for immediate use and protection without the need for a hard wired installation. Both systems use a two-way RFID warning device; the pedestrian and vehicle transmitters communicate with each other, providing a full 360-degree detection zone and the ability to see around corners. The on-board receiver detects the location of RFID tag-wearing personnel and alerts the driver and pedestrian to each other’s presence to prevent a collision between the two.
SiteZone INstant can be mounted and activated as required within a few minutes, making it ideal for short- term deployment. It can be fitted to
WAVEGUIDE'S LEDS ILLUMINATE AKW LOGISTICS WORKING
ENVIRONMENT AKW Logistics, established in Manchester in 1981, provides its blue chip and local customers with a range of distribution, warehousing and contract packing services. Its warehouse capability includes bulk, racked and contracted facilities tailored to suit the needs of specific clients. Its 500,000 sq ft of Quality BRC and Excise Approved high bay storage facility has recently had its existing lighting, which consisted of a total of 289 individual 400W metal halide, quad 80W and twin 70W neon batten units, replaced by 194 Waveguide Lighting’s Brightstar intelligent LED luminaires, which have an innovative design that provides outstanding light quality, optical distribution and energy efficiency.

delivery vehicles coming into a busy depot or construction site where the danger of reversing into a pedestrian is increased. It can also be mounted on large, mobile plant vehicles quickly, even if they are utilised on a site just for one day.
The SiteZone INstant’s applications can be extended beyond vehicular use. It can be mounted on any mobile equipment where 360 vision by the operator is not feasible.
SiteZone INstant allows for the creation of independent safety zones in any given space. If there are dangerous areas on site, such as pits, excavations or contaminated ground that pose a danger to pedestrians, a SiteZone INstant battery unit can be set up there to trigger proximity warning alarms in a set safety zone.
The SiteZone INstant has two components:
• Battery unit – which is the ‘INstant’ element is mounted magnetically on the exterior of a vehicle. It can be placed anywhere on the vehicle that requires protection and allows the collision detection zone to be set. The battery unit operates for
up to 40 hours’ continuous use on one charge.
• Instant remote display (IRD), which is inside the cab of the vehicle and alerts the operator of imminent collision by sounding an alarm.

luminaires are intelligently managed, with motion sensors that reduce the output by 80% in unoccupied areas and with ambient sensors that dynamically adjust the output in response to the ambient natural lighting levels.
The energy saving is 74%, the tangible ROI is 1171% and the payback period is 15 months. The intangible benefits of a safer and better working environment, greater efficiency and improved productivity further support the business case.
The warehouse operates 24/7, and frequently holds high value goods. The modernisation of the lighting has resulted in major operational, security and financial benefits, with the improvement in the overall brightness and uniformity of the lighting throughout the facility improves the quality of the CCTV security recordings and achieving a safer working environment for the fork lift truck drivers with better general visibility and less shadowing. The
Jason Bradley, Operations Manager, AKW Logistics, commented: “We are delighted with the Waveguide products and the service we have received. The quality of the lighting is exceptional and has benefited the whole operation. We are especially pleased with the CCTV images we are now getting. We have no hesitation recommending Waveguide Lighting to all who wish to achieve such results.”
