What is Safety Shield?

Safety Shield is an AI-powered pedestrian detection system designed to reduce the risk of people being struck by mobile plant. Already gaining traction in the civil, mining, and construction industries, our system is saving lives.

Developed over the past decade specifically for high-risk industries such as construction, rail, mining, demolition, and waste, Safety Shield can be fitted to any type of plant and equipment.
