A Vision for Blind Spots: Leica iCON PA10 For construction sites, safety awareness is a sound investment, ensuring that everyone gets home safely. Providing better visibility, greater feedback to operators and field personnel minimizes the risk of injuries, near-misses and site shut-downs. "We aim to provide solutions that protect assets and infrastructure but most importantly allow more people to always see their families after a hard day's work," said Mullis.Ĭommitting to technology that integrates a collision-avoidance system with a personal alert solution might be the smartest investment a company can make to improve productivity and safety. The enhanced safety awareness technology from Leica Geosystems is helping to prevent incidents on construction sites. Addressing these risks constituted the primary motivation behind the development of the Leica iCON safety awareness solution portfolio. Heavy construction consistently ranks in the top three industries worldwide for serious injuries and fatalities. What about the rain? What if the rain would feel differently in our presence? What if our surrounding were aware of us?"
"We know what it means to see, hear or feel rain and then change our behaviour to dress or drive differently. "We all live through our senses", said Brad Mullis, product manager of personal alert systems at Leica Geosystems. Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, announced substantial enhancements to its modular safety awareness solutions: the Leica iCON PA10 and PA80 for construction sites.Īfter initially concentrating on pedestrians, the enhancements now include collision avoidance in hazardous conditions involving sensor-enabled machines, objects and restriction zones.Ĭonstruction sites can be dangerous: heavy traffic, large equipment, poor visibility and blind spots all create the potential for accidents on site. Leica Geosystems offers a modular safety awareness solution to increase worker safety awareness and visibility between workers and machine operators to prevent machine-to-people, machine-to-machine and machine-to-objects collisions.
