SEEN Safety is a New Zealand company that specialises in making sensors to protect pedestrian workers from heavy mobile equipment.

Our sensors prevent accidents by detecting workers in critical risk zones around heavy mobile equipment. SEEN’s unique detection technology not only warns of immediate danger, it also quantifies the scale of the problem and actively improves the behaviour of pedestrians and drivers in critical risk areas.

Some of our customers have seen a greater than 50% reduction of the number of people/machine interactions in critical risk zones in less than 3 weeks.

SEEN's IRIS 860 LIDAR sensor transforms the common high visibility safety vest into part of an active pedestrian detection system for forklifts and other mobile machinery. With increasingly complex workplace environments demanding strict health and safety practices, you need a simple and reliable pedestrian detection system to prevent collisions and promote safe behavior.

A BETTER WAY TO AVOID WORKPLACE COLLISIONS: Seen's technology provides simple, effective, and affordable solution to a major industry problem. Current solutions are expensive, and/or difficult to implement and/or get in the way of operations. Our sensors detect standard high-vis vests so the system conforms to the user, not the other way round. This addresses the biggest cause of system failure, lack of adoption. Simple to implement, very effective, affordable enough to enable fleet-wide adoption.

INDUSTRIES WE WORK WITH: Construction, Maritime, Utilities, Supermarkets, Materials Handling, Warehousing, Logistics, Freight, Farming, Horticulture, Manufacturing, Steel, Concrete, Paper & Forest Products, Oil & Energy, Transportation, Mining & Metals, Business Supplies

DIFFERENT TYPES OF MACHINERY: Seen IRIS 860 sensors are suitable for use on all types of mobile machinery, including forklifts, telehandlers, mobile cranes, container handlers, wheeled loaders, rollers, graders, bobcats, and bulldozers.
