Proven Technology for Hazardous Work Environments

HITNOT®, originally developed as HazardAvert® , was created to save lives in dangerous conditions like the underground mining industry. Approved by MSHA in 2005, the system uses low-frequency magnetic fields that can pass through walls and structures, making it highly reliable even in blind spots. It ensures safety even when you or the forklift operator can’t see each other.

Advantages of HITNOT® Over RFID Systems

HITNOT® is more precise than RFID systems, using a stable magnetic field marker that eliminates multi-path problems. It allows multiple machines and pedestrians to work in the same area safely and efficiently, providing reliable alerts without interference.

HITNOT® for Workplace Safety

In your workplace, HITNOT® can detect and prevent injury to people, mobile equipment, plants, and machinery. Its versatile technology makes it ideal for collision avoidance and pedestrian monitoring.

Intuitive Operation and Enhanced Detection

The HITNOT® system uses pulsed magnetic fields to travel through walls, racks, and other blind corner obstructions, avoiding the interference that other radio signal-based solutions face. Key features include:

360-Degree Protection Zone

Ensures safety around pedestrians, mobile equipment, and structures.

Clear Warnings

Provides audible and visual warnings to both operators and pedestrians.

Adjustable Detection Zones

Includes warning and danger zones that can be easily customized via a handheld device.

Failsafe Features

Built-in mechanisms ensure the hardware is functioning properly, with alerts for any malfunctions.

HITNOT® Proximity Monitoring System

The HITNOT® Proximity Monitoring System offers advanced warehouse and pedestrian monitoring using magnetic field technology. It provides individual, unmistakable warnings to both pedestrians and forklift operators when in close proximity to each other or machinery.

Built-In Remote Monitoring and Alerts

  • Personal Alarm Devices (PADs): Active status indicated every 15 seconds via a flashing light and reported to the cloud for data collection.

  • Low Battery Alerts: Distinct warnings for low battery, with notifications sent to the cloud.

  • Reliable Handshakes: Multiple, timed handshakes between the system components eliminate false alerts, ensuring reliable detection.

Expandable and Adaptable Solutions

  • Magnetic Field Generators (MFGs) and Personal Alarm Devices (PADs) for unmatched pedestrian detection and collision avoidance.

  • Silencing Solutions: Automatically disable detection when vehicles are passing through protected areas.

  • Remote Event Monitoring: Cloud-based reporting for all proximity events.

  • Access Control Solutions: Prevents unauthorized personnel or vehicles from entering protected areas.

  • Area Control Solutions: Ideal for congested areas and intersections.

  • Structure Monitoring: Alerts operators when approaching hazardous structures.

  • Test Stations: For verifying functionality of PADs and MFGs before use.

Why Choose HIT-NOT®?

HIT-NOT® has led the way in the development of proximity detection systems for materials handling. It’s Patented Technology was originally developed as HazardAvert® for the harsh and dangerous conditions of the underground mining industry, the first system approved by MSHA in 2005. Both have been saving lives and preventing injuries for years.

Proven through years of global deployment into many industries such as Automotive, Steel, Paper, Glass, Building Materials, Chemical, Oil & Gas, Warehousing, Ports, and More.

Patented Pulsed Magnetic Field Technology:

  • Penetrates or “sees” through walls, racks, structures and other blind corner obstructions

  • No Multi-Path – Reflections common with Traditional RF Ranging Technologies or Effects from Environmental Conditions

  • Precise detection boundaries encircle the equipment

  • Works with your back turned! Person’s Body does not alter detection ranges

  • Before a decision is made that a PAD or CAM is entering or exiting a detection zone, the system requires multiple confirmations.

  • PRECISE and CLEAR Audible and Visual alerts to both the Vehicle Operator and Pedestrians

  • Reliable Products with long design life and low failure rate.

Key Implementation Features:

  • Compact Magnetic Field Generator Designed to be effective in industrial environments for Pedestrian Detection and Collision Avoidance.

  • Generator works on all types of mobile equipment; simple installation, only connection is power.

  • No Calibration Required.

  • Personal Alarm Devices (PAD) are worn by personnel at the belt, on a hat, or in a vest.

  • 100% of all Personal Alarm Devices (PADs) and Magnetic Field Generators (MFGs) are functionally tested before shipment.

Key Operation Features:

  • Patented Pulsed Magnetic Fields see through walls, racks, and other blind corner obstructions without multi-path or reflections common with RFID solutions.

  • Precise 360 degree protection zone around pedestrians, mobile equipment, and structures.

  • Clear, simultaneous audible and visual warnings to both operator and pedestrian (or both operators for collision avoidance).

  • 2 Distinct Detection Zones : Warning and Danger, Warning Zones up to 70’

  • Detection Ranges can easily be adjusted.

Designed-in Failsafe features:

  • HIT- NOT® Engineers have taken measures making it very unlikely that the hardware would be used in a failed condition.

  • Generators have a built-in relay, alerting the operator and others if the unit ceases to function properly.

  • Personnel Alarm Devices provide active status indication every 15 seconds.

  • When a Personnel Alarm Device (PAD) has a low battery, the user is provided a distinct warning.

  • Multiple, exact timed handshakes built into system, eliminating nuisance alerts, providing reliable alerts only when there is a danger.

Robust Architecture for Large, Congested Deployments:

The HIT-NOT® System has no limit on the number of PADs or Generators that may be operated within facility.

  • Any number of PADs can be used within a facility with no conflicts. Each pedestrian will be individually warned about any threat to themselves, as if no other PADs were in the facility.

  • Multiple vehicles can be operated within a work area without conflict. However, if more than five fork trucks are within 50 feet of a PAD, warnings to the fork truck operators may begin to delay.

  • The number of PADs in a detection zone has no effect on the size and shape of the zone, and has no effect on the reaction time of the system.

HIT-NOT® maintains the corporate strategy of maintaining component compatible across all product offerings, allowing for adoption of more features at a later time. The range of all components are adjustable to meet the demands of your application
