en.Wedoany.com Reported - Komatsu has introduced a personnel detection system for certain crawler excavator models produced at its UK factory, which is calibrated before leaving the factory and comes with an original manufacturer's warranty.

The system is available as a factory option for models including the PC170-11, PC210-11, PC240-11, PC290-11, PC360-11, HB365-3, and PC490-11.

Integrated with the KomVision camera system and onboard control system, the system uses a display and alarm device in the cab to immediately issue visual and audible alerts when a person enters a designated danger zone around the machine.

According to Komatsu, the system "has been tested under normal conditions on European construction sites, achieving extremely high detection accuracy and reliable operation across a variety of high-visibility and protective clothing colors."

James Venerus, General Manager of Product Marketing at Komatsu Europe, stated: "At Komatsu, safety is non-negotiable. The collaboration with Safety Shield Global is a significant step forward in providing integrated solutions that enhance safety and deliver greater peace of mind to our customers."

The software, specifically designed for heavy machinery operations, incorporates Komatsu's technical architecture to detect personnel around the machine in real time.

Jonathan Guest, CEO of Safety Shield Global, said that this partnership marks an important milestone for the industrial environment safety solutions provider.

Jonathan Guest commented: "Our mission has always been to eliminate fatalities and serious injuries in environments where people and heavy machinery work together. Komatsu shares these values, and we are delighted to deepen our collaboration and grateful for their trust in our technology."

As a factory-installed solution, the system benefits from factory integration, calibration, and validation, and is backed by Komatsu's warranty and technical support, eliminating the need for complex on-site adjustments.

Venerus added: "By integrating the system at the manufacturing stage, we ensure that customers receive a trusted solution whose performance and durability fully meet the machine's expectations."
