FieldSense
®
INCREASE EMPLOYEE AWARENESS IN DYNAMIC OPERATING ENVIRONMENTS.
iW.FieldSense is a robust proximity notification system designed to alert pedestrians and lift truck operators when they come within a predefined distance of properly equipped trucks and pedestrians. The system can also alert vehicle operators to the proximity of structural elements in a facility.

iW.FieldSense Advantage
Tailored to
Your Application
Configurable fields
and ranges allow you
to customize the system
to your operators, applications, and facility layout.
360°
Detection
Provides a solution
for free and dynamic environments that follows trucks and personnel around for greater security and flexibility.
Magnetic Field
Generation
Allows the system to see through and around most objects—including racking and corners—for exceptional performance in virtually any environment, including cold storage.
Easy
Installation
Requires little or no major infrastructure changes or hardware and software.
Vehicle
Compatibility
Allows the system to be added to virtually any make and model of forklift—or other vehicle—for use across your entire fleet.
HOW IT WORKS
NOTIFICATION
Magnetic Field Generation (MFG) Technology
ALERT
MFG
sends pings
Notification Module
Lights and sounds
PND
detects
pings
MFG
receives echo
PND echos back to MFG
PND determines field intensity for notification or alert
- Emits low frequency pulses that create an adjustable field around each piece of mobile equipment.
- If the system detects another properly equipped vehicle or person within its range, it alerts both parties with an audible and visual notification.
SILENT
Unlike other proximity notification solutions, MFG pulses can pass through most obstructions, allowing the technology to see through walls and around corners.
NOTE: This example shown is truck to pedestrian awareness. Truck to truck and truck to facility awareness follow a similar process with the MFG communicating to another MFG device (truck to truck) or the Structure Monitor option (truck to facility).
In order for the system to work, vehicles, operators, and pedestrians need to be equipped with specific iW.FieldSense components:
Primary Components

Notification Module (NM) lights and sounds when a Pedestrian Notification Device (PND), another vehicle, or a protected structure enters the truck’s Notification Zone. Light and sound intensify when the Alert Zone is breached.
Cab Silencer creates a silent zone in and around the vehicle cabin.
Facility-mounted magnets allow the system to alert truck operators to the proximity of structural elements.
Pedestrian Notification Device (PND) lights and sounds when a pedestrian enters a truck’s Notification Zone.

Help Limit Pedestrian Access to Designated Areas
Alert Operators to Properly Equipped Stationary Structures:
CREATE
SILENT ZONES
PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ALERTS, HELP SUPPORT VEHICLE ACCESS AND ADJUST ZONE SIZES
Lights and alarms can be activated when when equipped vehicles are in near proximity. Door locks and gates can be activated and/or deactivated when PNDs are in close proximity, to allow access to high traffic areas. Zone sizes can also be shrunk in areas of high visibility to avoid constant alerts.
Help Limit Pedestrian Access to Designated Areas
Certain gates and doors can be controlled, allowing only PND-equipped personnel to enter.
ALERT OPERATORS TO STATIONARY STRUCTURES
Certain structures can be tagged to alert operators when their truck nears a protected structure.
CREATE SILENT ZONES
Alerts can be silenced to minimize distractions and enhance productivity in certain locations and applications.

Alert Zone
Can help activate alarms, lights and/or control access to doors/gates when trucks or pedestrians enter a controlled area.
- Use in alerting pedestrians that a properly equipped truck is in its proximity.
Shaded area represents where two devices are daisy chained for longer lengths
Alert Zone
Can shrink a truck's zone size upon entry to avoid constant alerts.
- Use in high visibility areas where trucks are in close proximity.
Structure Awareness
Can alert operator when truck nears a protected structure.
- Use in warehouse environments with features such as steel beams, racks, or low doorways.
Area Access Control Zone
Can help control certain gates/doors, allowing only PND-equipped personnel to enter.
- Use in break room/floor entry areas, ensuring all employees are covered by the system in designated areas.
Silent Zone
Can silence alerts in zones up to 160’ long and 30’ wide.
- Use in larger, high visibility spaces or protected work areas.
Silent Zone
Creates an elliptically shaped silent zone up to 22’ long by 18’ wide.
- Use in office spaces or smaller, protected work areas.
