Vision and Collision Avoidance

Quality Collision Prevention Systems

Collision avoidance and vision when speaking about mobile machines can be a very complex subject. For mobile machinery OEM’s, the decision on what level of autonomy is right for your machine, and your markets can be a difficult decision.

A simple 2D analog camera that provides visual feedback may be all that is needed. A complex system of cameras and other sensors might be needed for autonomous machine functions such as automated breaking or speed control. Perhaps both solutions are right for you based on market drivers for different machines and/or different markets.

Prevent Future Collisions and Damage

Performance and safety are two of the most important considerations when it comes to machine control systems. And in order to achieve optimal performance and functional safety, the right vision and collision avoidance technology for mobile machinery is essential.

Contact a Cross mobile systems integration expert to discuss your project goals, and what solution might be the best for your application.

Our experts can work with your team to develop what level of machine autonomy fits your project goals, is cost effective, and ensures that you have the right equipment, working together, to improve your machine performance, safety, and productivity.

Safety-Conscious Proximity-Monitoring Systems

Collision avoidance systems for industrial trucks and other mobile work machinery can significantly reduce the number of on-site accidents. Most collision avoidance systems operate through effective tracking systems, monitoring worker and equipment positioning. This lets the collision prevention system make sure the two never come into harmful contact with each other.

On a job-site with heavy mobile machinery, it’s imperative to know where equipment and personnel are at any given time. And creating a machine monitoring system through integrated collision avoidance is a reliable means of achieving that monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

A mobile machine using collision avoidance technology means it uses multiple sensors and other detection equipment to notify the machine operator with information about the environment in proximity to the machine. This environment could include workers, other machines, or natural obstacles.

According to many studies, work vehicles with collision avoidance tech are involved in fewer on-site accidents, leading to a reduction in injury payments as well as less unplanned downtime. These systems make for a safer, more efficient work environment while also protecting operators, workers, and other machinery.

A collision avoidance system calibrated to the needs of your unique work machine can be extremely effective. Reports of on-site accidents are greatly reduced along with the potential for worker injury and damage to equipment.

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
