Safer construction sites

By MJ Woof May 30, 2024 Read time: 1 min

Leica Geosystems is offering a new system that is said to help boost safety for personnel on construction sites. The innovative PA10 system utilises new technology to identify when personnel may be walking around a jobsite. The system then alerts machine operators to the presence as well as the location of construction personnel. At the same time, the system will warn any personnel walking around a site that construction machines are operating in the immediate vicinity.

Thomas Bonvalot of Leica Geosystems explained, “It’s a personnel awareness system. Everybody onsite will know where a machine is working and the machine operator will know there is a pedestrian.”
