Hit-Not Proximity Detection

Collision avoidance systems for warehouses and industry workplaces.

Facilities rarely have the same needs when it comes to forklift safety. The same can also be said when moving from one area of a facility to the next.

A dock door with constant pedestrian traffic may need a tight detection zone and an early alert. A rack-end intersection with occasional cross-traffic may need something wider, tuned to the speed vehicles travel through it. A narrow aisle where slow/stop intervention makes sense looks different from an open staging area, where the same setting would create false stops and operator frustration.

HIT-NOT's detection zones are configurable by vehicle. During installation, we walk the floor with your team and set zones based on how the space is used, not according to a generic template.

A system tuned to your floor catches more of what matters and produces fewer false alarms. That is the difference between a tool operators trust and one they learn to ignore.

Implementing new safety technology doesn’t have to be complicated.

HIT-NOT systems are engineered for fast, efficient installation, allowing equipment to be back up and running quickly. The HIT-NOT Field Generator can be mounted to nearly any piece of mobile equipment, meaning facilities can deploy protection where it’s needed most, without lengthy installs or operational headaches.

Safety should be straightforward. With HIT-NOT it is.

Rolling out collision prevention across a facility is a serious decision.

Our mobile demonstration unit allows safety and operations teams to evaluate HIT-NOT in person before it ever reaches their floor. See the system in motion, observe how detection responds, and understand how it integrates into your existing workflow — without disruption.

We ran a direct field test comparing HIT-NOT's magnetic pulse detection with RF-based ultra-wideband (UWB).

The setup: pedestrian tag positioned behind a stack of common industrial materials. Forklift approaching from the other side.

UWB system: no detection. The stack blocked the signal.

HIT-NOT: detection triggered. An alert was issued to both the operator and the pedestrian.

Same scenario. Different outcome.

These are the potential conditions your floor crew encounters every shift.

For safety-critical equipment, where the product comes from matters.

HIT-NOT is designed, assembled, and supported in the United States. Our team is the team you reach when something needs attention, not an overseas support queue, a third-party service network, or a rep who's never been inside your kind of facility.

For procurement teams and plant managers who've dealt with the alternative, this is a practical consideration.

Lead times. Replacement parts. Technical support that understands your environment. These things behave differently when the supply chain is domestic, and the people answering the phone are the people who built the system.

Made in the USA. Supported by the people who made it.

Every new HIT-NOT system includes 30 days of free Remote Event Monitoring Dashboard access.

You get a real picture of what's happening across your fleet, including: which units are generating the most detection events, which areas of your facility carry the most activity, and how that breaks down by shift.

Most facilities are surprised by what the data shows. Thirty days is usually enough to find out why.

When safety teams do walkthroughs, they're usually looking for the obvious things: blocked exits, damaged flooring, unsecured loads. Rack integrity often gets checked on a schedule, not in response to anything specific, because there's rarely anything specific to respond to. Slight impacts happen, operators move on, and the structural condition of a column or upright isn't always something that surfaces unless someone physically inspects it.

The gap isn't as much of a result of negligence as it is visibility. A pedestrian detection system protects people from moving equipment in motion. What protects the facility from the same equipment? In most operations, the honest answer is periodic inspection and well-trained operators.

HIT-NOT's Structure Monitor addresses that directly. It mounts to the structure itself, racks, columns, machinery, and facility walls, and alerts the operator before contact occurs. The same magnetic pulse technology that detects pedestrians is applied to the infrastructure around them. For facilities running high volumes of forklift traffic through dense racking environments, it closes a protection gap that doesn't appear on most safety checklists until something goes wrong.

Your people deserve protection. So does the structure holding inventory above their heads.

An alert tells the operator someone is there.

But an alert assumes the operator hears it, processes it, and reacts, all within the distance and time available.

In high-traffic environments with background noise, split-second decisions, and the physics of a loaded vehicle at speed, that assumption has limits.

HIT-NOT's optional slow and stop functionality closes that gap. When the detection zone is breached, the system can automatically reduce vehicle speed or bring it to a stop, placing less of a dependence on reaction time from the operator and pedestrians.

This isn't a failsafe for inattentive operators. It's a last line of defense for the conditions that exist on every active floor: noise, speed, distraction, and physics.

Remove reaction time from the equation with HIT-NOT.

If you're evaluating proximity detection for your facility, the hardest part usually isn't finding vendors. It's knowing what to actually ask them.

Every system on the market claims to protect workers. The real differentiators exist in how each technology performs under the specific conditions of your facility, not in a controlled demo.

Before you make a decision, get clear answers to these questions:

How does the system detect?
Does it use cameras, RF, UWB, magnetic pulse, radar, or something else? Each technology has different performance characteristics in obstructed or challenging environments. Understanding the method tells you where the system will perform well and where it may have limitations.

What happens when the path between the equipment and the pedestrian is obstructed?
Racks, loads, walls, and blind corners are everyday realities in most facilities. Ask specifically how the system behaves when there's something in the way, not just in open-floor conditions.

Who gets alerted, and how?
Does the alert reach the operator, the pedestrian, or both? What form does that alert take — visual, audible, haptic? How much reaction time does it realistically provide at typical operating speeds?

What are the environmental limitations?
Ask about performance in the specific conditions of your facility: metal infrastructure, dust, variable lighting, temperature swings, or high-noise environments. Every technology has a profile of where it works best.

What does the wearable or tag dependency look like?
If the system requires pedestrians to carry or wear a device, what happens if a device isn't charged, isn't worn, or fails? Is there any indication that protection is compromised?

What does implementation actually look like?
How long does installation take? What disruption should you expect? What training is required for operators and pedestrians?

What does support look like after installation?
Who do you contact when something needs attention? What are typical response times? Are replacement parts and technical support readily available?

Honest answers to these questions will tell you more about a system than any demo will.

Not every forklift impact incident makes it to the incident log.

This isn't necessarily because they're insignificant. After all, nothing major happened.

The accumulation of these events is where structural failures and equipment damage come from. Not one catastrophic instance, but a pattern of low-force contacts that nobody was tracking.

HIT-NOT's Impact Alert functionality changes that. The system monitors G-force in real time, and flags impacts based on configurable thresholds, giving safety and operations teams visibility into activity that's not always visible.

What that looks like in practice:
- Impacts above 1G are logged as a daily count per truck, so you can identify which units are generating the most contact events, and where.

- Impacts above 4G are flagged as elevated-force incidents, the type that warrants a closer look at the equipment, the area, or the operator pattern.

The data tells you what's been happening and where your facility's risk is concentrated.

If your current safety program depends on people self-reporting impacts, you could be working with incomplete information.
