New safety innovations on show at SIL 2024
Advanced Microwave Engineering ( AME ), a provider of occupational safety technology , showcased its latest advancements at SIL Barcelona in Spain ( 5-7 June 2024 ). AME ’ s latest offerings , Amesphere Vista and Amesphere One , reinforce its commitment to providing active safety solutions .
AME CEO , Filippo Bonifacio , said : “ We were excited to connect with industry leaders and present our latest safety innovations at SIL Barcelona . In Spain , a profound emphasis is placed on preemptive safety protocols , a paradigm that has catalysed our substantial growth trajectory over the years . Our expertise in technology plays a key role in strengthening safety standards for vehicles and operators , and we are enthusiastic about driving its development in the Spanish market .”
AME offers a comprehensive safety ecosystem designed to create a safer working environment inside complex industrial settings . At its core is Amesphere Alpha , the flagship product , offering real-time plant safety monitoring through wearable tags and in-vehicle sensors . These sensors transmit pedestrian locations to a designated driver ’ s tablet , known as the ‘ Amesphere tablet .’ The data generated is then processed through the cloud-based Amesphere platform , where advanced algorithms analyse it to produce the Efficiency Safety Indicator ( ESI ). This metric offers insights into both safety and operational efficiency , providing a holistic view of workplace safety .
AME recently expanded the Amesphere ecosystem with two additions :
■ Amesphere Vista : This solution enhances the existing Local Positioning System ( LPS ) functionality of Amesphere by utilising integrated AI cameras for precise detection of pedestrians , regardless of whether they are wearing tags .
■ Amesphere One : This is designed specifically for smaller vehicles and offers a compact , all-in-one sensor with customisable detection zones for advanced collision avoidance .
“ Amesphere Vista and Amesphere One further strengthen our vision to provide comprehensive safety solutions across industries . Our solutions are contemporary and is designed to help users to continuously analyse data using algorithms to assess risks , trends and insights and transform raw data into actionable insights . With our latest offering , we hope to help businesses to take proactive steps towards a safer and more efficient workplace ,” added Bonifacio .
