SharpZone™ Technology for Precise Programmable Awareness Zones
Matrix’s leading-edge SharpZone technology creates equipment-specific straight line and angled safety areas for the most effective Caution and Shutdown zones. These zones help protect miners from mobile equipment injuries and minimize nuisance warningsor shutdown. For example:- Mobile haulage awareness zones vary based on speed and direction of travel. Higher speed means longer forward zones to allow for higher stoppage time. Mobile haulage awareness zones can “see” through curtains to help avoid worker collisions.
- Zones around CM tail automatically shrink in cutting mode and expand while tramming.
- Customized “green” zones can be generated within the awareness zones to allow operators to stand, kneel or, if appropriate, ride in safe locations without setting off a zone alert.
Forward Zones Extend as Speed Increases
As shuttle car or loader speed increases, the forward zones increase in length to accommodate the longer required stopping time.
The zones can “see” through barrier curtains which helps protect workers.
