Commendation for object detection system
The Preview object detection system has received a special commendation at the SED 2004 Awards for Excellence for no operated plant and support products.
The PreView features patented pulsed time domain radar which, unlike conventional radar systems, detects static as well as moving objects. These systems have already been fitted to machines for national companies in both the aggregate and waste industries and are currently being installed to seven new dump tricks for use in open cast coal miming.
Contract journal said:” The judges felt that the safety aspects of Spillard’s radar system made it worthy of a mention-especially its ability to ‘see’ into the gap in an articulated machine”.
“What held it back from making the shortlist-or even possibly winning-was the uncertainty of how the HSE would view the system”.
Spillard Safety Systems Managing Director Peter Spillard said: “Our radar is an enhancement to our existing All Round Vision package.
Even the most diligent drivers can be involved in accidents”.
