Hosted by local distributor, Madison Technologies, Annual Summit recognises top performing partners for industrial wireless network company, Rajant Corporation. Intelligent positioning solutions provider, Aptella was awarded ‘Fastest Growing New Partner’ at the Australian Rajant Partners Summit held in Brisbane in November. The event, hosted by Rajant’s Australasian distributor Madison Technologies, was a chance for Rajant to recognise contributions by its partners over the year. “We are honoured to have received this award as the fastest growing new partner,” said Andrew Granger, Mining Business Executive Manager at Aptella. “Our success with this solution is thanks to the wonderful support we have received by the teams at both Madison Technologies and Rajant, who have worked alongside us at every stage
Wearable mobile mapping systems to be sold and supported throughout Australia and New Zealand by positioning solutions provider, Aptella. Aptella announces a distribution agreement with German-based NavVis, a leading developer of mobile mapping reality capture solutions. Under the agreement, Aptella will sell and support the NavVis VLX solution, a wearable scanning system that enables fast data capture of complex structures using advanced Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) technology. “NavVis is highly regarded as a global leader in mobile mapping and SLAM technology,” said Martin Nix, Aptella CEO. “We look forward to introducing the NavVis VLX wearable mobile mapping system to our customers – it is a dynamic solution that makes light work of modelling large, complex structures in
Proximity systems: a safer option Any worksite which requires the use of heavy machinery to function will have safety concerns, and warehouses are no different. The combination of large heavy loads, heavy machinery, and pedestrian workers can sometimes prove to be a dangerous mix. While warehouses generally have strict safety guidelines, they are reliant on 100% worker compliance, and consequently can be subject to human error. Aptella are offering a viable solution to warehousing incidents in the form of proximity systems. Our safety systems work in a warehousing context by attaching sensors to both forklifts and the helmets of pedestrian workers. These sensors operate on the same RF frequency and essentially create a ‘bubble’ around themselves. If any
Proximity detection systems: the next step in rail work safety Rail work can often be fraught with potential safety hazards. Jobs typically take place in confined corridors, meaning space is limited and safety standards can be difficult to effectively maintain. Even small-scale projects often require multiple machines and numerous workers, all attempting to maintain safe distances in a very confined space. The potential for hazards is only compounded on bigger projects with more contractors. Aptella will offers a simple and effective solution to these safety risks, in the form of the Presien Blindsight systems. Proximity systems like Presien Blindsight are a simple technology that can effectively eliminate safety concerns while working in rail corridors. The system works by
Intelligent positioning solutions provider Aptella to distribute Presien’s Blindsight AI safety system throughout Australia and New Zealand Presien and Aptella today announced a distribution agreement to expand access and implementation of Blindsight, the simple, pre-trained AI safety system for heavy industry. By helping plant operators prevent collisions with real-time alerts and comprehensive safety reporting, Blindsight effortlessly protects workers in the most dynamic industrial environments. Unlike other alert systems and safety solutions, Blindsight’s integrated camera and AI software sees, understands, and alerts operators to potential hazards. The Blindsight system can be installed on mobile plant or fixed infrastructure, anywhere. “We developed Blindsight because we wanted to create a world where every worker is safe, and every employer is successful,”
How do collision avoidance systems work? Safety is a massive priority in the civil construction industry, and justifiably so. Ensuring that all on-site workers make it home safely is no small matter though, and there are a variety of safety systems and methods used by sites throughout Australia. Many of these systems are reliant on person-to-person communication though, which can be subject to human error. Proximity systems are a technology specifically developed to ensure the highest level of safety by utilising a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence (AI). Aptella will soon be offering the Presien Blindsight system, a proximity system on the absolute cutting edge of the industry. By fitting a piece of machinery with multiple sensors,
Get to know construction set out Using string lines to mark out a job site has long been the only method for tradespeople everywhere. Despite the construction industry’s dependence on them, string lines are far from the perfect system. A measurement error while using string lines can mean wasted time and money re-doing the job. Aptella can provide a long-term solution to this problem. If you’re working on a job site withthree stories or more or if you’ve got a permanent crane on site, construction set out is the better solution for you. Construction site technology completely replaces string lines and is millimetre accurate, meaning that you can avoid having to deal with the consequences of measurement errors.
Proximity systems: the future of building safety Proximity systems are comprehensive systems designed to elevate safety standards across the construction industry. They work by utilising various technologies to complement existing safety practices and standards. Rather than relying on machine operators and workers to abide by adequate safety precautions 100% of the time, proximity systems act as an alert system in the event of a possible collision or incident. Proximity detection systems work by using sensors, which are attached to all machines and workers helmets on site. These sensors effectively create a three-dimensional ‘bubble’ around each person and piece of equipment. When any vehicles come within a specified radius of workers or other vehicles, all parties are notified. This
