Advanced Microwave Engineering (AME) has launched AMESPHERE, a subscription-based safety-as-a-service solution designed to increase workplace safety and efficiency. It includes vehicle/person and vehicle/vehicle collision avoidance; real-time data collection and processing; objective and qualitative analysis of safety and efficiency, and dedicated reporting tools. It includes constant software and firmware updates, remote technical support and a multi-year subscription formula.
AMESPHERE objectively detects near misses that occur during work activities, enabling preventive action to be taken. Local Positioning System (LPS) technology detects an operator’s position relative to a vehicle. This allows the system to intervene only when the level of risk is objectively high, thereby avoiding false alarms.
The AMESPHERE system is formed of three devices interconnected via Bluetooth. It can be installed on any type of operating machine and provides a site-wide safety net. AMESPHERE KEY is the sensor at the technological basis of the whole system, detecting all data which are transferred to the AMESPHERE TABLET, which provides the user interface and connects the system to the AMESPHERE platform. AMESPHERE TAG is a wearable device worn by workers, which is detected in real-time by the AMESPHERE KEY. Using a cloud platform, the system continuously collects data, processes and analyzes them, and presents results on intuitive dashboards.
Based on the data collected, the platform derives an index of safety and operational efficiency of the work environment, termed Efficiency & Safety Indicator (ESI).
