Connectivity hardware, including GPS, 4G and Wi-Fi antennae, was installed discreetly to preserve a clean cab environment. Cable routing also presented a challenge due to the fine headlining and restricted access pathways. To ensure a durable and professional finish, multiple interior panels were removed so cabling could be run neatly and safely, minimising exposure and improving long-term serviceability.<\/p>\n<p>Externally, camera placement was optimised for detection performance. Two side cameras were mounted high using specially designed brackets positioned beneath existing floodlights, providing an improved vantage point for pedestrian detection.

With heavy forklift movement and multiple high\u2011risk pedestrian zones, we needed a robust solution that would enhance visibility, reduce blind\u2011spot hazards, and support our wider commitment to safe, efficient operations.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The integrated AI\u2011driven camera setup, combined with real\u2011time driver alerts and high\u2011quality video recording, has significantly improved how our operators manage pedestrian proximity, particularly around busy production outputs, stacked materials, and restricted\u2011visibility areas. The external cameras reliably detect pedestrians in high\u2011risk spaces, while the internal monitoring system helps reinforce positive driver behaviours and supports targeted coaching where needed.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The installation quality was exceptional. Despite space limitations in the vehicle cab and challenging cable\u2011routing pathways, the TrafficAngel team delivered a clean, professional fit with optimised camera placement, precise ECU and DVR mounting, and secure antenna positioning. Their attention to detail resulted in a reliable, durable system that integrates seamlessly with our daily operations.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Since implementation, we have seen enhanced driver confidence, improved pedestrian safety, and clearer visibility around heavy loads and blind spots. The recorded footage has already proven valuable for incident review, training, and continuous improvement. The PlantShield 360 System has become a key part of our risk\u2011reduction strategy and is a solution we would strongly recommend to any high\u2011activity industrial operation looking to strengthen its safety performance.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;The PlantShield 360 and HFR camera system have transformed safety on our site. The AI-driven pedestrian detection, clear driver alerts, and high-quality video recording have noticeably improved visibility around blind spots and high-risk areas. Installation was exceptionally professional, and the system integrates seamlessly with our daily operations.
