With over 40 years of experience delivering safety through Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) auto braking systems, Ogden is a brand you can trust, time and time again. They fully design and manufacture everything, from their radar to the peripherals, for a dependable product. And now, Ogden has developed another construction site safety product you can rely on – the Ogden Reverse Radar.
So, what exactly is the Ogden Reverse Radar? What does it do, and what are its unique advantages? Let’s find out more about this pinnacle of site safety.
What is the Reverse Radar?
The Ogden Reverse Radar is a device that boosts safety in your construction with multi-beam, navradar technology. This technology builds programmable precision-guided detection zones. These detection zones let you minimise blind spots, preventing collisions between people walking and machinery.
How does the Reverse Radar work?
The Ogden Reverse Radar systems give audio and visual warnings. Ogden reverse radar technology can deal with dust, mud, poor visibility, and other site challenges, with an intelligent design that reduces false alarms and creates safe machine interaction using override sequences. Advanced Ogden systems, like the VMS system, can even use features like automatic braking to prevent accidents.
Ogden Reverse Radar advantages
Precise detection zones
The Ogden Reverse Radar system uses several carefully designed antennae to form consistent, repeatable, and responsive detection zones.
Intelligent distance and direction sensing
Ogden Reverse Radar systems use direction and speed sensing to tell the difference between relevant hazards to avoid and static objects. This system means fewer false alarms and better reliability.
Configurable warning systems
When you use the Ogden Reverse Radar, you can configure the radar to better suit specific jobsite applications, as well as meld it to different vehicles. This means you can create custom safety parameters for different work environments.
Collision prevention
One of the main features of the Ogden Reverse Radar system is its ability to detect objects and people in a vehicle’s potential blind spots. The radar then gives the operator a timely warning, so that they can react before a collision happens.
Automatic braking
The Ogden Reverse Radar’s more advanced systems, like the Ogden VMS, can prevent severe accidents by automatically applying the brakes and bringing your vehicle to a controlled stop, even if the driver doesn’t react to the hazard.
Resilience to harsh conditions
The Ogden Reverse Radar benefits from an almost unbreakable design, for performance unaffected by dust, dirt, mud, and even the harshest of site conditions. You’ll find your Ogden Reverse Radar ticking along reliably, no matter what.
Overcoming limited visibility
Uniquely, the Ogden Reverse Radar is not a camera-based safety system. So, the radar’s performance never wanes, even in smoke, dust, fog, or the worst on-site weather conditions. You’ll always get consistent hazard detection, regardless of operator visibility.
Fewer false alarms
With its multiple antennae and intelligent tracking algorithms, the Ogden Reverse Radar system is great at reducing false alarms. This means a more effective, less annoying safety tool for equipment operators.
Allows for noise and ear protection use
In most sites, operators and workers wear ear defenders to protect themselves from the health hazards of loud machinery, which also prevents them from noticing a vehicle’s approach. This is where the Ogden Reverse Radar can really shine, protecting workers who might not hear dangers on the site.
Yields actionable data
In some advanced Ogden Reverse Radar systems, you’ll find the Brake Logic Box. This feature keeps a log of brake activations and overrides, which gives you valuable data for assessing the causes of site collisions and for post-incident investigation.
Integrates with onboard systems
If you already use some onboard vehicle systems, like a telematics solution or fleet management, the Ogden Reverse Radar has the ability to integrate seamlessly with any of these systems. Using the Ogden Reverse Radar with the onboard vehicle systems you already know and trust means you get even better real-time monitoring and data-sharing, for superior vehicle safety management and efficiency in your construction site. When you merge the Ogden Reverse Radar with your pre-existing technology, you can get a holistic overview of your site operations, gaining a better way to enhance your safety protocols overall.
User-Friendly Interface
The Ogden Reverse Radar is a site safety device with an intuitive, user-friendly interface that gives simple operation. This simplicity means users can grasp the system quickly, responding to its warnings with no confusion or distraction. The clear, straightforward warning and alert display means anyone can pick up the Ogden Reverse Radar’s controls in no time at all, for safer machinery interactions sooner than expected, even for operators with minimal experience.
