In the dynamic world of logistics and handling, safety is a top priority. Tamarri Srl, leader in the forklift spare parts sector, is proud to present the latest innovation in safety: the Anti-Collision System with Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology.
The security revolution: UWB technology
The Tamarri Srl UWB System is designed to significantly improve safety in warehouses, construction sites and in work environments where forklifts and other industrial vehicles operate. UWB technology guarantees a detection precision of up to 10 cm, allowing you to identify obstacles and pedestrians through physical obstacles, with a minimal tendency to signal bounces. These characteristics make our system particularly effective in environments with high promiscuity of vehicles and pedestrians.
Main functions
The UWB System offers three main functions to ensure safety:
- Pedestrian-vehicle anti-collisionThis function detects the presence of pedestrians equipped with SS1001 wearable TAGs within four configurable safety areas. In case of danger, the system emits audible and visual alarms both on the main device SS1000 and on the wearable TAGs, alerting both the driver and pedestrians.
- Machine-to-machine collision preventionThanks to the SS1000 central unit, equipped vehicles can detect the presence of other vehicles nearby, reducing the risk of collisions in areas of poor visibility or at intersections.
- Management of intersections and work areasAlso known as zoning, this system slows down vehicles near intersections or limited areas, thanks to the use of SS1002 powered sensors, strategically positioned.
Pedestrian-vehicle anti-collision: safety at the highest levels
The pedestrian-vehicle anti-collision function is one of the most requested and appreciated features by our customers. In a dynamic work environment, where pedestrians share space with transport vehicles, safety is an essential topic. Tamarri Srl has developed an advanced solution to reduce the risks of accidents and guarantee a safer and more protected working environment.
How does it work
The pedestrian-vehicle anti-collision system is based on the use of wearable TAG (SS1001) by pedestrians and the central unit (SS1000) installed on forklifts. Here’s how it works in detail:
- Pedestrian detection: Every pedestrian, including forklift operators when not driving, wears an SS1001 TAG. These tags are equipped with motion sensors and rechargeable batteries, ensuring a long operating life and energy saving thanks to the standby mode activated after 10 minutes of immobility.
- Safety Areas: The system allows you to configure four detection areas around the forklift:
- Green zone: activated within a configurable distance of up to 95 meters. In this zone, the tag beeps every 2 seconds.
- Yellow zone: in this intermediate zone, the tag beep becomes more frequent, every second;
- Red zone: this is the maximum alarm zone. The tag emits a continuous beep every second accompanied by a vibration, indicating an imminent danger of collision.
- Silence area: to avoid false alarms when the forklift operator is outside the vehicle but close to it, it is possible to configure a silence area in which the tag does not trigger alarms on your forklift.
- Alarms and alerts: When a pedestrian enters one of the detection zones, the SS1000 System immediately activates audible and visual alarms on the forklift. At the same time, the tag worn by the pedestrian emits acoustic signals and, if necessary, vibrations, alerting the pedestrian to the danger.
- Personalized management of distances: detection distances can be customized via the SS1003 Configurator, taking into account the specific needs of the working environment. This allows the system to be adapted to the different speeds of the vehicles, the characteristics of the pavement and other critical variables.
Advantages of the pedestrian-vehicle anti-collision system
- Reduction of accidents: the implementation of the pedestrian-vehicle anti-collision system significantly reduces the risk of accidents between pedestrians and transport vehicles.
- Precise warnings: thanks to audible and visual alarms, both drivers and pedestrians are warned of danger in real time, allowing rapid and preventive reactions.
- Customization: the ability to configure detection distances and safety areas allows you to adapt the system to the specific needs of each work site.
- Energy efficiency: SS1001 TAGs are designed to last several days on a single charge and activate automatically with movement, ensuring efficiency and convenience.
- Reliability: the detection accuracy of 10 cm and the ability to penetrate obstacles make the system extremely reliable even in complex and crowded environments.
Machine-machine collision prevention: total protection for handling vehicles
In the logistics and handling sector, collisions between vehicles represent a significant risk, especially in areas of poor visibility or at intersections. Our Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology helps mitigate these risks, ensuring a safer work environment and preventing costly damage to vehicles.

How does it work
The machine-machine collision avoidance system uses the SS1000 central unit installed on each handling vehicle. Here are the operational details:
- Vehicle detection: each vehicle is equipped with the SS1000 central unit, which acts as both a transmitter and receiver of UWB signals. When two vehicles equipped with the system approach within a configurable distance, the system automatically enters alarm mode.
- Alarms and warnings: when the configured safety distance is exceeded, the SS1000 System activates visual and audible alarms on the vehicles involved. Operators are immediately alerted to the presence of another vehicle nearby, allowing them to take preventative measures to avoid a collision.
- Automatic activation of alarms: the system can activate additional safety devices such as warning lights and buzzers, connected to the central unit via dedicated connectors. These devices increase the visibility of the danger and improve risk communication between vehicles.
- Customized configuration: the safety distance can be customized through the SS1003 Configurator. Users can adjust the parameters based on specific operational needs, taking into account the speed of the vehicles and the characteristics of the working environment.
