Hella projects safety benefits with Visiotech
Hella has launched a new projection module which is designed to illuminate danger zones around a vehicle.
The new Visiotech product is suitable for applications from 12 to 48 volts, including for trailer fitment, and complements Hella’s extensive work lamp range.
“With this small, but versatile addition, danger zones around the vehicle can be optically marked out, so that everyone in the affected area can be warned and protected,” explained the company.
“Previously, physical signs or barriers would have needed to be erected, which both costs time and takes resource away from the actual job in hand.
“Using illumination technology, Hella’s Visiotech light module can project a suitable warning symbol, such as an exclamation mark or hazardous area chevrons, onto the ground and so optically warn other vehicles or passers-by, drawing attention to any danger or to delineate certain work 
areas.
“In addition, other projection symbols can be developed in collaboration with customers, which could be especially important in the construction and mining industries, where the danger zone can clearly and easily be identified for everyone on site – when shovels or dump trucks are being unloaded, for example.”
Other scenarios include when employees working for municipal services have to regularly step down from the cab and are exposed to serious danger from other road users, says Hella – or for trucks, ambulances and emergency vehicles, that require loading or safety areas that need to be clearly marked and highlighted.
“With the Visiotech projection module solution, Hella has enabled work safety and security during routine operations to be significantly enhanced, no matter whether it’s day or night.”
