COLUMBUS, Ohio (PRWEB) March 09, 2022 - As a long-established UK-based safety solution company, GKD Technologies recently received FCC approval for the USA distribution of their product, SensorZone. SensorZone is a proximity warning system designed to manage the interaction between people and plant or machinery in the workplace. With this simple, proven safety system now approved to be sold in the United States, GKD Technologies looked for a partner to promote and distribute their product throughout the US. What they found was Hill & Smith Inc., a traffic safety product manufacturer, headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. Hill & Smith Inc. has vendors nationwide and is eager to promote this potentially life-saving product.

Too many preventable accidents happen within work zones on a daily basis. With the innovative technology used in SensorZone, these accidents can be stopped and human behaviors can be modified. Were excited with our partnership with GKD Technologies and look forward to bringing their product to the US, says Gary Lallo, President and CEO of Hill & Smith Inc.

A modular, easy fit system, SensorZone creates a detection zone around machinery and equipment. Uniquely, in the event of a person entering this zone, the operator and pedestrian are alerted. Most importantly, SensorZone keeps a cloud-based data log and analysis of all actions and incidents. This supports the proactive management of site safety and helps to drive behavioral change.

SensorZone has been subject to multiple, widescale deployments across a range of industries and companies who are looking to drive a positive safety culture and reduce accidents in the workplace. The safety system currently has over 14,000 tags in the field across the world and covering more than 500 sites.
