OmniPro Vision AI is designed to provide alerts when pedestrians, vehicles, and other potential hazards are in the path of heavy equipment. 

Matrix Design Group, a technology provider for industrial and mining equipment, has introduced this new collision avoidance system.

With components designed for harsh conditions, OmniPro Vision AI allows for fully customizable zones and the ability to work in low-light and all-weather conditions, making it viable for multiple equipment uses and operating environments.

Powered by what Matrix Design calls the Hub, a centralized networking device that serves as a point of connectivity for multiple devices, the OmniPro Vision AI can operate up to four cameras. An expansion port is available for additional cameras and the system architecture on the Hub will accommodate future sensors and devices.

The Hub is reportedly easy to install and integrates with most OEMs. The company describes it essentially as a plug-and-play system.

Due to the high-speed processing rate, OmniPro Vision AI minimizes false positives and nuisance alerts that can desensitize workers to alarms. Each camera can monitor up to five fully customizable alert zones that apply to different objects and perform various actions. 

According to Matrix Design, no tags are required, as the cameras will alert pedestrians, vehicles, and key objects. OmniPro Vision AI can identify individuals wearing PPE and pedestrians in any posture, including standing sideways, crouching, kneeling, or in partial view.
