Safety in the industrial work environment remains a priority challenge. According to the National Institute for Health and Safety in the Workplace (INSST), during 2023, 106,020 accidents at work were recorded in the industrial sector, with an incidence rate of 4,446. Of the total, 93 were fatal, giving a fatality rate of 3.9. These figures reflect not only a devastating human impact, but also significant economic consequences for businesses.
Each workplace accident represents an irreparable loss for families and a significant challenge for organisations, which face costs associated with medical care, operational disruptions, compensation and often the loss of skilled workers. This shows that safety should not be seen as an expense, but as a strategic investment.
To address this issue, Crash Stopper emerges as an advanced collision warning-based prevention solution. This system combines smart sensor technology, with real-time alerts and data analysis, to identify and prevent risks within industrial environments. Its main function is to reduce the possibility of collisions and other accidents associated with the use of heavy machinery and warehouse vehicles.
