Company profile

HIT-NOT

Magnetic proximity detection for forklifts, alerting through fields that pass through racking and loads, from a Huntsville, Alabama base. [2]

Also known as: HIT-NOT Proximity Detection

What the company sells

HIT-NOT builds proximity detection around magnetic fields rather than radio or vision. A generator mounted on the truck creates a configurable warning zone and, inside it, a danger zone, and each pedestrian carries a Personal Alarm Device that responds to the field. The company states it has supplied this technology for more than two decades. [2]

Why the physics matters

The magnetic field passes through the obstructions that defeat other technologies, which the company describes as blind corners, racks, loads and dense materials. That makes the system a fit for warehouses where the dangerous geometry is structural and a pedestrian is genuinely hidden until the moment of contact, rather than merely unnoticed. [2]

Personal Alarm Device and facility-mounted alerts

Pedestrians carry the wearable device, and for areas where nobody wears one the company offers facility-mounted alert units instead, which covers workstations and production lines without extending the tag programme. [2]
