Agriculture and Farming

‘One quarter of all fatal accidents in agriculture result from moving vehicles according to the Health and Safety Executive’

Agriculture is a hugely diverse industry with a host of unpredictable challenges. The cultivating of land, producing of crops and raising of livestock all rely heavily on operational efficiency. Unfavourable weather conditions, low crop yields and demanding food safety regulations, combined with discriminative consumers and a demand for alternative niche products (organic, grass-fed) in a globally competitive market, means maximum productivity is paramount for the survival of agribusinesses.

Incidents in the industry include;

    • Reversing accidents due to blind spots
    • Reversing accidents due to people not seeing the vehicle moving
    • Vehicles running people over due to the handbrake not being applied
    • Vehicles overturning due to hitting stockpiles
    • Forward collisions due to limited visibility when carrying loads
    • Collisions with other traffic on public roads
    • Large machines colliding with smaller vehicles
    • Missed crop due to the driver not being able to see the surplus
    • Damaged crop due to the picking element being too high
    • Collecting too much soil and foliage, which over fills the hopper / tractor

Ultrasonic Sensors

Ultrasonic Proximity Sensors

Sensor systems for road going commercial vehicles regularly operating in confined spaces or manoeuvring at low speeds. Ultrasonic Proximity Sensors are the best sensors to help commercial vehicles operate in these confined spaces, making the task at hand, that much easier.

Thermal Imaging Camera

Infrared thermal imaging camera

The Brigade Electronics Infrared Thermal Imaging Camera systems enable drivers to see objects by detecting differences in temperature, improving visibility and reaction times and therefore reducing the risk of accidents, particularly in the dark or in harsh weather conditions.

Thermal Image Camera is used in a variety of industries, we're all well aware of spies and the armed forces using them in action, but in relation to vehicle safety these cameras are used to help drivers to see things that would otherwise remain hidden.

In the winter season for example, fog is a dangerous hazard that everyone faces. Eliminate some dangers by using one of Brigades' Thermal Imaging Cameras which allows you to see clearly through the fog by identifying heat sources from other road users or pedestrians, allowing you to identify the hazards around you and arrive safely at your destination.
