"Working alongside our internal team and those at SonaSafe we've seen an 80% reduction in near misses as well as a 65% reduction in exclusion zone breaches. Ultimately we're driving behavioural change through a more engaged workforce and creating a safer work environment."

Intelligent Industry Safety
The Challenge
Heavy Industry manufacturing operations depend on high capacity forklifts, loaders, overhead movements and specialised mobile plant to keep production flowing. But these machines also represent some of New Zealand’s most significant sources of workplace harm. WorkSafe New Zealand continues to report serious injuries and fatalities in fabrication shops, steel yards and manufacturing plants where people and mobile plant operate in tight, noisy and constantly changing environments. Traditional proximity systems often over-alert in these conditions, creating frustration and alert fatigue that lead operators to ignore or disable them entirely.
80%
Reduction in 'Near Miss' incidents through positive behavioural change.
Configured for your site. SonaSafe is a fully integrated proximity awareness solution that combines both real-time incident alerts, together with analytics and staff engagement tools that drive behavioural change at an affordable price.
65% Fewer Exclusion Zone Breaches
Proactive management reduces exclusion zone breaches by 65% and builds a culture where everyone feels genuine ownership and responsibility for safety.
80% Reduction of Near Misses
By combining real-time alerts with clear, actionable data, SonaSafe helps teams avoid risk before it turns into an incident.
Driving Behavioural Change
By turning every alert into usable insight, SonaSafe reshapes worksite behaviour. The details of each incident flow straight to our cloud-based dashboard, capturing who, what, when, and where. Geo-tags highlight high-risk zones, while trend graphs by time, shift, and location reveal patterns that traditional reporting never shows.
Trusted 24/7 Device Monitoring
We currently have more than 3,000 SonaSafe devices working every day across warehousing, logistics, ports, container handling, and heavy industry. Our solution creates its own network with devices reporting back faults and health back to our cloud based Device Management application. Any damage, faults and disconnection of speakers or wires is detected and reported back to our monitoring system.

Gantry Solution
SonaSafe’s gantry system enhances safety around overhead cranes and suspended loads by monitoring the movement of both plant and people beneath the gantry. The system provides real time alerts when workers enter warning or stop zones, helping prevent crush, swing and drop related incidents. By giving operators and ground crews instant, actionable feedback, SonaSafe supports safer lifts, smoother workflows and more predictable behaviour in high-risk fabrication and manufacturing environments.
Vehicle on Vehicle
SonaSafe reduces vehicle on vehicle collisions by detecting approaching mobile plant and alerting operators before paths intersect. The system monitors surrounding vehicles in real time and triggers warning or stop alerts when another machine enters a defined risk zone. This helps prevent side-swipes, nose-to-nose impacts and intersection collisions supporting smoother traffic flow, safer manoeuvring and more predictable movement across busy industrial sites.
Camera AI Integration
SonaSafe enhances heavy-industry safety by integrating seamlessly with third-party camera AI systems, creating a complete, high confidence view of people and plant movements. Ground crews and operators receive real-time proximity alerts and collision avoidance warnings, while camera AI adds powerful visual verification and incident review. Together, they deliver a full-picture safety solution that supports critical lifts, complex manoeuvres and high-risk workflows across steel, fabrication and heavy manufacturing sites.
Hoist 6 Sounder System
SonaSafe’s hoist system is designed to protect workers around overhead lifting operations, where visibility is limited and the consequences of error are severe. The system monitors the movement of the hoist and the area beneath it, alerting operators and ground crews in real time when someone enters a warning or stop zone. These instant, precise alerts help prevent crush, swing and drop-zone incidents supporting safer lifts, controlled workflows and consistent behaviour in demanding steel and heavy-manufacturing environments.

Compliance
Under New Zealand’s Health and Safety at Work Act (2015), PCBUs in heavy industry must separate people and mobile plant “so far as is reasonably practicable.” In high-risk steel, fabrication and manufacturing environments, failing to do so carries significant legal and operational liability. SonaSafe provides an auditable, engineering-based control that helps demonstrate due diligence, strengthens compliance, and gives leaders confidence that critical risks are being actively managed.
