Visionary AI-Assist helps reduce collision risks for heavy-duty vehicles in tough work environments

In busy industrial settings—whether it's construction sites, mining operations, or logistics hubs—collisions between vehicles, equipment, and people can lead to costly damage and serious safety risks. Visionary AI-Assist from SICK is an advanced AI-powered solution designed to help operators detect and avoid potential hazards before they become incidents.

Every day, operators navigate massive machines like front-end loaders, dump trucks, and autonomous transport vehicles through tight, obstacle-filled spaces. Blind spots, unpredictable movement, and poor visibility due to dust or weather make this a high-stress job. Even seasoned professionals can miss something critical. Traditional tools like mirrors, warning buzzers, or basic cameras often fall short — triggering false alarms or failing to provide timely alerts.

Visionary AI-Assist changes the game

This intelligent system combines SICK’s rugged Visionary-B Two 3D camera with powerful onboard AI software. It captures high-resolution depth and color data in real time, identifying people and objects with millimeter-level accuracy—even if they’re partially obscured. The system can be configured to monitor wide areas or focus on specific zones, depending on your operational needs.

What sets Visionary AI-Assist apart is its ability to analyze data directly on the sensor, prioritize warnings based on urgency, and drastically reduce false alarms. Its flexible zone settings and precise distance measurements make it a reliable partner in high-risk environments.

Built to Last

Built for the outdoors, Visionary AI-Assist features a durable housing rated IP67/IP69K, operates in extreme temperatures from -40°F to +131°F, and offers optional accessories like anti-vibration mounts and protective hoods to shield against dust, rain, and direct sunlight.

By detecting threats early and issuing clear, prioritized alerts, Visionary AI-Assist helps operators safely maneuver large mobile machines. It also supports autonomous vehicles like forklifts and transport shuttles—where reliable object and person detection is essential for safe, adaptive automation.

With standard interfaces like Ethernet, CAN, and digital I/O, integration into existing mobile platforms is straightforward. Whether you're upgrading manual operations or scaling up automation, Visionary AI-Assist delivers smarter safety and smoother workflows.
