Orlaco Collision Avoidance System (CAS)

Prevent Collisions. Protect Lives. Enhance Productivity.

Red Edge Resources is proud to deliver the Orlaco Collision Avoidance System (CAS) – the most advanced collision prevention technology for mining, construction, and earthmoving operations across Australia. Orlaco’s intelligent CAS technology combines radar detection, camera systems, and real-time alerts to eliminate accidents, protect ground personnel, and create safer worksites.

What is the Orlaco Collision Avoidance System (CAS)?

The Orlaco CAS is an integrated safety system that uses advanced sensor technology, cameras, and intelligent software to detect people, vehicles, and obstacles around heavy machinery. The system provides real-time visual and audible warnings to operators, preventing collisions before they happen.

How Orlaco CAS Works:

1. Detection – Multiple radar sensors and cameras continuously monitor zones around the machine
2. Analysis – Intelligent software identifies people, vehicles, and obstacles in real-time
3. Alert – Operators receive instant visual and audible warnings on in-cab displays
4. Prevention – Optional machine lockout stops equipment movement when danger is detected

Why Choose Orlaco Collision Avoidance System?

The Most Dangerous Worksite Hazards:

• Reversing accidents – Limited rear visibility causes fatalities
• Blind spot collisions – Operators can’t see ground personnel
• Vehicle-to-vehicle impacts – Multiple machines working in close proximity
• Pedestrian strikes – Workers moving around active equipment
• Low visibility conditions – Dust, darkness, and weather reduce visibility

Orlaco CAS eliminates these risks with proven collision prevention technology.

Key Benefits:

✓ Save Lives – Protect ground personnel from heavy machinery accidents
✓ Prevent Costly Accidents – Eliminate equipment damage and downtime
✓ Improve Compliance – Meet Australian safety standards and regulations
✓ Reduce Insurance Costs – Demonstrate proactive safety measures
✓ Boost Operator Confidence – Work safely in confined spaces and low visibility
✓ Increase Productivity – Operators work faster with complete awareness
✓ Australian Support – Full installation and technical support from Red Edge Resources
