SafeDistance is a wearable from Lopos that uses ultra-wideband (UWB) technology to automatically measure the distance between people and/or material handling equipment such as forklifts. It alerts them immediately if they come closer than the required distance through sound, vibration and LED light.

The collision warning parameters, such as distance, can be adjusted. You can even personalize the types (sound, vibration, light) and number of alerts you receive. SafeDistance can be easily reconfigured if internal policies change.
In contrast to wearables that use conventional Bluetooth or Wi-Fi signals for location tracking, SafeDistance uses ultra-wideband. UWB measures distances much more accurately, with an error margin of less than 15 centimetres. Bluetooth, in comparison, has an error margin of 2 to 5 metres. This means there are no false alarms when using SafeDistance. The wearable only alerts when you actually get too close.
Simply switch on the SafeDistance wearable and you’re ready to go. There is no expensive infrastructure required such as beacons or gateways.
SafeDistance does not log any information whatsoever – no personal data or location details – and is therefore GDPR compliant by design.
SafeDistance uses revolutionary ultra-wideband radio technology. Emitting low-energy signals at high speeds and bandwidth, UWB is uniquely suited for a location- and distance-tracking wearable compared to other wireless technologies such as Bluetooth.
SafeDistance has multiple types of alarms that are activated when workers are potentially in danger: there is an audible beep (100 dBA), a vibration, and an LED light. Administrators can choose to use just one of these alarms or any combination of the three at the same time.
The distance is measured 10 times per second with an accuracy of 10 cm (4 inch). Which means there is an instant alarm in case of danger.
SafeDistance has a battery life 2 to 5 days on a single battery charge. It takes just three hours to fully charge the device with the USB cable supplied.
To ensure safe distancing is respected at all times, SafeDistance cannot be switched off while in use as standard. Employees cannot switch the device off to prevent alarms from being triggered if they do not keep their distance. It is only switched off during charging or if it’s not used for a couple of hours.
SafeDistance is optimized for high-volume deployments and does not suffer from interference. No matter how many devices are active in the same area, they will not interfere with one another.
You can customize the settings of your SafeDistance wearables with our free mobile app. The following can be configured:
You can adjust the SafeDistance-wearable to your situation. Not only through the different alarms or configurable distance, but also thanks to the accessories that let you wear and charge the devices the way that suits you best.
With the belt clip, you quickly attach the SafeDistance wearable to your trousers or other pieces of clothing.
With a carabiner you can easily carry your SafeDistance around.
Put our wristband around your SafeDistance to wear it like a watch.
