CAT® DETECT Safety Technology & Upgrades
While all construction operations want to complete projects quickly and efficiently, keeping workers safe is a top priority. The latest innovations in heavy equipment technology include advanced safety features designed to prevent workplace accidents.
Cat Detect includes multiple state-of-the-art technologies that will make your job sites safer.
Cat® 2D E-Fence for Excavators
The 2D E-fence reduces the risk of damage and injuries by creating boundaries to keep workers out of harm's way.
The 2D E-fence relies on data from intuitive position sensors to automatically stop the machine's motion when it approaches the edge of predetermined boundaries. The easy setup enables operators to complete the process quickly and go to work with fewer concerns about accidents.
Rear Object Detection for Wheel Loaders
Do you depend on wheel loaders to move and load dirt, gravel, stone and other materials? This two-part detection system enhances safety by increasing blind spot awareness. Rear Object Detection utilizes radar to deliver visual and audible alerts when objects enter the proximity zone.
This Cat Detect technology features a detection system to monitor objects appearing behind the wheel loader. It works while in neutral with the parking brake disengaged or in reverse. Proximity bars issue five warning levels to indicate an object's nearness. The system also includes a camera to let operators see what's behind them when reversing the machine.
People Detection for Excavators
Construction and mining sites are busy places filled with mobile equipment and personnel. Cat Detect People Detection for excavators reduces the risk of a machine striking and injuring a worker by sensing the presence of individuals on the ground. This intelligent vision camera system notifies operators when someone enters the hazard zone by providing timely visual and audible safety alerts.
People Detection is capable of differentiating humans from background objects. It can function without additional technologies and complements other equipment safety systems.
Driver Safety System (DSS)
The Cat® Detect Driver Safety System (DSS) helps protect operators by monitoring signs of fatigue and distraction in real time. Using advanced in-cab sensors, DSS tracks head and eye movements to identify moments when operators lose focus. When distraction or fatigue is detected, immediate alerts are triggered through seat vibrations, audio signals, and visual warnings to refocus attention.
DSS is ideal for long shifts and haul applications where staying alert is critical. It promotes safer operations and helps reduce the risk of costly mistakes.
Camera Systems
Maximize visibility and safety by installing a high-performing Cat camera system. Options include:
- Cat Detect with Smart Camera: These smart cameras use an algorithm to detect people around the machine and issue intelligent alerts to notify the operator. Download Brochure
- Cat Detect with Surround Cameras: This system implements three or four cameras and an in-cab display to give operators a panoramic view of their surroundings. Download Brochure
- Cat Detect with Rear Camera: This camera and cab-mounted touch screen display give you a comprehensive view of what's behind the machine. Download Brochure
Seat Belt Reminder
The Cat® Seat Belt Reminder helps enforce one of the most important job site safety rules. When operators forget or get distracted, this in-cab system issues alerts if the seat belt is not secured. Optional external beacons can also notify site managers, promoting better compliance and overall job site awareness.
Compatible with Cat and other OEM equipment, this solution is ideal for mixed fleets. It reinforces safe habits and helps ensure operators stay protected throughout the day.
