Secure your maneuvers: NBS 77 GHz radars for heavy equipment
In industrial, mining, municipal and off‑road environments, reversing maneuvers and operations in confined areas are among the most common causes of accidents. The NBS RA827 radar detection systems were designed to eliminate these risks at the source using next‑generation 77 GHz technology, delivering unmatched precision, remarkable stability and proven reliability in the toughest conditions.
Why switch to 77 GHz technology now?
While many systems on the market still use 24 GHz radar, 77 GHz technology offers a significant leap in performance:
- Much higher resolution
- Ability to distinguish between obstacles that are very close to each other (pedestrians, vehicles, cones, structures).
- Better detection of small critical objects in high-risk areas.
- More precise beam, less noise
- More targeted detection area.
- Less interference and unwanted reflections, even in congested sites (construction sites, quarries, factories).
- Same technology as high-end automobiles
- Uses the same frequency band as modern vehicle collision avoidance and ADAS systems.
- A proven solution, adapted to the harsh environments of off-road and industrial equipment.
In summary: more detail, more reliability, and more safety than with older 24 GHz systems.
Key Benefits for Operators and Fleet Managers

Distance Indicator: The Option That Transforms the Operator Experience
To increase safety, the NBS radar system can be paired with a digital distance indicator:
- Real‑time clear display of distance to hazards.
- Color‑coded light indicators by zone
- Audible alerts with automatic intensity scaling based on proximity
Integration With 7’’ or 10’’ Monitors: Real‑Time Vision Combined With Radar
To maximize both safety and maneuvering efficiency, NBS radar systems can be paired with a 7" or 10" monitor. This combination creates a complete solution where radar detection overlays the live video feed from an NBS camera.
Major benefits:
- Immediate visualization of risk zones : radar‑detected areas appear directly on‑screen, allowing the operator to see the threat rather than just hear it.
- Smart overlay : danger zones (color‑coded) combined with camera view for instant understanding of distances and obstacles..
- Drastic reduction of human error: dual confirmation (visual + radar) increases accuracy even in cluttered environments.
- Ideal for harsh conditions : dust, rain, snow, low visibility—radar detects, camera confirms, operator reacts quickly.
- Superior user experience : clear, ergonomic, intuitive display that encourages operator adoption and standardizes safety procedures.
This radar + camera synergy offers a complete, scalable solution perfectly adapted for industrial fleets looking to reduce incident risks, improve visibility and provide their teams with a modern, reliable, easy‑to‑use tool.
A Modular, Complete and Scalable Solution
NBS radars integrate seamlessly with other NBS safety solutions: cameras, monitors, 360° systems, alarms… They make it possible to create a fully protected environment around the vehicle and adapt each configuration to the specific needs of the application.
