NBS AI100 high-definition intelligent pedestrian detection camera

The NBS AI100 pedestrian detection system adopts DEEP Learning technology to detect pedestrians in real time, to warn the driver of the potential risk of collision with pedestrians and improve driving safety!

The NBS AI100 camera can be installed on the side, front and rear of the vehicle , to intelligently detect pedestrians within a radius of 20M . In addition, this system can be used on any equipment, including: Wheel loaders, excavators, trucks, road rollers, graders, forklifts, mobile cranes, agricultural machinery and more.

AI100 high-definition intelligent camera system specification

• Pedestrian and cyclist detection
• Detection range 0.5-20M adjustable
• Adjustable color stripes to show detected areas
• No control box needed, can be directly connected to normal monitors or DVR.
• Camera housing heating under 10°C
• Waterproof/dustproof rating: IP69K
• 1 year warranty

Why NBS?

The ultimate goal of a pedestrian detection system (PDS) is to reduce injuries caused by pedestrian-vehicle accidents. Most of these systems tend to adopt expensive sensors, such as infrared devices, mono or stereoscopic sensors, or the like, with the expectation of better performance. In comparison, a low cost system based on an HD optical camera has great potential practical value, including greater detection range.

NBS offers reversing cameras that have full integrated artificial intelligence and capable of detecting the presence of pedestrians and cyclists (no obstacle detection). This technology is revolutionary and offers equipment fleets a reliable way to manage human / machine interactions. The NBS-Detect AI100 camera adopts DEEP Learning technology to detect pedestrians in real time, to warn the driver of potential pedestrian collision risks and improve driving safety!

• 99% reliable with minimal false triggers
• No additional hardware required
• The pedestrian does not need to wear or carry anything for the system to work (e.g .: badge)
• Compatible with HD monitor to provide high definition camera system
• The NBS AI100 camera can be used on any equipment including: Wheel loaders, excavators, trucks, road rollers, graders, forklifts, mobile cranes, agricultural machinery and more.

The NBS-CAM AI100 is a reliable and efficient camera to meet the safety requirements of the construction, road works, ports and mining sectors.

Grease is the key element to your lubrication system.

The type of grease chosen is particularly important to keep the system running and will impact the efficiency. Thick grease can cause several problems when temperatures are very cold.

Pumpability of a more fluid grease (EP-0) compared to thicker grease (EP-2) in winter, will help your system work at lower pressure and will help achieve optimal performance.

Below 0°C, EP-2 grease will be very difficult to pump in an automatic greasing system. For example, even though it is indicated on the EP-2 tube that it is pumpable up to -10°C, the grease will not be able to move in the automatic greasing system because of the internal width of the hoses and distribution valves which create restriction. Therefore, reduce the viscosity of the grease to get the optimal performance you need.

Should you still use a thicker grease in the winter, use a synthetic grease instead of a mineral grease. We recommend EP-1 synthetic grease or EP-0 mineral grease in all areas below 48th parallel, as well as temperatures up to -40°C. After that, you will have to downgrade or use full synthetic or more fluid grease.  

Characteristics

After analyzing the working conditions of your automatic greasing system, here are the recommendations concerning the choice of the grease to use. 

Mixing different types of grease may damage your system.

Before changing your grease, make sure the new grease is compatible with the current grease.

Procedures to bleed your system

In order to avoid mixing greases, it is strongly advised to bleed your system. The Alltech Group proposes you a grease replacement procedures in order to avoid damaging your system.
