Industrial Positioning & Identification Sensors
COXTAIR® is an AI-based pedestrian detection system designed for coke oven plants and heavy industrial environments. It prevents collisions between coke oven machines and operators by detecting, localizing and analyzing human presence in real time, even in extreme operating conditions such as dust, heat and low visibility.
Request InformationPushing machines operate in highly constrained environments where operators are exposed to moving equipment, limited visibility and complex machine trajectories. These conditions create multiple blind spots and increase the risk of collision between personnel and coke oven machinery during operation.
Charging machines operate along the coke oven battery and require precise coordination between operators and equipment. The presence of elevated structures, narrow walkways and continuous movements generates critical interaction zones where pedestrian detection becomes essential for safe operations.
Coke oven plants are among the most demanding industrial environments, combining high temperatures, dust, noise and continuous machine movements. In these conditions, operators may be difficult to detect, increasing the probability of near-misses or collisions. COXTAIR® addresses these challenges by providing reliable real-time pedestrian detection adapted to coke oven operations.
COXTAIR® sensors are installed directly on the machines to ensure full coverage of critical areas defined by the customer. Touchscreen control displays installed in the operator cabin provide real-time visualization of events and pedestrian collision risks.
COXTAIR® is an advanced pedestrian detection system designed specifically for coke oven plants. It continuously monitors operator presence around coke oven machines and ensures safe interactions between personnel and moving equipment. The system detects, localizes and analyzes pedestrian movements in real time, even in harsh industrial environments.
Real-Time Pedestrian Detection:
COXTAIR® detects a pedestrian outside the defined safe walkway using AI-based vision technology.
The system operates continuously and reliably in coke oven environments, including dust, heat and low visibility conditions.
Precise Localization & Zone Monitoring:
COXTAIR® identifies the exact position of the operator and determines whether the person is located inside or outside a secured area.
Detection remains effective regardless of posture (standing, crouching or partially visible).
Automatic Safety Trigger:
When a hazardous situation is detected, COXTAIR® immediately activates a safety response.
The system can be directly interfaced with the machine control system to ensure rapid reaction without operator intervention.
Machine Stop & Collision Prevention:
COXTAIR® automatically stops the machine translation to prevent any collision between coke oven equipment and personnel.
This function is active in manual, semi-automatic and fully automated machine operations.
Detection Areas :
Configuration of the detection areas and safe walkway.
Operator Alert & Real-Time Visualization:
An alarm is triggered in the operator cabin and the situation is displayed on the control screen.
The operator has immediate visual feedback and can safely resume operations once the area is cleared.
COXTAIR® is specifically engineered for coke oven applications, including charging machines, pushing machines, coke guides and service machines. The monitored detection zone covers the full width of the machine, excluding predefined safe walkways defined by the operator.
The system improves operator safety and working conditions while reducing unnecessary alarms thanks to adjustable sensitivity. It also supports remote maintenance and software updates, ensuring long-term performance and reliability in extreme industrial environments.
COXTAIR® combines artificial intelligence, embedded vision systems and industrial integration to deliver a complete safety solution for coke oven plants. The system detects pedestrians in all postures (standing, crouching or partially hidden), filters irrelevant objects and generates only meaningful alerts to avoid operator fatigue.
Designed for seamless integration with machine control systems, COXTAIR® enables automatic safety responses such as alarms or machine stop commands. It contributes to improving operator safety, reducing accident risks and maintaining production efficiency without unnecessary interruptions.
