Safety Systems
WTE products are well suited for a myriad of safety systems, for use in large vehicles in mining applications, rail work gangs, assembly point safety systems and many others. High power means that messages can reach difficult locations. Logged messages means that auditing requirements can be met.
Assembly Point Safety Systems
In a muster station or evacuation assembly point type scenario, a warden can notify when an area or zone is safe and all personnel are present with a single button press or key switch operation. Messages sent are acknowledged, so that an overseeing warden can be automatically notified when multiple zones are reported as safe. Suitable for large industry and multi level buildings. The system is extremely cost effective and simple to deploy.
Vehicle Safety Systems
The TReX-460 can be deployed as in-cabin control units for systems and/or vehicles. The TReX can be used with a panic button that can immediately alert a work crew of danger. In-vehicle visual and audible alerts can be operated by the TReX to provide notification of urgent conditions.
Tsunami Sirens
The TReX supports AES 256-bit encrypted messages across locally managed or existing nationwide paging systems. This means that tsunami and emergency alerts can be securely activated with very low cost and complexity. Industry leading encryption means that malicious unauthorized interference is not possible without encryption key access.
WTE systems also allow for low cost home alerting units to be installed - also suitable for the deaf community, allowing lights to flash during an emergency evacuation situation.

Bespoke Systems
WTE engineers have developed and deployed mining, road and railway worksite safety systems. Examples listed below.
- Mining Safe Zone Alerts.
In this system transceivers were developed that were placed in the cab of each mining vehicle. Alerts could be raised by any vehicle within a work zone to stop all activity in a mining zone in critical conditions. - Railway Worksite Safety Systems.
Railroad work gangs needed a system to provide early notification of locomotives and smaller rail vehicles traveling through railroad lines under repair. Although safety signage was used to stop vehicles from entering an active worksite, these signs could not be fully relied on.
This is a large system developed by WTE engineers and deployed within New Zealand. This system used rail sensors that were developed to determine the direction and speed of a vehicle traveling on the rails towards a worksite. Transmitters attached to these rail sensors (placed a long distance from the worksite) would transmit a message to the crew and raise alarms should a vehicle approach the worksite without authority. Repeaters on the worksite would send voice and paging messages to crew within proximity of the site to ensure that adequate coverage to all crew was provided. - Road Worksite Safety System
A roading company needed a safety system that could be used across multi-lane roads to provide an early warning alarm should a vehicle enter a closed section of road without authority. Signage was deemed insufficient to restrict this access.
WTE engineers developed a new type of relocatable vehicle sensor technology, that worked effectively to detect the passing of vehicles at high speed over many lanes.
Transmitters were developed to operate alarms at a distance from a worksite to provide early notification to work-crews.
