Aramco-Approved 77GHz Radar PWAS for Industrial Safety

The Ultimate Collision Avoidance System for Heavy Equipment in Saudi Arabia

Product Overview

SafeTech Radar-Based Proximity Warning Alert System (PWAS) is an advanced workplace safety solution designed to prevent accidents in industrial environments. Using 77GHz millimeter-wave radar, this system provides real-time obstacle detection, even in extreme conditions such as dust storms, sandstorms, heavy rain, dense fog, and poor lighting.


Built for Saudi Arabia’s harsh environments, SafeTech’s Radar PWAS provides reliable, all-weather collision avoidance for heavy equipment—trusted by Aramco, SABIC, and SADARA as a critical hazard prevention tool.

Key Features

Fully Aramco, NEOM & SABIC Compliant

Meet and exceed the highest industry safety standards with a certified system that ensures regulatory compliance and is mandatory for work on the Kingdom’s most critical projects.

Unmatched All-Weather Performance

Our 77GHz radar technology works reliably in all challenging conditions—dust storms, heavy rain, dense fog, total darkness, and extreme desert heat. It performs perfectly when cameras fail, making it essential for desert conditions and high temperatures.

Penetrates Dust and Obstructions

Unlike cameras, radar signals pass through smoke, dirt, and other visual blocks, making it the only reliable choice for harsh, low-visibility industrial sites where poor visibility compromises safety.

Full 360° Seamless Coverage

We eliminate all dangerous blind spots with a proven fusion of radar sensors and camera technology for complete situational awareness and blind spot monitoring.

Expert Local
Support

Our team provides on-site installation, calibration, and operator training in both Arabic and English across Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and the entire Kingdom, ensuring proper safety protocols implementation.

Zero Downtime Fleet Integration

Our PWAS systems seamlessly integrate with existing fleet management software, GPS tracking, and telematics without disrupting operations—enabling remote monitoring, real-time alerts to supervisors, and comprehensive safety reporting across your entire operation from a single dashboard.

Regional Applications

Saudi Arabia’s accelerated industrial expansion under Vision 2030 demands uncompromising safety solutions tailored to each region’s unique challenges. Our Radar PWAS addresses these specific requirements in key industrial cities of the Middle East:

Riyadh

Dammam

Jubail

NEOM

Technology Comparison

Understanding the core technology helps you choose the right safety system for your environment and safety goals. While AI cameras are useful for identifying objects, 77GHz Radar excels at reliably detecting them in all conditions, making it superior for accident prevention and risk mitigation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the fundamental difference between Radar PWAS and AI Camera systems?

Radar PWAS utilizes advanced 77GHz radio waves to detect any physical object with exceptional reliability, particularly in Saudi Arabia’s challenging visibility conditions. AI Camera PWAS systems rely on visual data to identify object types. For maximum safety in Kingdom environments like Riyadh, Dammam, Jubail, and NEOM, we strongly recommend radar-based systems for their superior performance in adverse conditions.

How effectively does a Radar PWAS operate during Saudi sandstorms or heavy dust conditions?

Our system performs flawlessly during Saudi’s severe shamal conditions. The 77GHz radar signals penetrate dust, sand, fog, and rain effortlessly, providing consistent and reliable alerts when visual systems completely fail – making it absolutely essential for desert operations in Riyadh and NEOM.

Is your Radar PWAS officially approved for deployment at Aramco sites?

Yes. Our system meets and exceeds Aramco’s rigorous technical standards and is currently deployed across multiple Aramco facilities in the Eastern Province (Dammam/Jubail) and other regions throughout the Kingdom.

What types of heavy equipment can accommodate your Radar PWAS installation?

Our system is compatible with virtually all machinery used in Saudi projects: Haul Trucks for mining operations in Riyadh, Dumpers for construction activities in NEOM, Excavators for infrastructure development in Dammam, Loaders for logistics operations in Jubail, Cranes for vertical construction projects, and specialized Port and Oilfield Vehicles.

What is the typical timeline for installation and operator training?

Standard installation is efficiently completed within 2–4 hours per vehicle, including comprehensive calibration and operator training in Arabic or English – specifically designed to minimize downtime on critical projects in Riyadh, Dammam, Jubail, and NEOM.

Is the system sufficiently durable for Saudi mining and construction site conditions?

Absolutely. Our IP69K-rated sensors are specifically engineered to withstand Saudi’s fine desert dust in Riyadh, high-pressure water cleaning in Jubail, and extreme vibrations common in NEOM’s large-scale construction operations.
