In a bold move towards safer equipment and smarter technology, Midlands-based equipment firm Cooks Midlands has started a trial of the Onsight AI Pedestrian Kit, bringing cutting-edge pedestrian detection and near-miss analysis technology to the region.
Why This Trial Matters
With pedestrian safety an ongoing priority across the UK’s leading construction sites, the ability to capture accurate behavioural data is crucial. Traditional collision statistics only tell part of the story, near misses, risky manoeuvres, and behaviour patterns often go unrecorded. Onsight AI closes that gap.
For Cooks Midlands, the trial represents an opportunity to:
- Demonstrate leadership in adopting forward-thinking safety tech
- Provide customers with cutting-edge, evidence-based solutions
- Strengthen partnerships with innovators like H-TEC
- Set a benchmark for future deployments across the Midlands and beyond
Looking Ahead
If successful, the trial could pave the way for wider adoption of the Onsight AI Pedestrian Kit across the sector where pedestrian interaction poses a risk. Cooks Midlands’ investment in intelligent safety solutions reflects a broader industry move towards proactive, data-driven decision-making and the company’s growing momentum suggests this trial may be just the beginning.
Strengthening a Long-Standing Partnership
The project also marks a new milestone in the ongoing collaboration between Cooks Midlands and H-TEC.
Speaking about the trial, H-TEC Director Emma Burdett said:
“H-TEC and Cooks have worked together for several years. I am delighted to confirm that this is our first trial with the Onsight kit, and I am equally delighted to hear the feedback that Cooks have for us, in the hope that this will be commissioned across their business as their go-to product offering for new and existing customers.”
