OXFORD, England, Oct. 8, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Salunda Limited, a specialist in Red Zone safety technology for upstream drilling and other harsh industrial environments, has seen significant growth in its patent portfolio, particularly in the realm of Red Zone monitoring.

This marks a substantial increase from the 16 patents it held at the start of 2025.
The company's global portfolio now stands at 140 granted patents, with Red Zone monitoring accounting for four of the five patents granted this year. Salunda's Red Zone portfolio spans major jurisdictions including North America, Europe, South America, Asia, and Australia, with 13 granted US patents. Recent grants include:

Salunda's HaloGuard® uses AI-powered 3D ranging cameras to detect and locate people in hazardous zones and in the vicinity of energized equipment, with no wearables required. Optional wearable devices identify each crew member's role, manage authorized and restricted access, pause machinery, and deliver instant personal alerts to anyone at risk.
HaloGuard® integrates seamlessly with equipment to prevent line-of-fire incidents. Hardware integrations detect energized equipment and trigger instant alerts for at-risk personnel. Software integrations stream equipment status and position to create fully dynamic zones. Automated operations can be triggered, improving crew safety while minimizing downtime. Built-in analytics add heatmaps, zone violation trends, and playback, helping customers spot risk patterns and sharpen coaching, training, and toolbox talks.
Salunda now has dozens of Red Zone monitoring systems deployed across five regions worldwide, with deployments on more than 100 assets.
