Proximity warning systems
WITH MORE inventory being held in warehouses due to the ‘Brexit’ effect and global supply chain issues, warehouse operators are under increasing pressure to maintain a safe and efficient site, not just for staff, but also to protect both the items held and the building’s infrastructure.
Pedestrian warning systems are a widely used technology to safeguard against collisions and accidents between forklift trucks and staff operating within the warehouse space. However, combining this technology with additional safety features targeted against collisions with stock and infrastructure can significantly enhance overall site safety.
Proximity Warning Systems offer significant benefits for warehouse operations by integrating technologies across forklift trucks, pedestrians and building infrastructure. These systems combine elements such as an integrated, adaptive speed control fitted to the forklift trucks which is then triggered by sensors in designated zones within the warehouse. This is matched with beacons in the corresponding areas and doorways which will alert pedestrians that there is a truck in the vicinity.
