Sense of safety September 1st 2009 Elettric 80's end-of-line automation
solutions can automate parts, or the
whole, of an end-of-line process to
create a safer warehouse environment.
Transportation within the
warehouse is carried out by Laser
Guided Vehicles, LGVs, equipped with
advanced safety technology such as
PLS (Proximity Laser Scanning)
which continuously scans the
immediate surrounding area, dividing
it into two safety zones.When an
obstacle is detected in the outer zone,
the LGV slows down. If the obstacle
remains and enters the inner zone, the
vehicle stops completely, until the
obstacle is removed.
Compared to environments with
manual, diesel-powered fork lift
trucks, Freeway environments are said
to be safer due to reliable technology,
and are free from exhaust fumes. More articles from Elettric 80 AB: |
