When a truck is loaded or unloaded, critical situations can easily arise. Vehicles and people work closely together in a small space, and it should be fast. In the worst case, it can lead to property damage or even personal injury. But it's not just loading situations that require a lot of attention from everyone involved. Blind spots, poor visibility and distracting sounds are a constant safety risk in intralogistics.

Safety Guard is an innovative support system that increases the safety of truck drivers and pedestrians moving around the truck. The system warns in risky situations so that those involved can react quickly. Depending on the application and device, the Safety Guard components can warn with signals, flashing lights or vibrations. The risk can be minimized before people or materials are damaged.

Any logistics operator will also be familiar with this situation: Walking along an aisle of shelves, lost in thought, sometimes it is only at the last moment that you notice a forklift or other equipment in the immediate vicinity. A dangerous situation that can have serious consequences.

An interactive warning vest protects pedestrians in warehouse and production environments by alerting them when they approach moving trucks. This intelligent garment with a tactile, audible and visible warning function helps to prevent collisions between forklift trucks and pedestrians, which occur quite often.

When you put on the vest, you also take the support system with you. The garment is equipped with LED strips on the front and back, which are constantly lit at 40 percent of the nominal power, even under normal conditions. If there is danger from an approaching vehicle, the LED strips switch to a flashing mode and increase the brightness to 200 percent of rated power. This is difficult to overlook and provides precise security.
