Collision warning upgrade
The Collision Sentry collision warning system was designed to create a safer working environment in industrial settings by reducing or eliminating “blind corner” collisions that occur when forklift traffic and pedestrian traffic intersect. Like a traffic light, Collision Sentry provides a visual warning to drivers and pedestrians that traffic is around the corner.
Initially introduced a little more than a year ago, the Collision Sentry has undergone several upgrades to improve the efficiency of the unit and its operation. These upgrades include a redesigned circuit board with digital output; a faster initial flash pattern designed to attract more attention; updated optics to reduce possible cross-aisle false triggers.
Collision Sentry provides a visual warning that alerts forklift drivers and pedestrians to approaching traffic by using infrared motion detectors to “see” around corners. When motion is detected on both sides of the corner – meaning a collision is possible – LED warning lights signal in both directions that there is traffic around the corner.
