Collision warning system
The Collision Sentry collision warning system from Sentry Protection Products has been 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.
Initially introduced a little more than a year ago, the Collision Sentry has undergone several upgrades designed to improve both the efficiency of the unit and its operation. 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.
