Safety in the workplace? Actively address it!

In the logistics sector, where people and machines interact intensively on a daily basis, safety is an absolute necessity. Troax, known for its reliable machine guards, warehouse walls and fall-through protection, is fully committed to proactive safety with its Active Safety solutions. From smart warning systems to innovative traffic control, these solutions make a difference where it really counts - where pedestrians and warehouse vehicles cross.

Although classic safety products such as fences and barriers remain essential, a modern working environment requires more than physical barriers. Especially in loading and unloading areas or busy warehouses, it is crucial to identify hazards early and prevent accidents before they happen. Troax's Active Safety solutions combine technology with practical experience. They are designed for everyday applications in industry, from warehouses to production facilities.

Smart technology protects pedestrians

In an industrial environment, pedestrians are vulnerable, especially on shared work floors. With the Pedestrian Alert System, Troax detects pedestrians near moving forklifts. As soon as a pedestrian comes into range, the driver is alerted via a visual or audible signal. The technology also distinguishes between people and objects - thus increasing safety without unnecessary interruptions.

A visual complement to this is the Visual Alert System. Think of projections or light signals on the floor or walls that warn in real time of approaching traffic. This keeps both pedestrians and drivers alert in areas with limited visibility or a lot of movement. This system is also often used in loading and unloading zones, where unexpected movements of people and vehicles can lead to dangerous situations.

Intersections are also being addressed with the Pedestrian Crossing System and the Crossing Guard. These systems activate traffic lights and warning signals as soon as a forklift or pedestrian approaches. The interaction between man and machine is thus controlled and without surprises. The Crossing Guard also integrates seamlessly with other solutions within Active Safety to create a cohesive safety network within your company.

Maneuvering the forklift safely

The forklift is one of the biggest risk factors in the workplace. With the Collision Avoidance System, drivers gain a better understanding of the presence and position of other vehicles around them. This makes safe driving decisions easier, especially in congested or cluttered areas.

In turn, the Blind Spot System improves visibility in hard-to-reach areas. Via sensors and light signals, both drivers and pedestrians are warned of dangers outside the
view.

There are also systems that automatically adjust the speed of vehicles. The Low-Speed Area System uses RFID tags to slow forklifts in predefined zones. That way, you reduce risk without the driver having to actively intervene. The system is compatible with different makes and models of forklifts, which facilitates implementation.

A special application is the Narrow Aisle System, which is specially designed for narrow aisles. LEDs and sensors prevent collisions. The system is also applicable in automated warehouses and automated logistics processes.

Traffic flows smartly controlled 

Where people and vehicles intersect, clear traffic flow is essential. Troax's Traffic Control System offers a complete solution with traffic lights, signs and sensors. This not only regulates traffic but also guides it in real time. Combined with other Active Safety systems, this creates robust protection for high-risk areas.

The strength of these solutions lies in their mutual compatibility. They can be combined, adapted and expanded according to the company's needs. For example, you can link the Collision Avoidance System with the Visual Alert System to detect approaching traffic as well as provide visual warnings.

Safe loading and unloading

Last but not least, active safety is also necessary in the dock area. With the Truck Docking System and the November dock gate, you make loading and unloading procedures safer and more efficient. The dock gate, made of flexible polyethylene, absorbs impact and returns to its original shape after impact. The built-in safety spring prevents the gate from suddenly folding down, significantly reducing the risk of injury.

Combined with visual signaling, this system increases safety for both personnel and vehicles. With easy installation and compatibility with other d-flexx products, you can quickly upgrade a loading zone to a safer workplace.
