Smart Guard for Warehouse Pallet Racking

RAXPRO LTD正在开发一种简单，有效和独特的产品，当仓库工业卡车操作员靠近直立的货架时，它会发出警告，目的是减少损坏和费用。在使用工业叉车和托盘货架的仓库中，由于叉车或起重机负载的影响，货架组件可能会发生损坏。最脆弱和经常损坏的托盘货架组件是较低的货架支撑立柱。叉车操作员可能不知道造成损坏或不愿意报告损坏。托盘货架的损坏通常被认为是使用工业叉车操作仓库的不可避免的后果。保守估计，英国各地的托盘货架维修费用每年超过1000万英镑。该开发项目以新颖的方式将现有技术结合在一起，提供有效的解决方案，以减少损坏并提高叉车操作员的技能和安全行为。初步原型已经与潜在客户进行了测试。该项目开发的功能和功能的生产版本作为客户输入的结果。该产品是独一无二的，没有直接的竞争。已申请专利。该产品的主要目的是通过允许操作员在听到和/或视觉警告时采取回避行动来减少冲击和接触。该产品可以很容易地安装在托盘货架直立。声音警报使“险中之险”变得明显，这是第一次可以纳入现有的仓库安全管理实践，并提高叉车操作员的绩效。该产品预计将在英国和国际上具有广泛的吸引力。

RAXPRO LTD is developing a simple, effective and unique product that warns warehouse industrial truck operators when they are in close proximity with a rack upright, with the aim of reducing damage and expense.In warehouses using industrial lift trucks and pallet racking, damage can occur to rack components due to lift truck or pallet-load impact. The most vulnerable and frequently damaged pallet rack components are the lower rack support uprights.Lift truck operators may be unaware of causing damage or unwilling to report damage. Damage to pallet racking is generally accepted as an unavoidable consequence of operating a warehouse with industrial lift trucks. The expense of pallet rack repairs across the UK is conservatively estimated to be in excess of £10m/annum.This development project brings together existing technology in a novel way to provide an effective solution to reduce damage and improve lift truck operator skills and safety behaviour. An initial prototype has been tested with potential customers. This project develops the functionality and features for a production version as a result of customer input.The product is unique with no direct competition. A patent has been applied for. This product's principle purpose is simply to reduce impact and contact by allowing the operator to take avoiding action as a result of an audible and or visual warning. The product can be readily fitted over the pallet rack upright. The audible alert makes evident a 'near miss' and this for the first time can be included into existing warehouse safety management practice and improve lift truck operator performance. The product is anticipated to have wide appeal both in the UK and Internationally.
