Smart Guard for Warehouse Pallet Racking

RAXPRO LTD正在开发一种简单，有效和独特的产品，警告仓库工业卡车操作员，当他们靠近机架直立时，目的是减少损害和费用。在使用工业叉车和托盘货架的仓库中，由于叉车或托盘负载的冲击，可能会对货架部件造成损坏。托盘货架最脆弱、最容易损坏的部件是货架下部支撑立柱。叉车操作员可能不知道造成了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不可避免的后果。据保守估计，全英国托盘架维修费用每年超过1000万英镑。该开发项目将现有技术以一种新颖的方式结合起来，提供有效的解决方案，以减少损坏，提高起重机操作员的技能和安全行为。最初的原型机已经在潜在客户中进行了测试。该项目根据客户的输入为产品版本开发功能和特性。该产品独一无二，没有直接竞争对手。已经申请了专利。该产品的主要目的是通过允许操作员在听到或看到警告时采取避免行动来减少冲击和接触。该产品可以很容易地安装在托盘架上。声音警报使“差点错过”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表现。该产品预计在英国和国际上都有广泛的吸引力。

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.
