Machinery found in industrial environments like crushers, presses, recycling plants, etc. can pose a high risk to workers in case of mishaps like falls or blackouts. These can lead to serious accidents and yet, we are often unaware of the existence of effective safety systems to prevent such eventualities.


While our first safety measure starts with the appropriate training of authorised personnel to ensure compliance in accessing and using these machines, it’s important to remember that we are all humans and there’s always bound to be distractions, recklessness, or unexpected factors, such as falls or blackouts.


The Hazardous Areas (HA) developed by Claitec has been specifically designed for this type of situations.


The HA Solution is an activator installed on a machine which stops its operation if a worker is detected on the conveyor belt. To be detected, workers must carry a personal tag – such as the T-10R, a device we have recently discussed on this blog.


The HA solution also requires a control box that constantly verifies the correct functioning of the system.


Claitec has implemented the HA system in more than 100 plants, allowing us to verify its effectiveness and, most importantly, helping us identify the areas where we can make continuous improvements to increase overall safety at work. Our latest version features many enhanced functionalities over its previous versions.


We invite you to learn more about this system by visiting our website and to contact us should you have any questions or enquiries. Our expert team members will be happy to assist you!

The T-10R enables detection by forklifts in shared work environments, preventing potential collisions of workers with forklifts.  
That’s why, to stay safe, it’s crucial for everyone to carry one such device. This personal tag is an evolution of its predecessor, the T-10, offering additional layers of security:

• Increased luminous signals
• Sound warnings when an imminent danger is detected,
• Immediate alert to both forklift drivers equipped with the PAS (Pedestrian Alert System) and pedestrians carrying this little ally, ensuring their safety at all times.
• Vibration alert in case of reduced audibility, even for the most distracted individuals!

Besides improving detection efficiency, this technological evolution also offers various technical enhancements such as longer battery life or wireless charging capability, among other functions.


All these improvements and functionalities make this small tag an almost essential complement when it comes to pedestrian safety. Thanks to the T-10R, and instant communication is established between the forklift operator and pedestrians, mutually alerting them to each other’s presence.


This not only reduces the risk of accidents, but it also fosters a safer and more efficient work environment, where the coexistence between machinery and personnel is managed proactively. Prevention is key to avoiding potentially dangerous situations and ensuring harmony in the workplace.

Workplace safety is not just a priority – it is the backbone that supports operational efficiency and the well-being of workers. For Claitec, a company specialised in the development of advanced safety devices, constant evolution is the key to staying one step ahead of emerging challenges.
In this article, we’d like to explore five solutions designed by our team to transform safety in warehouses.

These improvements will not only strengthen the occupational safety of your company but will also open the door to a new way of using advanced technology to your advantage.


1. Integration of Intelligent Systems:

Have you thought of implementing a centralised system that integrates all your safety devices?
For instance: radars, security doors, identity verification devices, and personal sensors, working all together…This is precisely what our Safeyu platform will do for you.

The efficient coordination of all these devices will enhance the detection and response to potential risk situations.

2. Identity Verifiers:

Enhance security in warehouse access by implementing identity verification for authorised personnel. By combining devices such as our T-10R with the AV-30 antenna you’ll be ensuring that only authorised individuals have access to specific areas.

3. Automated Response Systems:

And how about implementing automated response systems that act immediately in emergency situations?
For example, doors that block access in dangerous situations like our PSG (Pedestrian Safety Gate) or radars that activate audible and visual alarms.

Automation can considerably reduce response time to critical incidents.

4. Speed Regulation:

By implementing devices that intelligently regulate the speed of forklifts such as the LSA (Low Speed Area) solution developed by Claitec and using sensor technology, you can monitor environmental conditions and automatically adjust the forklift’s speed to avoid collisions, especially in high-traffic areas or where pedestrians are present.

5. Predictive Maintenance of Forklifts:

You can also implement predictive maintenance systems to monitor the condition of forklifts. In a recent article, we discussed our Copilot solution and its checklist functionality that can anticipate potential failures or maintenance needs, allowing planned interventions and reducing the risk of accidents due to unforeseen mechanical issues.


In the constant pursuit of improvement in safety and operational efficiency in warehouses, the implementation of advanced technologies emerges as the path to a risk-free future.

Each innovation has a clear purpose: to transform the work environment, protecting lives and safeguarding the integrity of individuals.

We continue expanding our team.

Today, we are pleased to welcome Maciej, who joins Claitec’s commercial department as a Technical Support Engineer.


Maciej has completed his degree in Automation and Robotics at the Poznan University of Technology, Poland..


He has extensive experience in the implementation and programming of logical controls, as well as in control systems, both in industrial plants dedicated to water processing and in facilities specialized in wood processing.


In his free time, Maciej enjoys traveling on his motorcycle or practicing cycling. Additionally, he has a keen interest in learning languages and has recently discovered his passion for dance, practicing Salsa and Bachata.


We extend a warm welcome to Maciej!

Numerous factors can lead to hazardous situations in areas where pedestrians and forklifts interact frequently. And while there are a number of different solutions to help mitigate these risks, choosing the most suitable option for a specific issue can be complex and it requires a professional and experienced vision. Vision the experts at Claitec will be glad to share with you in guiding you towards the solution that will best reduce potential risks in your workplace.


The Visual Alert System is also a highly effective tool to assist you in minimising workplace risks.

Designed by our team of professionals, the Visual Alert System (VAS) projects high-intensity, bright visual signals to warn pedestrians and drivers of potential dangers in their vicinity.


The applications of this system are broad, particularly in areas of limited mobility, where a chance encounter due to lack of visibility can occur in a matter of seconds. Such is the case of narrow aisles with blind spots and the presence of ambient noise that hinders the detection of nearby vehicles.


This solution presents different options regarding intensity and choice of projected image.

Additionally, it can be complemented with other solutions developed by Claitec, such as the Pedestrian Alert System (PAS), increasing its effectiveness by detecting pedestrians or forklifts and alerting them to the presence of colleagues manoeuvring and walking nearby.


In summary, the VAS system is a good example of how effective signalling can significantly contribute to preventing accidents in industrial environments and in any place where pedestrians and vehicles interact regularly.
