Technology delivers endless benefits to all our industries and the three tools that we will be discussing in this post are proof of it. Three valuable tools that support the different tasks performed by operators at our workspaces, protecting them from absent-mindedness or distractions and ultimately improving job safety and reducing accidents at work.

1. The T-10 R Badge, an adaptation of the inventive T-10R tag with the additional feature of being a card holder. In other words, the operator only carries one single object which includes two key elements: the safety tag and the personal identification card. These help prevent errors caused by forgetfulness, loss or distraction which, in many cases are the main cause of accidents or related problems.
   
   
2. The LSA Solution, an electronic safety system designed to limit the speed at which forklifts circulate. It complements the safety tools of cargo vehicles, and it reduces their speed in areas with operators or pedestrians. This solution is installed on the forklift and it automatically detects where speed limitation signals are located, generating the corresponding change in the vehicle’s gear without the need for human action, and thus protecting pedestrians and preventing accidents.
   
   
3. The TCS Solution, a Traffic Control System which segregates pedestrians and forklifts in a joint workspace. The TCS System does not depend on batteries or mobile devices, and it works completely passively – it does not require human attention. The TZ2-Tag devices are installed in warehouses to detect vehicles equipped with the AC-50 Activator. Traffic lights, signal beacons, safety gates and railings are also installed to segregate pedestrians, achieving exceptionally good results in preventing accidents and improving occupational safety in industries.

After a long two-year break caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic, the team at Claitec will once again be present at the Logimat fair, held this year in the city of Stuttgart from May 31 to June 2.

During these last two years of absence, we have made great progress and developed various new solutions and products that enhance safety in our work environments, prevent accidents and optimise and improve the safety and health of operators within industrial spaces. Our participation in Logimat 2022 is a great opportunity to share these new developments and exchange ideas with the most important and innovative firms in the world.           

If you are planning on attending the fair, please come and visit us at stand G16 in Hall 10 where our ground-breaking solutions will be on display for you to explore up close and to help you visualise their functioning and potential for improving safety in your work environments.

These are some of the products we will be presenting at LOGIMAT 2022:

• Crossing Guard, a device that is installed at high levels in warehouses to help prevent collisions at intersections.
• PSG Gate, a safety gate designed to reduce risk situations in these environments.
•  Virtual safety gate, a virtual gate which, upon detecting a forklift, it projects a line on the ground to indicate crossing is not permitted.
• AV-30 Verification Antenna, the purpose of this device is to verify the status of the batteries and the functioning of the RF communication of the active tags in a workspace.
• Wireless charging station. A charger designed to supply 12 Tags T-10R. It is particularly useful for companies with large teams.
• The Safeyu system: a product that allows a logistics company to ensure, control and record the safety of its workers, thus minimising any risk.
• Claitec’s Copilot: a touch screen device with multiple settings used to make a safety verification checklist before using a forklift -, it can give permissions to drivers, view the detection of forklifts and people or find out if the vehicle has had a collision, among other uses.
• The impact sensor: a device that detects impacts and it sends them for registration in the Claitec Copilot.
• In addition, we will also be displaying the demonstration cases of the CAS-G2, PAS and LSA.
  
  

We are looking forward to seeing you all soon again!

If you have any doubts or queries before, during or after the event, please don’t hesitate to contact us, we are always happy to help!

As we launch into a brand new year, there’s no better time to take stock of what 2021 left for us – a year full of emotions and challenges still marked by the impact of the pandemic throughout the world.

The collective feeling is that these have been challenging and uncertain times but we also feel they’ve brought us closer together and compelled us to work with greater confidence to add efficiency and safety to all our processes.

So, today, we would like to look back and review some of the innovative solutions Claitec developed in 2021 which are already being incorporated by our clients with great success into their work routines.

• The Roof Radar is a safety system that automatically reduces the speed of a vehicle as it enters a building. When the radar detects a ceiling, it immediately selects the low speed on the vehicle until it leaves that space again.
  
• The MT-50 tag is a device that bands together the functions of the TT-50, TZ-TAG, TZ2-TAG (BI/UNI). It performs the same functions of all of these did plus adding improvements in power capacity – RF and LF typical of a T-10R -, among other things. With these devices, a safety perimeter can be delimited in a physical space, without the need to have people with the T-10 key rings as was previously necessary.
  
• The active inhibitor consists of an electronic device that is installed next to the driver’s seat to inhibit his/her keys when entering the vehicle. This way, the drivers’ keyring is not detected and for the rest of the systems it will appear that only the forklift is circulating, thus avoiding the common crossed detections problems that tend to reduce effectiveness and pace of work.
  
  

Thanks to the trust that clients like yourself place on Claitec and thanks to the constant exchanges we have we our clients, we have thrived through another year together.

Now, it’s time to work towards an even better 2022!

Thank you, best wishes for 2022 and let’s continue facing new challenges together!

This Wednesday, April 28 marks another World Day for Safety and Health at Work, and at Claitec we could not agree more with the motto that the International Labor Organization (ILO) proposes this year: “anticipate, prepare and respond to crises” as well as with its call to “invest today in resilient occupational health and safety systems”.

According to the organisation itself, the Covid-19 pandemic has forced us all to face unprecedented challenges which have severely impacted our workspaces. Given this current situation we need our workplaces to be resilient and to able to cope with this type of crises, both today and in the future. And we need to be able to learn from these experiences and make the most of them.

In turn, this date is a good opportunity to put a focus on the importance of anticipating problems, preparing for, and strengthening our health and safety systems in our workplaces. We need to understand that investment in health and safety at work brings immediate benefits and it allows us to preserve a firm’s most precious asset – the integrity of each of the members of our teams.

Similarly, we should also talk about the leading role acquired by technological solutions that have helped us respond to new needs and highlight the great contribution technology makes in the construction of safer and healthier spaces – from accident prevention to helping avoid further contagion, for instance.

In this sense, at Claitec we are immensely proud to have contributed with the development of a solution that ensures social distancing – the T-10R SD (Social Distance Sensor). Based on the older T-10R, the T-10R SD incorporates a modification designed to alert operators when the programmed safety distance between people in the same room is breached.

This innovative tool focuses on monitoring proximity, in such a way as to maintain the established physical distance between people, helping us preventing contagions. The technology applied in this device is also used to avoid vehicle collisions in the CAS-G2 tool and can be combined with the PAS system, designed to warn drivers when an operator is detected nearby.

In conclusion, on this World Day for Safety and Health at Work, we call for all of us to continue to be responsible and innovative in our search for workspaces with fewer workplace accidents and fewer daily risks. That is where we place our efforts, and we know that by working together we can achieve great results.

On many occasions, the incorporation of technology to our industries is seen as a problem or a challenge, at the very least. Many people and many fields are guided by false misconceptions about the use of technology in different jobs. The notion that technology is here to displace workers and their tasks is one such misconception.

However, it is important to respond to these new situations with calm and information and trying to understand that most of these tools are not designed to displace anyone’s job, but rather, to complement, assist and help people optimise their performance.

1. Assistance in the event of forgetfulness: We are all humans and inevitably we make mistakes. When we apply technology to our workspaces it assists us in preventing that those moments of distraction end up having serious repercussions at work, causing accidents or losses we can regret. The T-10R Badge tag is a clear example of this. An adaptation of the T-10R tag , this device is also a card holder which allows the operator to carry only one object that includes both the security tag and the personal identification card. Thanks to this technology any possible human errors, oversights, or losses – which are generally the causes of accidents or similar problems – are easily  prevented.
   
   
2. Accident response: We all take our accident prevention role very seriously. However, accidents do happen and in those cases we need to have the tools to respond and continue to preserve the health and safety of our people. That’s why at Claitec we have developed a range of tools that are activated only when the operator has an accident. One of these is the FPS (Fall Protection System). In the event of a worker falling, this device automatically and instantaneously stops the machine from operating, thus preventing even greater risks.
   
   
3. Overall support: Technology is a very intelligent ally to lend us a hand when humans can’t find the solution to very challenging situations. To illustrate this, let us talk about the PAS and LSA devices. Both of these can be easily adapted to work at -30°C, providing safety for workers in these harsh environments and thus preventing nasty accidents.

In the first few weeks of this new year there still seem to be many questions and challenges ahead, but we also feel extremely proud to have overcome an exceedingly difficult 2020. We are leaving behind a year no one could have imagined it would be that hard and complex, a year that changed our routines, that put us to the test and impacted us all very closely one way or another. A year, however, that also helped us to learn, to appreciate the importance of being united and to show care and concern for those around us.

Now, as we begin a new year, we consider it important look at the positive side of what we left behind and review some of the achievements of the team at Claitec:

First, in 2020 we were able to develop some highly innovative systems with great contribution to occupational safety, such as the Crossing Guard, a device that gets installed in the upper areas of a warehouse to help avoid collisions at intersections.

Similarly, the VAS System, an innovative system that warns pedestrians and/or forklift drivers in risk situations by projecting signals on the ground. These are just two of the many innovations developed by Claitec.

In addition, we also developed the new PAS Plug & Play System (Connection Box), an evolution of the classic PAS System with the main novelty being that the entire system works with connectors and it is extremely easy to install. This system also includes the so-called Connection Box, a tool that allows to feed and interconnect different Claitec solutions, such as the PAS and CAS-G2, as well as to associate and configure different alert elements such as a pilot light, buzzer or signal Slow Down.

Then, and considering the multiple challenges posed by the pandemic, we are also proud that we were able to respond with tools tailored to these very specific needs. For example, we devised the TAG T-10R SD (Social Distance sensor), based on our T-10R system, but modifying it to alert workers when the programmed safety distance between people working in the same room is not respected. We also shared multiple recommendations to maintain hygiene and health in workspaces.

Thus, thanks to your trust, and thanks to the conviction that we were able to achieve great progress working together, we have gone through and overcome an extremely difficult year, and we are now ready to build a great 2021 together. We are 100% sure that by being together and taking care each other, we can overcome any challenge.

So, cheers! For all our achievements and for everything that lies ahead!

On behalf of the entire Claitec team, we wish you a great 2021!
