Industrial safety systems are designed through rigorous studies that identify potential risks and prevent accidents. This foundation allows us to develop and implement effective solutions tailored to our clients’ needs.
But what happens when a specific situation in a particular zone prevents the implementation of standard solutions? When customisation is essential to meet unique safety requirements, it becomes vital to have adaptable solutions and a team committed to finding the best approach.


At Claitec, a proud member of the Troax Group, we offer this differentiating value. Our experienced team works closely with clients, analysing each case in depth, testing solutions, and ensuring continuous follow-up for optimal performance. Choosing Claitec is not just about acquiring a product; it’s about partnering with a dedicated team that strives to exceed expectations.


A Practical Example of Customisation (post image)


In one case, operators working at heights within a protective cage, elevated by a vehicle, faced significant risk. When lowering the cage, they couldn’t always see if a colleague was in the danger zone beneath.
To address this, we adapted our Pedestrian Alert System (PAS) with:


1. PAS installed on the vehicle.

2. An MT-50 activator placed in the manoeuvring area.

3. A warning light on the protective cage.

4. Personal T-10R tags for pedestrians.


The system ensures that if a pedestrian with a tag enters the danger zone, the PAS triggers the MT-50, activating the light or sound warning on the cage and alerting the operator to take precautions. This level of customisation is only possible with a creative and experienced team capable of thinking beyond standard solutions. At Claitec, we see every challenge as an opportunity to learn and improve.

Forklifts greatly facilitate work in warehouses and industrial areas, especially in places where cargo transportation is constant. However, they also pose a significant risk and, unfortunately, are responsible for most accidents in these environments.In this post, we share five solutions developed by Claitec that help optimise safety in workspaces where forklift circulate. Claitec has developed many other solutions – and our experts are constantly searching for improvements and identifying situations in which to intervene to prevent accidents at work.

However, for now, we invite you to learn about five of the most popular solutions that significantly improve forklift-related safety.


1-. PAS (Pedestrian alert system):

We have talked extensively about this solution in many of our blog posts. The reason is simple: the purpose of this safety system – one of Claitec’s most important products – is to identify pedestrians that share working spaces with hazardous vehicles in industrial areas. This solution alerts both workers and forklift drivers, allowing them to take the necessary precautions to prevent collisions.

By equipping vehicles with a simple detection system – the AV-50 -, and by equipping workers with a personal tag, it’s possible to avoid accidents and collisions that often have drastic consequences. After years of implementing the system in different industries, the PAS solution has become one of the most effective and demanded solutions developed by the team at Claitec. We all know that people are a company’s main asset and it’s everyone’s duty to do everything in our power to protect them. That’s why the PAS System is our most sought-after safety solution.


2-. LSA (Low speed area):

Another of the main challenges in preventing forklift accidents lies in maintaining the appropriate speed in areas where traffic is fluid, where pedestrians coexist with these vehicles, or in areas of reduced visibility such as warehouse entrances and exits. Speed ​​is a crucial factor in reducing risky situations, many of which can be prevented.

The LSA solution created by Claitec focuses on controlling speed in previously delimited areas through different sensors installed both on the forklifts and in the environment. Its operation is simple and highly effective. Supports equipped with reflective sensors are placed to detect the forklift as it circulates towards an area where it must reduce its speed. Then, the control unit located in the forklift acts by controlling the speed in the entire delimited area. The LSA solution can be adapted to different needs.

At Claitec, we have the experience and the necessary team to study each case individually and offer the best possible solution.


3-. CAS (Collision alert system):

Collisions are also frequent, particularly in spaces with high confluence of traffic and little mobility to manoeuvre. In such circumstances, collisions between vehicles are common and the damage can be high both at the human and economic level.

At Claitec we have developed a solution that addresses this type of risk: the CAS-G2 system. Equipping forklifts with this device helps configure a safety zone around the vehicle. The system then detects the presence of other vehicles in that zone of action which are also equipped with the same CAS system. As soon as the vehicle is detected, the driver receives a visual and audible alert that warns him/her of the presence of another forklift, thus preventing a potential collision. In addition, the sensor can tell different types of machinery apart, such as AGVs. You can find out more about the CAS system by visiting our products section.


4-. HLS (High load sensor):

Good practices in the transportation of goods are essential to prevent risky situations. One of the factors that often contributes to causing potential dangers is an excess of load. When the transported material exceeds the height previously configured to meet the environment’s physical characteristics, the HLS sensor warns drivers of the excess load, allowing them to take the necessary precautions.

The high load or a load above the recommended weight/height is usually the cause of collisions with the structure of the manoeuvre area, either due to lack of visibility, a miscalculation, or a driver’s oversight. With this solution, at Claitec we seek to reduce this type of accident and prevent greater complications.


5-. Copilot:

When we talk about forklifts, it’s important not only to consider the risks involved when they are operational. Forklift maintenance is equally important, since a vehicle in poor condition can provoke many dangerous situations. Claitec has designed a specific solution to control the proper condition of forklifts before use: the Copilot system.

This system performs a periodic check of the status of the forklifts through a series of questions that the driver must verify under their responsibility. Once the status of the vehicle has been verified, the Copilot determines if the machine meets the conditions for safe use. While this is the key function of the Copilot system, its uses and advantages are extensive, including the possibility of configuring it through the Safeyu platform, also developed by Claitec. We’ll delve deeper into this platform in future blog posts.


At a time when technology changes at such a rapid and unpredictable rate, Claitec’s philosophy is to continue creating, researching and contributing all our experience to improve the safety of people in their respective workplaces.

We invite you to discover our many other safety solutions by visiting our products section, and we encourage you to contact us to help you answer any questions you may have, or to make an appointment with our experts. We will be happy to assist you any time!

As we always like to emphasise, Claitec primary goal is to guarantee the safety of workers in their respective workplaces. However, it is equally essential that other users – such as visitors to our facilities – feel equally safe. When someone visits our company, even if they are accompanied by specialised personnel, they are exposed to the same environmental risks as anyone else. Many visitors are unfamiliar with the workspace and its hazard zones, and their occasional curiosity can lead to carelessness, even among infrequent visitors. That’s why, implementing adequate safety measures to protect everyone – without exception – it’s so important.


Not to mention the fact that, if you’re trying to impress potential clients, they’ll be able to experience firsthand the feeling of safety in your work environment. Claitec has designed an innovative device that acts as a personal tag but with the added feature of including a personalised card holder: the T-10R Badge and that is giving very good results when it comes to receiving visitors. This device not only provides an additional layer of security, but it also allows visitors and clients to experience the peace of mind that comes with using our technology..


This system functions as a T-10R tag, allowing the user to be identified at all times by nearby forklifts and equipment. As visitors enter your facilities, they’ll be given a T-10R Badge, thus guaranteeing their safety and protection at all times.


In summary, when addressing safety measures, it is key to consider all the elements involved, without omitting any risk, be it routine or occasional. Claitec has all risks covered – including visitor protection, a very important goal in warehouse safety.

When we think of pedestrians, we tend to imagine people walking freely on the street, adhering to traffic rules and ensuring their safety to prevent accidents. However, pedestrians also exist in industrial areas where they share spaces with a variety of vehicles. In these environments, it is equally crucial to follow safety regulations to protect physical integrity.


Some of these regulations are like those we encounter in our daily lives, but others require a different approach. This is where the PAS (Pedestrian Alert System) developed by Claitec comes in handy. One of our most in-demand solutions, this system has been designed to identify workers in areas where they must share workspaces with vehicles such as forklifts, and where physical separation between them is impossible – that is, areas where the risk of accidents between vehicles and pedestrians is very high.


The number of scenarios where these situations can occur is countless, as each environment has its own unique characteristics. However, in all cases, the solution is the same: to ensure the clear identification of pedestrians. Claitec’s PAS is a personal tag that helps locate them and be detected by forklifts within a configurable safety distance. The forklifts themselves must also be equipped with the PAS system. It is key to emphasise this point, as it is the basis for the system’s proper functioning: the pedestrian must always carry the tag; otherwise, they will NOT be identified.


The tags are small keychains that can be attached to different parts of the work equipment. The pedestrian will barely notice its presence, but this small device will be protecting them at all times, ready to alert them when a danger is nearby. At Claitec, we have developed two different tag models: the T10 and the T10-R, the latter being an evolution of the T10 with notable improvements over its predecessor.


Once the person is correctly equipped, we must also equip the forklifts with an AC-50 activator, which will be responsible for communicating with the tag within its detection range. Of course, the system and its operation require correct installation and configuration, as well as other elements such as range antennas. We could detail the operation of each device, but the purpose, or rather, the message we want to convey in this text is much broader and simpler at the same time: the PAS system protects pedestrians in their workplaces.


However, when we talk about people in motion, the risk is not limited only to cargo vehicles. A frequent example of danger is access to restricted areas by unauthorised personnel. It is common, either due to carelessness or recklessness, for a worker to access areas that require specific preparation and equipment, exposing their safety and that of their colleagues. For this reason, one of the main components of the PAS system – personal tags – is complemented by other solutions created by Claitec to prevent these risks as well.


In these cases, the T-10R also becomes a great ally. For example, it can restrict access to areas where authorisation is required, complementing it with the AV-30 verification antenna and a PSG gate (Pedestrian Safety Gate). Authorised personnel will carry a T-10R to be identified by the security antenna when entering the restricted area. Once the antenna confirms that the person is authorised, it will give the order to lock or unlock the PSG gate.


These are just a few examples of how the PAS system and its devices work, but there are many more applications. At Claitec, we have a team of experts with extensive experience, committed to always providing a solution that fits the needs of each workspace.


We invite you to contact us with any questions or queries, and of course, to visit our website to learn more about solutions that can help improve workplace safety.

In this blog we have talked on many occasions about the PSG (Pedestrian Alert System) door, a solution developed by Claitec to create safer pedestrian crossings and restrict access to restricted areas to authorised personnel only.

In this post, we want to delve deeper into this system as it has become one of our most requested products, demonstrating its effectiveness and reliability in access management in industrial environments.


Easy to operate and with countless advantages, its main function is to distance pedestrians from forklifts by preventing their access them when both are operating in the same area, managing the right of way and avoiding accidents. The PSG communicates with various sensors developed by Claitec, such as the MT-50 to detect forklifts or the AV-30 to restrict access.


The PSG door consists of different components that can be configured in three different models:

1. The most basic option includes an adjustable telescopic door between 70 and 100 cm, together with mounting brackets..
2. The second option adds an RGB beacon that indicates the status of the door by means of light signals. When it is red, the door is blocked; when it changes to green, the area can be accessed without risk.
3. The latest configuration, and of course the most complete, includes a traffic light and an emergency button to unlock the door in case of need. The traffic light, available in two models (with green/red light or with an added pedestrian icon), is highly visible to pedestrians and drivers.

In addition to the safety advantages offered by the PSG itself, its effectiveness can be increased by adding articulated barriers to stop forklifts when the door is unlocked for pedestrians, preventing accidents, for example, due to possible driver carelessness.

Another outstanding function of the pedestrian safety door is to manage access to restricted areas for unauthorised personnel. Lack of control in these areas is common and represents a risk both for workers and for the company. By combining the PSG with the AV-30 verification antenna, we can control these situations effectively, blocking access to restricted areas and allowing entry only to authorised personnel by using a personal T-10R tag.

In short, the PSG is a simple solution that prevents many risks, accidents and misuse of restricted machinery. It not only protects people, but it also optimises production and the safe operation of these spaces.

Should you have any questions on the PSG or any of Claitec’s safety solutions, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Our experts will be happy to assist you.

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.

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.

At Claitec, we are constantly listening to our clients’ feedback as we see this as the only way to be in tune with our their needs and to provide them with flexible and creative solutions that truly enhance their daily operations, strengthen security in workspaces, and prevent many accidents.

It is in this back-and-forth with our customers, in this sincere and productive exchange, that we have discovered that the AV-30 Verification Antenna emerges as a highly valuable tool, as it can also offer solutions for access control in industrial spaces. Specifically, we see that many customers request the AV-30 device to be installed alongside the PSG System – Pedestrian Safety Gate – for access control using T-10R/BADGE tags.


So, to access the protected area, the user must carry the T-10R/BADGE tag, pass near the AV-30 antenna, and gain access, for instance, to the warehouse or restricted workspace. If they don’t have a tag with them, or if the tag’s battery is low or not functioning correctly, the Antenna will not grant permission, and the PSG electromagnet will not open.


Furthermore, in the case of common doors which, are equipped for example with an electromagnetic lock, many of our customers have also chosen to install the AV-30 antenna so that workers entering hazardous or heavily trafficked areas – such as those with forklift traffic -, can only gain access if they carry the tag. This helps prevent risks and reduces workplace accidents.


The AV-30 device stands out on its own merit compared to previous versions. Among other things, it is a more compact solution, capable of performing both functions – verification antenna and access control – seamlessly. It is also easier to install, saving time and increasing efficiency, and it can be wall-mounted or, using accessories, placed on a post.

Warehouses are one of the most important areas in any industry. In a way, they are the neurological centres where workers and machinery converge and where all types of work activity are at its most intense, day and night, often without a pause..

To ensure the efficient management of resources, the overall improvement in operators’ safety and to eradicate work accidents, it’s vital that a strategic planning of our industrial warehouses be carried out.
A comprehensive look at these spaces and the analysis of existing tools to improve the functioning of these sites will allow us to take very important steps towards safety.

In this post we list 15 key areas in any industrial warehouse, and explain some valuable tools for the improvement of safety and accident avoidance in such spaces:

1. Vehicle parking. This is the area specifically planned to park company vehicles and industrial machinery. What important safety measures can we take in the parking are? Have one single parking space and concentrate all vehicles in this area. Park all cars in reverse. This is important as it ensures full visibility when removing the vehicles, and it allows for a quick evacuation should it be necessary. You can find out more information about this topic here.
   
   
2. Space for manoeuvring. This is the area intended for work vehicles to carry out all the manoeuvres and necessary tasks for loading and unloading, for docking and undocking the merchandise. In this type of spaces, it’s important to support drivers with clear signage and traffic lights as this helps improve the flow and efficiency of work
   
   
3. Loading and/or unloading docks. While the two previous areas were located outside of the warehouse building, the loading and unloading docks are designed and equipped with the means and space to load and unload the goods in the vehicles in the safest and most efficient possible way. The LSA (Low Speed Area Solution) helps improve safety in this workspace by limiting the speed limits in forklifts and other work vehicles. The Truck Docking System is also a very helpful and useful assistant in this type of work areas.
   
   
4. Reception Bays. A very high intensity traffic area, this very important space is design to receive and process merchandise and ensure that all goods have arrived according to plan. It is here where operators and forklifts coexist the most, so by using the PAS (Pedestrian Alert System) we will be minimising the risk of having pedestrians ran over and avoiding any type of work accident.
   
   
5. Storage area. This is where the merchandise is to be efficiently and properly stored and controlled, using the storage environment that best suits the characteristics of the products. In these spaces the corridors are the main arteries and, therefore, the proper management of work in such places is essential to avoid errors and gain efficiency. The Narrow Aisle Safety (NAS) solution helps prevent accidents between forklifts in this area while the CAS-G2 forklift anti-collision system warns drivers when it detects other vehicles in nearby areas and/or in risk situations.
   
   
6. Picking area. Here, the customers’ orders are prepared. It usually is a space within the area destined for storage, or a separate area on its own. To facilitate the flow and movement of forklifts we recommend the Traffic Control System used in GSK which separates vehicles from operators at work.
   
   
7. Manipulation zone. In this area is where tasks such as re-labelling, shrink wrapping, packaging change and product recovery take place and as such forklift and truck drivers interact constantly. That’s why we recommend the implementation of the Pedestrian Alert System or the Low Speed Area solution, to help limit the speed of all the vehicles.
   
   
8. Order control area. A space committed to ensuring the qualitative and quantitative control of the merchandise that has been prepared for the customers.
   
   
9. Dispatch Bay. The prepared and controlled orders are placed here and remain in this space until the loading and shipment time.
   
   
10. .Returns area. This is where the merchandise returned or rejected by the customers is stored. Here, reverse logistics are applied.
    
    
11. .Battery charging area. Every warehouse has a space specially dedicated to the maintenance and recharging of the electrical handling equipment, as well as to the repair or rearrangement of other tools used in the daily management of the merchandise. In this space, it is highly recommended to use a solution that limits the speed of the vehicles to make the site safer and reduce the number of accidents
    
    
12. .Pallets and empty containers area. This is the space dedicated to the storage of pallets and empty containers that are necessary for the storage and preparation of orders.
    
    
13. .Administration and services. Every warehouse has a space where all administration and accounting matters are handled. Other similar areas include changing rooms, dining room and smoking room, among many other spaces where operators can rest and ensure their wellbeing. Both the TAG T-10R badge and the PAS Solution contribution enormously to guarantee the personal safety of employees and the reduction of accidents at work. The TAG T-10R is a device that combines dual RFID technology – passive and active which allows our customers to maintain the functionality of existing access control, adding a PAS (pedestrian alert) safety.
    
    
14. .Waste area. Here industrial waste is stored, and recyclable, non-recyclable, and hazardous waste matter is divided. We highly recommend the use of the Hazardous Areas Solution, designed to prevent operators from falling to pits or conveyor belts and to minimise accidents in presses, crushers and compactors. It also allows perimeter detections in pits.
    
    
15. .Other areas. Other work areas are specific to the characteristics and activity of each industry and require customised solutions and measures to achieve better safety at work. These include cold rooms, quarantine areas or valuable storage areas, among many others.
