As every year, April 28th marks a significant date on our calendar, as we celebrate the International Day of Safety and Health at Work.

At Claitec, we have always supported this initiative, and of course, we could not miss it this year. On this occasion, the campaign addresses a highly relevant and current topic: the use of artificial intelligence and its role in occupational safety.

For some time now, at Claitec, we have been working with AI to integrate it into our safety systems, committed to innovation and allocating a significant part of our research to these tools that are here to transform the future of our industries.

The digital transformation is already a reality. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and immersive experiences are part of our daily lives. In this context, their potential to improve occupational safety is undeniable. Clear examples of this are automated management tools or advanced detection cameras, which allow for the optimisation of risk prevention in the workplace.

It is true that the use of these technologies generates debate. As in any paradigm shift, there are proponents and detractors. However, when used as support tools, they can become key allies, in many cases more reliable than systems that depend exclusively on human intervention. Betting on artificial intelligence in occupational safety means taking advantage of its benefits to improve the effectiveness of our solutions and optimise protection in work environments.

If you would like to learn more about our work with these technologies or any other safety product, do not hesitate to contact our team of experts.

We will be happy to advise you.

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.

Safety in warehouses is a top priority for everyone, but particularly, for those in charge of operations and team wellbeing. Best practices and, above all, safety measures implemented to prevent accidents can significantly optimise this challenging task.
In this brief guide, we’ll discuss various measures that can help make warehouses a safer space.
The team at Claitec has extensive experience in improving safety in these environments. We have thoroughly studied the main safety issues faced by most companies and have developed practical solutions to address them.
Our goal with this guide is to share the experience we’ve accumulated through general practical advices that you can then customise according to your needs.


Regularly Inspect your Equipment

Although this might seem obvious, it’s often overlooked in practice. Ensuring equipment is in good functioning order, and regularly inspected by an expert before use is vital for a safe environment. Forklifts, essential in industrial areas, should be equipped with active safety systems (discussed in the following points) and maintained in optimal conditions. If these vehicles aren’t functioning properly, are damaged, or lack basic inspections, the probability of accidents rises exponentially.
Claitec’s Copilot driver assistance tool enables monitoring of forklift status before use. Its checklist feature regularly verifies whether the vehicle meets minimum requirements for safe operation. You can learn more about this system here:
https://claitec.com/en/copilot-mitigating-risks-through-forklift-control/
Likewise, any other devices in use should be checked for functionality. For example, if using tags, ensure they are adequately charged, or if a hazardous area system is installed, make sure it’s reviewed by an expert.


Properly Mark Hazardous Zones.

It’s crucial to note that not all systems operate the same way in risky areas. Each case must be carefully assessed by an expert before implementing the appropriate solution, as there are no universal solutions; each environment has unique characteristics. Claitec customises each case to provide the best solution, considering all the factors we can anticipate with our experience in the field.
After assessing the specific situation, there are multiple solutions available for marking hazardous areas. Claitec’s VAS system, for instance, alerts pedestrians and drivers by projecting visual signals on the floor. This solution is especially effective in areas with low visibility, high noise levels, or heavy traffic.
You can find out more about this solution here:
https://claitec.com/en/portfolio/visual-alert-system-vas/
Our Crossing Guard safety system also warns of oncoming forklifts or pedestrians, using projections on the floor similar to the VAS system.

https://claitec.com/en/portfolio/intersection-warning-system-crossing-guard/


Install Control Systems.

Another key warehouse safety measure is the implementation of access control and passage management devices. Certain areas require authorised personnel only – either due to the danger level involved or the need for specific training. Maintaining control over personnel and their access is essential to prevent unauthorised access to hazardous areas.
With the goal of preventing accidents in mind, it’s also equally important to manage traffic in areas with continuous vehicle and pedestrian flow. Claitec addresses issues stemming from these factors and offers solutions such as the PSG (Pedestrian Safety Gate) – a safety gate that blocks pedestrian access when it detects danger (such an approaching forklift), and it allows passage when it’s safe.
By combining this gate with the AV-30 antenna, we can restrict access to unauthorised personnel in areas requiring specific authorisation.
You can find out more about these systems here:
https://claitec.com/en/pedestrian-safety-gate-psg/


Use Appropriate Equipment.

Implementing safety measures is futile if they aren’t used properly. Although it may seem evident, we always emphasise that our solutions must be used correctly to ensure their effectiveness. For instance, pedestrians must carry their personal tags at all times; otherwise, they won’t be identified by other safety systems.


Monitor Existing Systems.

Finally, we can enhance the effectiveness of previous measures by monitoring their usage and any incidents to take necessary actions for improvement. Centralised monitoring of all active systems not only prevents accidents but also saves time and boosts productivity.
Claitec’s Safeyu platform provides comprehensive monitoring of all Claitec systems, enabling real-time tracking and improved management. Safeyu is one of our latest solutions, delivering excellent results.

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.
