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.

Welcome to Claitec!

When Claitec embarked on its professional journey in 2013, our initial mission was clear: to improve the safety of people in their workplaces. Our team already had extensive experience in the field, which helped us grow rapidly and focus our efforts on addressing the main challenges that companies face daily. As we have progressed along this path, we have become increasingly aware of why we do what we do and why we are determined to continue in this direction. The reason is none other than knowing that our daily work serves to protect people, prevent injuries, and even save lives. What could be more important than that? Knowing that our effort and dedication can prevent a fatal accident, allowing a worker to return home safe and sound, is not just our professional activity; it motivates us and fills us with pride.


However, we also know we cannot let our guard down. Despite our efforts, the data on workplace accidents remains overwhelming. Approximately 61,800 accidents are recorded in work environments each year, of which 34,900 have fatal consequences. The most worrying aspect of it, is that many of them could have been prevented. It is everyone’s responsibility – and why deny it, everyone’s obligation -, to raise awareness on the importance of improving worker safety. We must generate trust and make them feel like an important part of the team, as this has, without a doubt, also has a positive impact on their productivity and effort.


Our work, like any other, is not always easy, but we have the necessary tools to carry it out successfully, starting with our human team. We have a team committed to constantly improving our service, made up of specialised experts with extensive experience in the latest technologies. We dedicate a large part of our efforts to research and development of our solutions, always leveraging the latest trends and possibilities to adapt to current demands, without falling behind. The Claitec team is willing to offer not only a quality product but also personalised attention and follow-up, so that the experience of our clients and users is as optimal as possible


Another crucial aspect to consider is customer training as we want our products to work correctly and fulfill their purpose, which requires proper assembly and configuration. That’s why we offer constant training to our collaborators and distributors, ensuring that they are fully qualified to use and apply our solutions effectively.

We study each project in detail to offer a solution that is suitable for each specific case. Many satisfied customers vouch for what we have done well, and each new challenge gives us clues as to how we can improve and what problems our users face in their day-to-day lives.
Those who already know our activity will be familiar with some of our products. However, for those who do not know us yet, the question is obvious: How do we do it?

Different preventive measures exist, mainly those that can separate hazardous machinery from people through fixed safety systems, such as barriers and gates. However, there are situations where this is not possible. That’s where our products come in. Installing sensors, radars, safety gates, or access controls among other systems to detect danger. Through radio frequency, we equip pedestrians and forklifts to allow them to be detected within a safety radius, alerting them to the danger and allowing them to take the necessary measures.


There are different ways to achieve this goal, and the choice between one option or another will depend on the environment and the assessment of an expert in the field. Can be using acoustic signals, visual signals, block doors to unauthorised personnel and even control the speed of forklifts in high-risk areas. The experience of our team is essential to find the ideal solution in each case. At Claitec, we spare no effort to always offer the best.


Let us invite you to visit our website to learn more about our solutions and discover how we can help you improve your company’s safety. We are always happy to answer any questions or queries or schedule an appointment with one of our experts for personalised advice.

How can traffic be regulated in work zones where pedestrians and forklifts must coexist?
This question sparks considerable debate, as traffic control depends on specific cases and lacks a universal system adaptable to all situations. Some areas may require visual signals, others need access control, and some may require speed regulation.
In many cases, a combination of different solutions is necessary to address the issue effectively.


Despite its complexity, it’s crucial to manage traffic in our workplaces to prevent risks and accidents with severe consequences.
We are all familiar with signs indicating the presence of vehicles or hazardous areas, but these signs can often be overlooked if they are not effective enough or due to human error, typically caused by rushing through tasks that require focus or by violating rules such as entering restricted areas without authorisation.
The Traffic Control System (TCS) developed by Claitec is not a single solution but encompasses various tools depending on the specific problem and the situation that requires proper traffic management. This involves the intervention of a trained professional to advise and find the best solution.


Claitec’s team of experts is highly experienced in identifying problems and proposing the best options.
In some cases, high-intensity visual signals, like the VAS system, are used. In others, access is regulated and pedestrian priority is ensured through safety gates –  such is the case of our PSG, among many other possibilities.
In summary, effective traffic management in areas where is not possible to separate pedestrians from vehicles can prevent accidents and even save lives. These are compelling reasons to pay attention and seek effective solutions.


While our primary concern is people’s safety, we cannot overlook the material cost. In many fortunate situations where there are no human casualties, there can be damages to vehicles or parts of the work environment, incurring significant costs for the company.

It is widely known that carrying out certain type of repetitive tasks day in day out, can lead to worker overconfidence. Unfortunately, this may result in accidents with unpredictable consequences. The High Load Sensor (HLS) developed by Claitec addresses one of the most common scenarios in any industrial environment: the use of machinery (such as forklifts) to transport cargo.


This is a frequently performed task in many workplaces and it often involves repetitive activities that can become monotonous, increasing the risk of accidents, runovers, or collisions with other vehicles or structures. You’ll be hard press to find a warehouse or factory where at least one accident of this type has not taken place.


The causes of this type of accidents are diverse although overloading seems to be one of the most common, especially when the load exceeds safe levels, and it makes manoeuvring difficult for the driver. The term “high load” refers not only to the potential collision with doors or suspended objects but also to the risk of collisions due to reduced visibility and possible destabilisation of the machine. The additional weight can cause the load to fall or even overturn the vehicle.


Limited visibility forces the driver to look mainly to the sides, increasing the risk of runovers, especially at crossings or intersections. These are just some of the reasons why at Claitec, we strive to mitigate these risks as much as possible.


Our High Load Sensor (HLS) is designed to alert drivers when the cargo or dimensions exceed the optimal height or measures for the type of forklift they are using. Equipped with this sensor, the forklift emits an audible and visual alert when it detects that the load exceeds the safe limits, allowing the driver to take preventive measures to avoid accidents or dangerous situations, especially at warehouse entrances or doors.


The installation of the sensor is straightforward, making it a highly effective solution without the need to implement complex devices.It can be complemented with other safety systems designed by Claitec. Should you require more information about this solution and/or other ways to improve safety in your company, please visit our website and contact us with any questions or enquiries.

If there is one recurring cause of work accidents involving the use of forklifts, it is undoubtedly speeding.
Speed plays a crucial role in both pedestrian accidents and collisions, something that should not be overlooked. For this reason, Claitec has developed the LSA (Low Speed Area) solution, designed to regulate speed in high-risk areas where it could trigger accidents.


With years of operation, the LSA system has proven its effectiveness through the results and the positive response of our satisfied customers. It is a precise, easy-to-install system that does not require direct intervention by the driver, as it operates autonomously thanks to motion sensors.
The LSA solution is specially designed to adapt to different work environments, knowing that each one has its unique structure. Claitec has devised different ways to implement this solution in environments such as warehouses, factories, or loading docks, among others.


The LSA System is installed using brackets containing a reflective strip that interacts with a sensor installed on the forklift. These brackets are strategically placed in the areas where it is desired to regulate speed, either suspended from the ceiling by cables or fixed to the wall.
When the vehicle equipped with the LSA system drives through the controlled area, the sensor detects the reflective strips, reducing the speed of the forklift in the previously defined area.


This system is also applicable in loading docks or similar environments where it is necessary to control the speed of vehicles during manoeuvres. In these cases, the reflective strips are installed on the forklift itself, and the control unit and motion sensor in the corresponding place, such as on the side of the dock door. This way, as the vehicle drives through the specified area, it is detected, allowing its speed to be controlled, and preventing accidents commonly caused by rushing during loading or unloading operations..


As you can see, the LSA solution is an essential ally in preventing accidents related to speeding. In addition, it can be complemented with other systems developed by Claitec, such as traffic control (TCS) or our visualisation system (VAS).


We invite you to learn more about this and other safety solutions and encourage you to contact us for any questions or concerns. The team of experts at Claitec will be happy to assist you.

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.
