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.

The Pedestrian Alert System (PAS) is designed to warn forklift drivers when a person at adjustable distances of 1 to 6.5 meters is detected. It is a unique system with the capacity to distinguish between people and objects. It can even detect operators located behind a wall or a shelf!

In addition, the PAS System is one of our clients’ favourite solutions, having already contributed significantly to the improvement of occupational safety and the reduction of occupational accidents in many workplaces. That’s why in this post we’d like to list three key reasons that make this an essential element in any industry.

1) Excellent results:

The PAS System is a fundamental component of any workspace because it minimises the number of accidents, it reduces the risk of workers being run over and it creates work environments that are much safer and more efficient for everyone. It also complements very easily with other safety systems, thus providing a very wide range of safety responses and measures.

2) A point of reference:

The coexistence of pedestrians and forklifts is an issue that all industries must attend to, and where historically there have been more problems and a high rate of occupational accidents. In that sense, the PAS System has established itself as a reference solution to such challenges, and its impact on the reduction of accidents at work and the improvement of safety is proven in the market.

3) It complements other safety systems

The PAS System also stands out because it easily integrates with other systems, making it a versatile tool capable of adapting to provide more solutions. For example, there is the possibility of combining the PAS System with the VAS System, as some of our clients have done, obtaining great results. Similarly, the PAS System can be used to improve safety in crane bridges.

Welcome to the team!

Today, we would like highlight three of Claitec’s tools which are currently offering great results to our clients in helping improve the safety of their workers in different industries.


1) The VAS system (Safety Alert Visualisation system). This helpful tool warns pedestrians and/or forklifts in risky situations by projecting signals on the ground. It greatly contributes to the safety of people in industrial spaces, since it provides highly visible signals that are detected by all, sorting traffic out and preventing accidents. The VAS system stands out for being effective, visible, durable. It’s extremely easy to combine with Claitec’s developments.


2) The PAS system. One of Claitec’s most used solutions, the Pedestrian Alert System warns forklift drivers when it detects a person at adjustable distances from 1 to 11 meters. It is a unique system capable of differentiating people from objects. It even detects operators who are behind a wall or a shelf! Pedestrians simply carry the tags with them and, when these are detected by the system previously installed on the forklift, they warn the driver. This solution minimises the number of accidents and it reduces the risk of pedestrians being ran over in industries.


3) PSG system. The Pedestrian Safety Gate is designed to reduce risk situations, improving pedestrian safety in crossings, and restricting the circulation of non-protected personnel. The PSG combines with the TCS Traffic Control System to block pedestrians from crossings in the event of the nearby presence of a forklift. It is a practical and very effective solution.


Should you need further information on these or any of Claitec’s solutions or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us, we are here to help!

As every year, this April 8th marks World Day for Safety and Health at Work. In 2023 the International Labour Organization (ILO) wants to explore the topic of: a safer and healthier workspace as a fundamental right of all.

It is important to remember that the International Labor Conference (CIT) that took place in June 2022 decided to include “a safe and healthy working environment” in the ILO’s framework of fundamental principles and rights at work. As a result of that decision, all member states have the obligation – derived from the very fact of their membership in the Organization -, to respect, promote and implement, in good faith and in accordance with the Constitution, the principles relating to fundamental rights that are the object of the agreements on these principles and rights.

For the team at Claitec, April 28 is a key day in the calendar – a moment to question our working methods, our contribution to the improvement of both safety and health at work, and to identify the main challenges that are yet to be addressed.

In fact, achieving safer and healthier environments is something that constantly motivates us, encouraging us to always put people at the centre and to think and to develop innovative, creative, practical, and modern solutions to eliminate risks, prevent accidents and create safer and healthier environments for everyone.

This is demonstrated by some of our most recent innovations, such as the Radar Crossing Guard designed to improve safety at intersections -, the LSA Solution or Low Speed Area Solutions for the limitation of speed per zones, or even the VAS System, which, in a very simple and practical way controls traffic in workspaces and prevents work accidents.

So, on this important day, we invite you to reflect and to contribute from your work environment to achieve safer and healthier workplaces. And most importantly, to count on us to continue making improvements in your industrial working environments!

In today’s post we would like to share with our readers the fantastic experience and results that one of our clients is achieving by using the Safeyu plaform-, a solution designed and developed to prevent accidents at work. Safeyu connects workers, vehicles, and machines in such a way as to identify risk situations in real time and preventively warn workers while generating records that help them draw conclusions regarding prevention, health, and occupational safety in their workspace.


The company in question implemented the Safeyu platform and installed the PAS-G2 System. In addition, their forklifts use the CAS-G2 system, the copilot, and the shock sensor. The operators also carry safety tags with them. Thanks to the monitoring carried out by Safeyu, the firm has now compiled valuable data on detections between forklifts, forklift impacts, detections of people and forklift safety checklist.


With all this information, the company’s occupational safety managers have been able to improve traffic in some of the areas of the warehouse where accidents or incidents previously occurred with higher frequency. They were also able to differentiate pedestrians in areas with a high volume of forklift traffic, as well as detect impacts on shelfs and thus relocate different materials to help work vehicles carry out manoeuvres more easily.


Their day-to-day operations currently work as follows:

  • The forklift driver logs into the Safeyu system.
  • Once the login is completed, the checklist screens appear so that the user can verify each part of the forklift; for example: whether the brake fluid has been checked, whether the wheels are in good condition. Different options can be personalised by the system administrator.
  • Once the checklist has been completed and passed, the driver can start using the forklift.
  • If the operator is driving and detects another forklift in the safety zone, a warning will appear on the copilot.
  • If a person is detected within the safety perimeter, warning signs will also appear.
  • The user can configure the warnings, for instance: whether the co-pilot is required to only warn the driver with an audible alarm, or whether the speed of the vehicle should be reduced when detections take place.
  • If the driver collides against a shelf, for example, a warning will also appear in the copilot.


All data generated in the daily operations are sent to the Safeyu platform in real time, so the platform administrator can see the heat graphs, the detections and all the records right there and then, and make decisions or execute changes as necessary.


This allows the safety teams to make decisions based on evidence and operate on the most problematic areas of their daily operations, reducing risks and thus preventing possible accidents at work.

In our continuous search for new and innovative ways to provide helpful solutions for our customers, the team at Claitec has developed a very practical multifunction tag that replaces and unites the tasks performed by other products in one single unit.

Introducing the MT-50 – a new device capable of performing the same functions of the TT-50, TZ-TAG, TZ2-TAG (BI / UNI). This new tag does the same job as all these other devices while also adding power, RF and LF improvements typical of a T -10R, among other things.

The MT-50 can easily be configured using a simple switch to perform the test tag functions which, until now were carried out by the TT-50 – a device designed to oversee the correct functioning of both the RF communications as well as the safety zone generated by the AC-50 Activator.

The MT-50 also performs the tasks of the TZ-Tag – a small device that allows us to detect any forklift equipped with an AC-50 in an established safety zone. Thanks to these devices, a safety area can be delimited in a physical space without needing anyone with the T-10 keyring to be present. This way, when a forklift enters that safety area, the AC-50 triggers an alarm signal on the vehicle, and it even limits its speed.

In addition to the above, the MT-50 also includes the same capabilities of the bidirectional and unidirectional TZ2-TAG designed to detect a forklift equipped with an AC-50 in a safety zone. Thanks to these devices it is possible to delimit a safety perimeter in a physical space without needing anyone with the T-10 keyring to be present. When a forklift enters the safety area, the TZ2-TAG will activate a relay.

Advantages of the MT-50 Tag:

The new tag presents many advantages when compared to its predecessors, including:

  • Better detection
  • Greater range (going from 5m to 7m in LF -21KHz-)
  • Better communication at HF ​​(2.4GHz). This means that it is a lot easier to detect in places where the TZ2-tag and the TZ-TAG were difficult to detect
  • It is connected through an IP65 connector
  • It is easier to install
  • It incorporates a relay
  • It can be expanded with additional outputs and inputs
  • The configuration of the TZ2 and TT-50 function is easily done through switch

Today we’d like to introduce you to the new Radar Crossing Guard, a device used in conjunction with the Crossing Guard, a system installed at higher levels in warehouses to prevent collisions at intersections.

This solution now incorporates a new “radar” movement detector which guarantees optimal traffic flow at industrial crossings thanks to the reliable and intelligent activation of the Crossing Guard system.

The radar installed in the system can detect any moving object, and it’s even capable of differentiating between vehicles and people. The detection direction can be configured as desired, as well as whether vehicles or pedestrians are approaching, moving away or moving in both directions.

In addition, the Radar Crossing Guard has two fully independent programmable outputs offering complete flexibility in any application. An output boost function makes it an even more versatile solution.

The Radar Crossing Guard is extremely intuitive and very easy to program.

Our clients are also very pleased about how easy it is to combine with other Claitec’s solutions like the VAS Projector at intersections. In this case, when the radar detects a forklift or a person, it projects a signal on the ground at the intersection alerting of a potential risk or indicating the vehicle to “stop”.

Similarly, the radar is also present in the Crossing Guard, combining radars with traffic lights, projectors and bluespots. In this case, it depends on whether the radar detects a person or a machine, or whether it turns on traffic lights or projects a signal on the ground.

At Claitec, we are convinced that a product speaks for itself once it is installed and producing positive results in the industrial space for which it has been designed. Claitec’s VAS System has provided ample evidence of being a simple, but very efficient solution to organise traffic and prevent workplace accidents.

The VAS (Safety Alert Visualisation) systems is designed to warn pedestrians and/or forklift drivers of a potentially risky situation by projecting signals on the ground. These signals are highly visible to operators and easy to detect, which is why they become extremely useful in spaces with high pedestrian volume and loading machines, such as forklifts.

This system stands out from other signalling options for several reasons, including the following:

  1. Highly effective visible system. The VAS System’s signals stand out before the panoramic mirrors and other signs traditionally used in warehouses many of which end up becoming part of the general landscape of the site, and people stop paying attention to them.

  2. More visible and long lasting. The projections on the ground attract more attention and achieve better visibility than the warning signs located at a certain height – usually placed too high to be seen during the daily operations. In addition, compared to images painted on the floor or walls, there is no wear or tear from daily work or the passage of time, and it has very little maintenance, providing about 30,000 hours of operation.

  3. Recommended complement. Besides all of the above, the VAS System can also be used as a complement to the PAS System, the CAS-G2 and the LSA – just to mention a few of other solutions – thus generating safer work environments for all.

  4. Possibility to change the lenses. The VAS’ projector lenses come in up to three different colours, and the projected symbols are customisable. Some of the possible projections include a forklift or pedestrian signal, a “stop” sign, a pedestrian crossing, a speed limit warning, a “non-smoking” sign or “mobile phone use” notice, among many other options.
