xperts in projected signage, Projected Image, believe that projected health and safety signage will be the go-to solution for warehousing and manufacturing businesses that want to stay ahead in safety and compliance this year. “With industry leaders calling for workplace safety to be a priority in 2025, and technology and automation integration a key focus for Warehouse 5.0, projected safety signage is the solution. Even in the most demanding conditions, whether that’s dusty environments, cold storage or high traffic areas, it delivers clear health and safety messaging for humans and collaborative robots (cobots)” says Ian Spoors, Managing Director of Projected Image.
According to the projection experts, projected safety signage offers unmatched adaptability, durability and visibility, making it well-suited to the challenges of modern industrial environments. “It’s the perfect fit for industries like manufacturing and warehousing where complying with safety regulations is imperative. Projectors shine bright health and safety signs onto doors, floors and walls which are hard to miss and help to increase adherence with safety regulations” adds Ian. Projectors also utilise interchangeable gobos (custom glass optical filters) which allow businesses to quickly update messages to reflect changing layouts, procedures or regulations. “Unlike static signage, projected signage offers flexibility without the need for costly reapplying or repainting. The gobos inside the projectors can be customised with different safety messaging, such as ‘keep clear’ or ‘no entry’, and be updated as required. As workplace safety is more important than ever, projected signage is a future-proof solution that enhances safety without disrupting operations” says Ian. Projected Image has also found an increase in companies wanting to automate their safety signage to meet their evolving needs. With projected signage, businesses can integrate Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors, timers and existing safety systems with their projectors for an automated solution. “The adaptability of our gobo projectors allows businesses to update safety messages based on real-time conditions, such as shutter doors opening. This ensures the correct safety messages are shown at the correct time, which is particularly important in busy workplaces, especially where humans and robots are working together” says Ian. Industry leaders say Warehouse 5.0 – which highlights the importance of humans, automation and robotics working together – is on the horizon this year, and Projected Image say that projected

signage is the more reliable option for facilities using robotics. “An increasing number of warehousing and manufacturing businesses are introducing robotics to their sites and projected signage will lead the way in terms of safety. It’s more reliable than printed or painted signs as it does not wear or fade, making it more readable for machines and cobots and providing enhanced safety” says Ian. As well as supplying gobo projectors, Projected Image design, scale and manufacture gobo lenses in-house. Working closely with clients to deliver bespoke signage designs tailored to individual
needs, they provide a complete service from start to finish, including site visits and in-house gobo design and manufacturing teams. Also, unlike standard projectors, their powerful,
IP-rated gobo projectors are purpose-built for industrial applications and can handle challenging environments while delivering consistent, high-quality results. “We’ve worked with many manufacturers and warehousing businesses and have seen first-hand the positive impact our projected signage has on their health and safety efforts. Our team offers unparalleled knowledge and experience, so we can provide a projected safety solution to suit any needs” says Ian.
By combining technology with over 25 years of
industry expertise, Projected Image leads the way as projected signage shines a light on better health and safety in 2025. “We’re expecting projected signage to become even more popular in 2025. And, to make the process even easier for businesses, we’re soon launching a new tool which will help companies streamline the way they plan, implement, adapt and visualise projected signage solutions in their environment. Watch this space!” concludes Ian. More information about Projected Image can be found at
