EOS4 safety light curtains strategically located at workstation entrances across the three levels of the warehouse. These EOS4 units create an invisible yet dependable barrier between personnel and moving loads. However, as relying solely on light curtains wouldn’t
suffice in maintaining efficiency, a sophisticated coordinated sensor system was integrated to differentiate between packages and people. As goods approach, two pairs of frontal photoelectric
sensors detect their presence, signalling the automated vehicle to halt perfectly at the transfer point. A diagonal sensor then communicates with the conveyor, confirming readiness for the exchange. Throughout this exchange, the EOS4 curtain monitors the area, and muting is activated to allow a package to pass through. If a person is detected, the system promptly triggers a stop. The careful integration of sensors and safety light curtains guarantees that muting cannot be misused
This challenge was tackled in a project undertaken by an OEM specialising in intelligent industrial systems. Central to the initiative was a three-dimensional automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) designed for integrated handling, storage and picking alongside the production line at a prominent premium household appliance maker. To ensure safe operations across this complex setting, the OEM partnered with ReeR Safety. The heart of the solution saw the installation of over 100 pairs of
or triggered by misleading actions. The system is therefore efficient, with operators safeguarded as the automated flow of goods continues unimpeded. This solution has achieved an effective balance between productivity and
safety, significantly reducing both false alarms and downtime while fully adhering to international machine safety standards. Most importantly, this application illustrates how thoughtfully designed safety technology can enhance rather than hinder the efficiency of sophisticated logistics operations.
