n a world that is increasingly turning to automation, industry experts say projected signage is the improved and more secure health and safety signage
solution for warehouses using robotics. With the International Federation of Robotics reporting that robots can lead to a 50% increase in productivity – as well as evidence showing that they can help to reduce errors and improve safety data – an increasing number of warehouse and logistics businesses are incorporating robotics and automation into their operations.
Visible, durable and adaptable Projected Image, who supply powerful LED gobo projectors, say projected health and safety signs – which are more visible, durable and adaptable than traditional signage – are the better option for use with robotics. “According to ABI Research, warehouse
robotics is expected to reach $22.4billion globally in the next 10 years, so the automation. Traditional painted and printed safety signs often fall short when it comes to robotics and automation, whereas projected signage is easier for robots to read, understand and adhere to, and is more adaptable in warehouse and more reliable option” said Ian Spoors, Managing Director of Projected Image.

Projected Image say that printed and are easily damaged with time and register, causing operational, safety and productivity issues. Plus, they’re not easily adapted in ever-changing
“With Warehouse 5.0 on the horizon, making sure
robots are operating safely alongside humans is more important than ever”
The experts state that projected signage is brighter and more durable, so it doesn’t change size, shape or robots’ computer vision technology and sophisticated algorithms. Robots can capture an image of the safety message, analyse it and then determine and follow the instruction. “Not only is projected safety signage easier for robots to identify and less or heavy machinery – it can adapt to automation too. For example, projected signs can be updated to reroute robots or activated if a robot is approaching – something not easily achieved with traditional signs, ” added Spoors.
Building on Warehouse 4.0 which
introduced a technological revolution, Warehouse 5.0 champions humans, Warehouses have already seen the
introduction of a number of robots, including Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), Collaborative Robots (Cobots) and alongside humans for greater productivity.
Next generation signage “If we’re bringing robots into our abide by safety protocols, just as humans would with training. The technological innovations in warehousing and logistics health and safety should as well. Projected signs are the next generation of health and safety signage, suitable not just for the needs of today, but those of the future too,” concluded Spoors. According to Projected Image, they are the only business in the UK who supply both powerful, IP-rated LED projectors and deliver innovative projected safety signage solutions for businesses across the country.
