Patlite signal beacons - success stories


Realtime Monitoring of Manual Assembly Process

Before - There was no chance for employees to collect data on the manual assembly process (especially during production stops), and to actuate strategies for improving the efficiency.

After - Thanks to the Patlite WD-PRO system and the fully customisable software provided by Automa,
Terex link icon can now register all the events happening on the manual process.

How to - Patlite signal towers are operated by employees to register the different stages of the production process. Alongside this, they can register when the production stops for maintenance or line preparation. Towers are also controlled by the software itself in some cases, through the bi-directionality of the WD-PRO: ex. Alarm escalation, programmed stops, etc.


Flood Monitoring and Warning System

Before - Previously, the company only used a signalling beacon.

After - Patlite's LA6-POE Signal Tower is connected to the NIHON control unit.

How to - Patlite's LA6-POE Signal Tower is connected to the NIHON KASETSU link icon control unit on a river flood monitoring application. Using mirroring functionality additional remote signalling will be implemented to give warning alarms in different locations downstream.


Dashboard Assembly Line

Before - Previously, an alternative suppliers' Signal Tower was used for indicating the status of the application.

After - The new Patlite Multicolour NE offers a more detailed and precise signalling indication. The customer uses the tactile sensor to allow the relevant employees to reset the alarms.

How to - A robot positions the dashboard into the Mercedes-Benz VITO link icon. The control unit checks if everything is correct and if a mistake is detected, the NE lights up. The NE is used for continuous monitoring and signalling.


AGVs

Before - Various products were used by the customer previously, however the light intensity from these products was low.

After - Patlite's SL08 Signalling Beacon provides efficient visual signalling in both normal operation and emergency situations.

How to - Improved indication to its surroundings while in motion, to prevent accidents in case a person is stepping in the path of the AGVs.
