Summary of Innovation
The Collision Sentry® Multi-Zone from Sentry Protection Products is the next generation collision warning system. Like earlier models in the Collision Sentry line of products, the Multi-Zone creates a safer work environment by reducing or eliminating blind spot collisions. The difference with the Multi-Zone is that it's not limited to mounting at a 90-degree corner. After all, not all "blind spots" are at corner intersections. The Multi-Zone expands the possibilities for preventing collisions in multiple areas, not just corners. The Multi-Zone features two units that communicate with each other wirelessly. Mount the units in any two places where there are conditions for a potential collision. For example, that could be on each side of a passageway between buildings or inside and outside of an exterior door. The two units act as one. If both see motion, meaning a possible collision, both flash a synchronized audio and visual warning.
The units are battery-powered, requiring no additional wiring or electric, and making them portable and easily re-located. You define the conflict zones where protection is needed. Units are factory preset and can magnetically or mechanically be attached to walls and other substrates. The field of vision ranges from 50 degrees to 134 degrees. Depending on the facility, the distance separating the two units can be up to 100 feet. Self-powered, easily installed, highly visible, and reliable. The Collision Sentry Multi-Zone – collision protection where you need it.
Innovation Statement
The Collision Sentry Multi-Zone expands the possibilities for preventing collisions in multiple areas where vision is obstructed - not just corner intersections. It's self-powered, requires no additional wiring or electric. That makes it portable and easily mounted and re-mounted in any two zones where conditions for a collision exist. It features a wide range of detection that allows for ample time for corrective action.
Applicability
Warehouses are statistically dangerous places to work. Every year, statistics show a staggering number of accidents and injuries. Heavy machinery, large objects, heavy traffic, and a maize of aisles can lead to conflict zones where vision is obstructed. Obstructed vision significantly increases the risk of accidents. Collision Sentry Multi-Zone helps reduce those numbers and create a safer working environment.
