    Wrong-way sensor for logistics applications
     

Stop wrong-way drivers and optimise picking times

The new Wrong-way sensor

guides factory trucks safely and accident-free through high-bay warehouses. To do this, the sensor detects incoming and outgoing industrial trucks in rack aisles. At the same time, the wws detects the direction of travel of the incoming and outgoing factory trucks.

Detects direction and entry to area

When the one-way street rule is set in the high-bay warehouse, factory trucks that enter the rack aisle in the correct direction of travel should not be warned. However, if a factory truck enters the rack aisle in the wrong direction, the driver should be warned acoustically and visually. To do this, the wrong-way sensor is equipped with a flash light and a horn. This is to avoid unnecessary wrong entries and collisions with oncoming factory truck.

Battery operation and magnetic holder

The ultrasonic sensors have low power consumption and can be supplied via an external power bank. Thanks to the magnetic holder, mounting on steel poles is quick and requires no drilling. An optional screw fastening at the slot hole is possible at any time. The wws sensors are pre-set and ready for immediate use.

    1. Mounting wws sensors
    A wws sensor is installed at the entrance to every aisle with a ‘no entry’ sign.

    2. Detect direction
    In the correct direction of travel, factory trucks are not detected by wws sensors and can move freely.

    3. Stopping wrong-way drivers
    If a factory truck attempts to enter a prohibited aisle, the driver is warned both visually and acoustically, thus preventing collisions with oncoming vehicles
