Improving high-speed door safety
The I-Zone area detection system utilizes infrared technology to sense if a pedestrian is within seven feet of a high-speed door. Preventing a door from closing when someone enters the seven-foot zone, the safety device's sensors monitor both sides of a door opening and create beams that cross to form the safety zone. These sensors also reverse the door if it is beginning to close. An alarm indicates users of the sensor's potential malfunctioning problems.

Load transfer station with pallet dispenser
A load transfer station with pallet dispenser (LTS-PD) can decrease pallet transfer times, increase transfer efficiency and enhance pallet and load alignment. The LTS-PD saves labor by allowing a single forklift operator to perform the entire transfer process. At a speed of 45 seconds per cycle, the forklift operator can place a load in the station and have it transferred to another pallet without assistance from an additional operator. The unit simplifies warehousing and shipping by efficiently transferring loads to alternative pallets. It is ideal for capturing FDA required in-house pallets to reduce pallet replacement and repair costs.
