Rite-Hite (Booth S1536) is presenting several smart-connected equipment options for DCs and warehouses—all designed to increase productivity and safety.

The company’s Dok-Commander Combined Controls integrates numerous loading dock control components into a central panel. It can also be programmed to work only in a safe sequence of operation.

The Rite-Vu Hazard Recognition and Control System uses audible alarms, interior monitors, LED lights and motion detection to alert dock employees of possible loading dock hazards, decreasing their injury risks and potential downtime.

“Since operational insights, particularly from captured data, can increase productivity and safety, these products feature additional smart capabilities that utilize sensors to capture data, which can be fed into our digital platform for analysis,” said Sara Everts, director of corporate marketing at Rite-Hite.

The company is showcasing other smart-connected products like Dok-Lok vehicle restraints, FasTrax industrial doors with GUI door controls, and the Safe-T-Signal intersection warning system. It will also debut the GuardRite Polymer Safety Barrier.

“As the logistics industry becomes more competitive, facility managers will continue to seek out new methods to boost their productivity,” Everts added. “Each of these options will help them achieve their productivity goals long term.”

ProMat 2023 was held March 20-23 at Chicago’s McCormick Place. The tradeshow showcases the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the materials handling and logistics industry. Modern’s complete coverage of the show.
