The Solution: AisleCop intelligent traffic management systems
Cisco-Eagle implemented the AisleCop Forklift and Pedestrian Safety System to automate the right-of-way at these critical transition points. Automated gate systems were deployed to four separate low-visibility interaction points throughout the operation.
These systems utilize a timer so that during high traffic times (shift change, etc.) multiple pedestrians can cross while the pedestrian gate arms remain open, as long as there are no gaps in pedestrian traffic longer than the time delay setting. This timer feature prevents each person from having to initiate the crossing cycle individually and allows a smooth flow of pedestrian traffic at higher volume moments.
Above: AisleCop systems are frequently specified for cross-traffic near open doorways and other egress points where forklifts can potentially collide with pedestrians or other forklifts
| Solution | Description |
|---|---|
| Automated pedestrian gate arms | Installed physical barriers that automatically close based on traffic rules when the system detects oncoming forklift traffic. |
| Motion-activated collision detection | System utilizes intelligent sensors to monitor the approach zones of both forklifts and pedestrians, specifically managing the high-risk traffic flow through warehouse garage doors. |
| Visual warnings | Forklift gate arms provide a physical barrier when aisle is closed. They feature bright, flashing LED light strips to enhance visibility. |
Design and engineering decisions
- Blind-Spot mitigation: Gates were positioned precisely at the exit points of the warehouse doors to eliminate the risk of surprise encounters between vehicles and foot traffic
- High-Volume compatibility: System engineered to handle the constant flow of palletized products without interrupting the facility's production quotas
- Standardized safety: Installation ensures the facility meets modern safety objectives by replacing passive awareness with active, automated protection
A safer operation
The project successfully secured the facility's most dangerous intersections. By removing the reliance on human detection at blind corners, the operation realized immediate safety benefits for its employees while maintaining the efficient flow of product.
