Pilot project
Seifert Logistics tests Linde Safety Guard
The Seifert Logistics Group has tested the Linde Safety Guard together with Schöler Fördertechnik. The assistance system is designed to prevent accidents by warning of potential obstacles.
Thanks to the ultra-wideband technology used, the Linde Safety Guard detects potential hazards, such as approaching vehicles, with an accuracy of up to ten centimetres, even through roller shutters or walls, according to the company. As part of the test, two industrial trucks and 50 employees were equipped with the safety technology with the help of Günsel Fördertechnik und Fahrzeugbau GmbH. The test was carried out over a period of six weeks.
Test at the automotive site in Leipzig
The Seifert Logistics Group operates a logistics center for an automotive customer at its Leipzig site. "Safety is a top priority for us," explains Marc Styrnal, Head of Automotive/Operative. "We work very closely with Schöler to ensure that we are always up to date with the latest safety technology in the warehouse."
The system consists of a personal warning device (Portable Unit), a transmitter for forklift trucks (Truck Unit) and for wall mounting at danger points (Keeper Static) as well as a mirror for intersection monitoring.
Seifert Logistics was very satisfied with the pilot project and is considering further use of the system. "The Linde Safety Guard has met our expectations," concludes Marc Styrnal. "Several deployment options are currently undergoing further testing."
