Sentry Protection Products (Lakewood, OH) has upgraded its award winning Collision Sentry collision warning system to feature a more focused, more intense warning light for increased visibility. To do this, the LED lights were re-positioned and the diffusing lens was replaced with one that concentrates the focus of the light beam toward the areas where people can best see it; increasing the intensity of the beam anywhere from five to 20 times. Sentry was able to boost the light’s intensity without compromising energy efficiency. Collision Sentry is designed to create a safer working environment in industrial settings by reducing or eliminating “blind corner” collisions that occur when forklift traffic and pedestrian traffic intersect. When motion is detected on both sides of the corner, creating conditions for an accident, the Collision Sentry visually alerts approaching traffic; stopping accidents before they happen.
