Protect

Health and safety at work is a fundamental part of the working world. In 2020, there were over 30,000 accidents in the intralogistics sector in Germany, 65 per cent of which were caused by vehicles colliding with people or obstacles. Conveyor systems and transport trolleys are particularly affected, accounting for 15 per cent of accidents. The aim of the project is to develop an innovative warning system with multi-sensor monitoring and vibroacoustic feedback that prevents accidents more effectively than conventional methods.

• Using personal protective equipment as part of a comprehensive system to protect users
• To protect employees as a preventative measure
• To minimise accidents in the field of intralogistics
• Laying the foundations for potential further development in other areas of application.

The development of an efficient warning system which, through multi-sensory monitoring and vibro-actuated feedback, prevents accidents more effectively than previous visual and audible methods.
