Warehouse Safety Cages – Perfect Barriers Around AGV Work Areas

Secure AGV Operations with Warehouse Safety Cages

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are rolling into warehouses and distribution centers faster than ever to help infuse some control and efficiency over an industry in flux. Labor shortages, inventory uncertainty, and insatiable demand have left many businesses pulling the trigger on automated systems sooner rather than later. AGVs, for their part, are getting it done. That said, introducing automation into your facility also takes training, and persistent safety measures to ensure your team and your machines coexist safely. One cost-effective and easy way to protect workers and equipment is to use warehouse safety cages to isolate the work area.

AGVs are equipped with safety features to prevent accidents and injuries. Most vehicles come with sensors to detect obstructions in their path and automatic braking and power controls. That said, preventing pedestrians from accidentally wandering into the path of an oncoming AGV eliminates the danger entirely.

Take, for example, wire-guided AGVs servicing a very-narrow aisle pallet rack storage area. From the rear or side of that system, it may not be obvious that machines are in operation in the area. A warehouse worker or visitor could easily wander into the area if it is not well marked, or better yet, closed-off with security cage panels. The use of automated pedestrian gate systems can also prevent accidents and injury. Forklifts, AGV, and other PIV require separation for the protection of workers and visitors.
