PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Two antenna units are strategically installed along conveyor systems that feed balers and shredders. These antennas function as safety sensors and integrate directly into your conveyor’s existing E-stop circuit. When a worker wearing SCAN~LINK passive RFID safety apparel enters the detection zone, the system instantly identifies their presence and opens the relay in the E-stop circuit—immediately stopping conveyor movement and preventing accidents. A connected light tower also flashes red and triggers an audible alarm, ensuring rapid awareness for everyone in the area.
With zero false alarms, you keep your operation running efficiently while securing worker safety. SCAN~LINK’s patented technology uses passive RFID tags—requiring no batteries or ongoing maintenance.
CONVEYOR SAFETY CHALLENGES
Industrial conveyor operations pose unique and persistent safety risks. Many facilities grapple with unreliable detection systems that trigger frequent false alarms, leading to unnecessary stoppages and reduced productivity. Other technologies require ongoing maintenance or battery management, adding to operational costs and increasing the risk of failure. Integrating new solutions into existing safety systems can also be complex, often demanding significant time, expertise, and resources.
SCAN~LINK’s Conveyor Unit is engineered to overcome these obstacles. Our passive RFID safety solution delivers reliable personnel detection without false alarms, keeps maintenance demands low with battery-free tags, and integrates seamlessly into existing E-stop safety circuits. This ensures robust, automated protection and operational continuity.
