Now, efficiency and safety balance one another equally. All over India, factories and units are adopting smarter ways to ensure not just the productivity, but the safety of the personnel as well. The Patlite Signal Tower is one of the critical tools that facilitates safety and communication on the shop floor. These devices are critical in modern industrial automation. This is why at Shikhar Automation we incorporate Patlite Signal Towers into our automation solutions, which helps industries to streamline safety with the offered automation reliability.
What Are Patlite Signal Towers?
Patlite Signal Towers are industrial fixed visual and audible signaling devices with lights, commonly called stack lights, and indicator lights. These are color-coded and serve as multi-stage lights. They are used as the primary mode of communication between a machine and the operators. They give real-time equipment status, safety, and process alerts, as well as process control notifications.
Patlite Signal Towers come in various configurations, sizes, and colors. They are commonly used in manufacturing plants, warehouses, packaging units, and assembly lines to facilitate smooth operations.
Why Are They Important In Factory Safety & Communication?
In every industry, time is of the essence, and each minute needs to be spent properly. Effective communication is necessary, and signal towers help reduce the risks and downtime during operations through the use of visual pointers and cues.
- Enhanced Worker Safety
Workers have the ability to quickly attend to issues before they pose a danger to the workplace. Alerts regarding malfunctions, overheating, and stopping a machine in emergency cases allow instant reaction and tactful resolutions.
- Operational Transparency
Supervisors and operators are able to hear and see audibly and visually in real time the status of machines and equipment, whether the machine is running, idle, or in fault mode, through color coded lights and alarms.
- Minimized Downtime
If instant problem reporting is done, preventive maintenance is performed before the problem gets worse, and instead of a machine being down, the overall equipment effectiveness is higher.
- Smart Factory Integration
Real time monitoring can be done to modern Patlite towers through IoT and Industry 4.0, which are able to connect to central monitoring units.
