Many facilities, such as factories and warehouses, have installed high-speed open-close shutters made from lightweight materials to enhance the efficiency of item conveyance and optimize air conditioning at delivery entrances and between work areas. On factory floors, workers and vehicles like forklifts frequently intersect in the areas where these shutters operate. Therefore, it is crucial to implement measures to ensure worker safety, preventing accidents involving personnel and vehicles. These measures should not only facilitate the smooth distribution of cargo but also improve energy and air conditioning efficiency by minimizing unnecessary shutter movements, and enhance sanitary management by reducing the risk of foreign objects being mistakenly included.
Optex has a strong track record with shutter sensors in the domestic market and has gained expertise in entrance products globally through our automatic door sensor business. Building on this solid foundation, we have developed a product that combines safety with environmental efficiency. We aim to leverage this product to establish a presence in the large shutter markets of India.
