Problem:
This company provides packaging for automotive fluids and other chemicals. The product is brought in by freight cars very close to employee entrances. Management required a means for displaying safety information to employees.
Solution:
A Data Masters LED Outdoor Display along with a discrete input interface was integrated into their safety system. The LED Display was installed by the dock doors with pre-canned messages that simply showed date and time when traffic was of no concern, and a message that displayed "train approaching!" This was to keep employees from stepping out of that specific dock door.
Data Source:
A contact closure from the freight train signaling system closed to trigger the warning message via the Discrete Input Interface module.
ROI:
Savings were calculated to be over $5,000/year based on savings from OSHA and insurance ratings. Payback for the display was less than 11 months.
