In the mechanical engineering industry, common logistics challenges include complex material flows, safety risks when handling heavy components, and long transportation distances. At Siemens' electric motor plant in Bad Neustadt, a bottleneck in the pathways almost led to structural changes, costing valuable assembly space. The Linde Safety Guard efficiently solved this issue, improving logistics processes by making them safer and more effective.

Case Intro Teaser Item

Challenges:

Safety risks: Handling heavy machinery and large components increases the risk of accidents.
Flexibility: Changes in production often require quick adjustments to logistics processes.
Existing and new buildings with varying infrastructure: The combined use of truck and pedestrian paths leads to logistical challenges. Separating these paths would require structural changes in the plant, resulting in space loss and additional costs.

Solution:

Linde Safety Guard with speed regulation: Forklift trucks automatically slow down in narrow passages to minimize collision risks.
Access management and traffic light control: Lighting and traffic lights inform pedestrians and forklift operators about potential hazards in advance.
Custom speed adjustment: Truck speed is reduced in danger zones and released after exiting the restricted area.
Avoidance of structural changes: Linde Safety Guard efficiently utilizes existing infrastructure without requiring any building modifications.

Results:

Preservation of assembly space: Structural changes are no longer necessary, ensuring optimal use of available space.
Enhanced safety for all parties: The efficient speed regulation and signal control increase safety.
Part of the safety culture: The Linde Safety Guard supports Siemens' "zero accidents" principle and promotes a secure working environment.
