01
Detect
Sensors monitor one or both approaches to a blind opening or intersection.
SOS ALERTGUARD
Blind Spot & Pedestrian Alerts
Real-time warning systems for locations where pedestrians and vehicles cannot easily see approaching traffic.
Best fit: Blind doorways, rack ends, corners and cross-aisles.

HOW IT WORKS
A Typical AlertGuard Sequence
The exact sequence is configured for the application, but the system logic commonly follows this pattern.
02
Determine
Logic identifies whether a pedestrian, vehicle or conflicting movement is present.
03
Alert
Wall-mounted lights, beacons and/or audible warnings notify the opposite approach.
04
Clear
Warnings automatically reset when the detection zone is clear.
TYPICAL SYSTEM ELEMENTS
Technology That May Be Used
The final bill of materials depends on the site, but these are common components in this solution family.
Radar or presence sensors
Wall-frame warning lights
Traffic beacons
Audible alarms
Directional indicators
Compact control logic
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Application Details Matter
Sensor placement, wall geometry, vehicle direction, false-trigger prevention, warning visibility and whether the alert needs to distinguish pedestrians from vehicles are key design factors.
COMMON APPLICATIONS
Where AlertGuard Can Fit
The final design depends on traffic, visibility, equipment and operating logic, but these are common application types.
Blind personnel doors
Rack-end intersections
Cross aisles
Production doorways
Low-visibility corners
RELATED SOS SOLUTIONS
Technologies That Often Work Together
Many applications combine more than one SOS solution family.
NOT SURE WHICH SOS SOLUTION FITS?
Start With the Operating Problem
A crossing, blind spot, dock, traffic control or mobile equipment problem may use more than one SOS solution family. SOS can help evaluate the application before you choose the technology.
Have a Blind Spot & Pedestrian Alerts Application?
Share the traffic pattern, facility area or operating challenge and SOS can help evaluate the right combination of technology and controls.
