Define
Select the path, symbol, crossing or warning that needs to be communicated.
SOS PATHSENSE
Projected Safety & Guidance
Projected pathways, crossings, arrows, symbols and warnings that create highly visible guidance without relying only on paint or static signs.
Best fit: Dynamic walkways, crossings, symbols and floor warnings.

HOW IT WORKS
A Typical PathSense Sequence
The exact sequence is configured for the application, but the system logic commonly follows this pattern.
02
Project
Overhead industrial projectors create a highly visible floor graphic.
03
Trigger
Optional sensors or controls can change or activate graphics based on traffic conditions.
04
Integrate
Projection can work with signals, crossings, barriers or other SOS technologies.
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.
Industrial LED projectors
GOBO / graphic optics
Overhead mounts
Control relays / PLC outputs
Presence sensors
Crossing or traffic logic
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Application Details Matter
Mounting height, ambient light, projected width, floor color, graphic size, obstruction risk and whether the image is static or condition-driven determine projector selection and placement.
COMMON APPLICATIONS
Where PathSense Can Fit
The final design depends on traffic, visibility, equipment and operating logic, but these are common application types.
Pedestrian walkways
Temporary or changing traffic routes
High-visibility crossings
Staging guidance
Vehicle stop zones
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 Projected Safety & Guidance Application?
Share the traffic pattern, facility area or operating challenge and SOS can help evaluate the right combination of technology and controls.
