Pallet Rack Safety Monitoring System
Comprehensive safety monitoring for modern warehouses
Device
Installing Rack Sentinel is remarkably quick and straightforward. Each device can be set up in just 1 to 3 minutes, making the process efficient whether you're equipping a small storage area or a massive warehouse. In fact, our system supports installations of up to 88,209 units within the same facility, offering unparalleled scalability to meet your needs.
Rack Sentinel is engineered to perform reliably in even the most challenging conditions. It operates flawlessly in extreme temperatures ranging from -30°C to 80°C, ensuring consistent monitoring regardless of your environment. Dusty or dirty settings are no obstacle—the device's performance remains unaffected, as its communication capabilities allow messages to pass through walls without interference.
Designed with practicality in mind, Rack Sentinel is mounted on the back side of load beams, protecting it from potential damage caused by front-end impacts, such as accidental contacts with forklifts. From there it continuously tracks pallet rack beam deflection, preserving the device's integrity while ensuring continuous operation without the risk of physical disruption.
Catching forklift impact damage, not just overload
Most rack failures start with a hit nobody logged. A forklift clips an upright, the column goes slightly out of plumb, and the bay keeps getting loaded as if nothing happened — until the weakened upright lets go. RackSentinel works as a rack impact sensor for exactly this blind spot: each device tracks the upright's out-of-plumb and out-of-straight movement, so a strike that shifts a column past its safe tolerance raises a real-time alert instead of waiting for the next quarterly walk-through.
It is not a bumper or a guardrail — it does not stop the forklift. It does something physical rack protection cannot: it tells you when a rack has moved past its safe tolerance, on which bay, the moment it happens. Paired with beam-deflection monitoring for overload, that covers both of the most common rack collapse causes — impact and overload — with the same wireless sensor network.
Robust Communication Infrastructure
Rack Sentinel utilizes a robust communication infrastructure that ensures reliable performance without the need for extensive Wi-Fi coverage throughout your warehouse. Each device communicates with the gateway via encoded radio signals, eliminating interference with Wi-Fi networks and other wireless devices. With a designed range of up to 100 meters, our system is adaptable to various warehouse layouts and sizes. For larger facilities or complex environments, you can install multiple gateways to maintain seamless communication. A handheld unit is available to verify signal strength during installation, ensuring optimal setup and coverage.
In the event of a Wi-Fi outage, Rack Sentinel is designed to automatically resume functionality once connectivity is restored, minimizing any potential downtime and keeping watch for the early warning signs behind common rack collapse causes.
