Mobile robot maker ResGreen has engineered and installed twelve outlets that enable stop sign projections for Stanley, a leading automotive supplier. The stop signs are projected on the floor of Stanley’s facility in London, Ohio, at high-traffic intersections to alert fork truck drivers and employees that an Automatic Guided Vehicle is approaching.

Stanley was already using ResGreen’s BotWay software when it decided that it needed a new solution to improve safety at its plant. ResGreen developed the outlets to connect to BotWay software, which turns the dynamic stop signs on when an AGV is close to an intersection.

BotWay is an open-architecture, advanced traffic management and monitoring software that controls AGVs AMRs, and industrial automation devices, such as the switches for the projection stop signs. BotWay can also interface with equipment from other manufacturers.

The outlets and BotWay use LoRa wireless technology to communicate with each other because static in the plant blocks WiFi signals.

The switches, along with ResGreen’s wireless pushbuttons, indictor lights and foot pedals, are also compatible with 2.4GHz and 5 GHz WiFi and Bluetooth.

“We are impressed with ResGreen team’s ingenuity, drive and dedication to solving our unique challenges,” said Dan Bayer, Sr. Manager of Production Control, Production Planning and SNAP at Stanley. “From software to stop signs, ResGreen has proven itself to be a trusted partner in automating our material handling processes.”
