Meet the New Network-Capable WE-LAN Wall Mount Signal Tower

Introducing customized indication for every step with PATLITE’s latest signaling solution, the LAN-controlled WE-LAN wall mount signal tower. Designed with customization and limitless user possibilities at the forefront, PATLITE’s new WE-LAN features curated signaling with streamlined modularity for the modern facility. Use the WE-LAN’s nine different colors to show signaling in your facility your way to distinguish abnormalities and quickly identify different machinery and their respective statuses. The WE-LAN's flowing light is displayed sequentially, flowingly, showing the direction of travel and steps. Uniquely, the WE-LAN has a special softer light setting where light glows gently like a firefly making it suitable for offices, hospitals and nursing homes.

The Proof is in the Display

Today’s facilities are complex and require unique safety and security protocols in place to adhere to modern standards and regulations. To this effect, PATLITE’s WE-LAN shines – quite literally – with the possibility of a customizable display. You can tailor your safety notifications for in-house scenarios specific to your facility and not just settle for out-of-the-box locked signaling presets. The WE-LAN’s superior signaling is instantly noticeable from far distances as all tiers light up and blink with the same color, making for a better visual representation and more prominent than a conventional one-tier alert. Furthermore, it can be flashed for an even more intense display in case of disaster or other emergencies.

The LAN of Opportunity On the network side, the WE-LAN’s easy-to-use network protocols give it a simplified approach for any unique factory configuration. The WE-LAN’s easy-to-use network protocols allow general-purpose protocols like HTTP and Modbus TCP/IP to be supported so implementation can be done with minimal development effort on the user end. It also supports SOCKET communications and PNS commands, developed by PATLITE, which can be used so existing products can be easily replaced. Internally, the WE-LAN was produced with several regulations in mind. It complies with different safety and environmental standards — including CE, RoHS, UL and FCC — allowing it to be used globally. Furthermore, the RJ45 female connector cable attached to the unit can be connected to a LAN cable and compared to discrete-wire type products, this reduces the man-hours required for wiring. This cabling setup makes maintenance manageable by removing the unit from the connection terminal.

Application Examples Application Example #1 Industrial and manufacturing machines are similar to computers, and they are sophisticated systems that need ample time to boot up in order to operate correctly. During this startup time, factory workers need clear and reliable indication to avoid interfering with the machine’s vital warm-up process. PATLITE’s new WE-LAN wall mount signal tower has the necessary signaling capabilities to meet this demand and assure indication for machine readiness. Its reliable definite right-to-left sweeping motion light display clearly indicates when a machine is in a non-operative state and cannot be utilized at that time so that workers won’t interfere with this process. Once the machine’s warm-up process is complete and ready for operation, simply reconfigure the WE-LAN’s signaling to an active state letting workers now work can now resume in that station.

Application Example #2 Fatigue is real, especially when dealing with various pieces of machinery that all flash or alert in some way. This workplace fatigue can be a literal headache for anyone. A quick solution to this real-world dilemma is to implement PATLITE’s new WE-LAN wall mount signal tower into your factory arrangement. The WE-LAN’s gentle color options include sky blue, purple and pink. A pleasant light setting also reduces light noise, making it noticeable yet easier on the eyes. Having different color options for your factory signaling can be very beneficial to not only help you distinguish various machines, but also eases signal fatigue that might present itself in the workplace. Happy workers equal
