WE-LAN Application Examples

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.


WE/WEP Application Example



In a busy manufacturing plant where efficiency and safety take center, the operators of a high-pressure washdown machine aim to implement a sleek and horizontal signaling solution directly on the machine in place of a traditional pole-mounted stack light. This is where PATLITE's WE and WEP signal towers come into play. These versatile signal towers offer not only horizontal placement but also vertical placement, providing a dynamic solution tailored to meet the plant's specific needs.

Moreover, the adaptability of the WE and WEP signal towers shine through in this manufacturing setting. The towers seamlessly integrate with existing systems, such as PLCs or SCADA networks, providing synchronized and streamlined signaling solutions.

With PATLITE's WE and WEP products in place, the manufacturing plant enjoys improved efficiency and enhanced safety measures in a form factor that satisfies the needs of the operators. Production teams can work confidently, knowing they are well-informed and supported by state-of-the-art signaling solutions. The towers’ efficiency, reliability and adaptability make it an indispensable tool in any workplace where communication and safety are paramount.
