Rite-Hite creates LED Virtual Vision that alerts employees when workers are on the other side of door

Rite-Hite introduced it's LED Virtual Vision lights that allows workers to “see” through the door with red LED lights that indicate when another worker or object is approaching the door from the other side. The light communication system uses a motion sensor on each side of the door. When the sensors detect an object approaching the door area, a strip of red light emitting diodes (LEDs) begin flashing on the opposite side of the door.

This system is an alternative to – or can be the perfect complement to – high-speed doors that use clear plastic vision panels. LED lights are typically placed just outside of the door’s frame on each side, but they can be set up anywhere that promotes the easiest visual for forklift operators and personnel.
