Mixed-traffic facilities face significant safety challenges where pedestrians and industrial vehicles share the same floor space. GuardBot Automated Industrial Safety Gates provide an active defense by integrating physical access control with automated visual warning systems. Unlike standard gates, GuardBot uses sensing technology and connected projectors to communicate intent to both walkers and drivers simultaneously. This dual-layer approach ensures that safety protocols are enforced, supporting your facility’s Zero-Accident Handling goals and reducing the risk of forklift-related injuries.

GuardBot combines a physical safety gate with sensing technology and connected visual projectors. When the gate opens or the system detects a pedestrian, it activates a warning sequence that communicates the crossing condition to both pedestrians and vehicle operators. This dual-layer approach provides physical access control along with an automated visual warning at shared traffic points.
The warning system can activate when a swing gate is opened or triggered. GuardBot can also integrate with sensing fields that detect a person’s presence and initiate the warning sequence before the gate is touched. The appropriate activation method depends on the crossing layout, pedestrian path, vehicle traffic, and operating sequence required at your facility.
GuardBot provides visual traffic-control warnings for forklifts, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and tugger trains operating near pedestrian crossings. Connected projectors display high-visibility “Stop” indicators on the floor to give approaching vehicle operators clear instructions. The warning area and activation sequence should be configured around vehicle routes, stopping distances, sightlines, and crossing locations.
GuardBot supports vertical-lift and horizontal-swing gate movements. Vertical-lift gates can help preserve usable space in tighter aisleways, while horizontal-swing gates can fit entrances where sufficient swing clearance is available. Selecting the appropriate style depends on the opening width, surrounding equipment, pedestrian flow, vehicle clearance, and available operating space.
GuardBot connects with safety projectors that place high-visibility warnings directly on the facility floor. When the gate or sensing field triggers the system, the projectors display a clear “Stop” indicator for nearby vehicle operators. GuardBot is compatible with JTEC Sign Projectors and Walkway Projectors, allowing physical access control and projected warnings to operate together.
GuardBot is intended for mixed-traffic areas where pedestrians and industrial vehicles share or cross the same floor space. Potential locations include pedestrian crossings near forklift aisles, AGV routes, tugger paths, and facility entrances. Final placement should account for traffic direction, visibility, stopping distance, crossing frequency, aisle width, and the required gate movement.
