Common Uses of Sounders and Beacons
Hugely important for factory and warehouse safety sounders and beacons are used to alert workers to many different things that could be going on in the factory and help keep them safe.
This could simply be alerting a user that a there is a fault on a productions line to helping direct traffic around a factory or warehouse floor without incident.
Beacons are also used in other industries that you may not have considered such as aviation and marine. They are used to warn aircraft of any tall buildings they may encounter or to keep people safe on large ships.
They can also be used as a key security tool to warn of any security breach in a building or yard. A beacon and sounder going off can be a great deterrent on the outside of a building.
