Safety Line

Agenda

• About Cy.Pag.

• Safety Line

– Functionality

– Competitive advantages

Cy.Pag.

• Founded in 1995, with main business

production of pneumatic cylinders

• Constant and profitable growth in

revenue, employees, product

lines, today counting more than 50

employees and 3000 sqm plant

• Serves customers in more than 50

countries, export is 60% of turnover

• Introduced in 2009 its Safety Line, to

address the market for active safety in

industrial vehicles and automation

Why does this happen?

Because

• Drivers are not trained properly

• Even trained drivers are human, thus make

mistakes

AND

there are no ACTIVE SAFETY systems on board

Introducing the Safety Line• It is a unique, cost efficient, flexible

ACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEM for industrial

and commercial vehicles

• ACTIVE SAFETY means the system

uses the state of the vehicle to both

avoid and prevent the effects of a crash

• If there is a risk of imminent impact due

to poor visibility or operator

distraction, the safety line PREVENTS

ACCIDENTS by slowing down and

stopping all movements.

• It is UNIQUE as the ONLY active safety

system in the marketplace now, with

INNOVATIVE design concepts, with high

FLEXIBILITY of configuration, at

affordable COST

Components and functions

Main control unit• Manages all the active safety logic

• Receives input from sensors

(distance, weight, cameras etc)

• Manages I/O with HMI devices (Human Machine

Interface) such as alarm LEDs, monitors, buttons

Components and functions

Sensors• Provide input on vehicle status and dynamics

• Distance, weight, balance, temperature, etc

• E.g. distance: can be configured in “green

zone”, “orange zone”, “red zone”

Components and functions

Human Machine Interface• LEDs/lights to alert driver

• Camera + Monitor to show danger areas

• Buttons to unlock motor stop (if in red zones)

• Other e.g. magnetic card readers to identify

authorized drivers

Applications

Forklift trucks

Construction

Forklift accidents (US)

• about 85fatalities per year, 34,900 serious injuries and 61,800

non-serious injuries.

• According to the Industrial Truck Association, over 11 percent will

be involved in some type of accident each year

• The ITA also reports that the useful life of a lift truck is eight

years, which means that about 90 percent of all forklifts will be

involved in some type of accident during their useful life.

Forklift accidents (US)

• 92% of accidents may be avoided by the Safety Line system

Compelling reasons to invest

• Cost of material and productivity losses in your business– Costs of damaged assets

– Costs of injured workers

• Cost of regulatory non compliances– E.g. in Italy a company is shut down and gets fines up to €

300.000

– In extreme cases: criminal sentences

• Insurance costs– To cover your own or 3rd party damaged assets

– To cover your own or other people’s health damages (or death)

Competitive advantages

• Complete active safety– No competitor provides true ACTIVE safety, mostly passive

alarm systems

• Flexibility– Works with different type of sensors, cameras, HMIs, to

adapt to each specific use case/applications

• Cost – Extremely competitive cost

• Design– Attention to ease of installation, use, etc
