Logistics Business magazine, in association with Sentry Protection Products, have produced a new digital issue / eBook about asset protection and warehouse safety. In this 6-page special, Editor Peter MacLeod interviews Sentry’s CEO and Founder Jim Ryan and details the company’s products and applications, including the Collision Sentry Multi-Zone warning system.
Innovative safety solutions are transforming warehouses. Discover how collision warning systems and modular protectors enhance safety and efficiency, including the Column Sentry FIT System and Collision Sentry Multi-Zone for high-traffic areas.
In recent years, we’ve taken great interest in the products brought to market by Sentry, who are experts at identifying areas of danger and coming up with seemingly simple solutions to reduce or eliminate warehouse accidents. But after many conversations with James Ryan only now do I fully comprehend the design and manufacture challenges that lie behind ‘simple’ solutions such as its Column Sentry rack protectors, and the lead time it takes to conceive, test, trial and manufacture, and then bring to market such a solution. Not to mention the various international standards to which it has to conform.
Given enough time, anyone could come up with a complicated solution to solve a problem. But real genius lies in the ability to develop a solution that is both brilliantly effective and brilliantly simple, the “why didn’t I think of that” type of product.
A year ago, Ryan showed me a prototype of the Collision Sentry Multi-Zone product, a development of an existing collision warning device that operates around internal and external warehouse doors. This is now fully introduced to the market, and Sentry will be promoting this at the forthcoming LogiMAT trade show from its booth in Hall 1. “It’s starting to solve some problems in high-traffic areas that we just could not in the past,” says Ryan. “We never expected it to be the high volume product that we see with our corner products, but it’s really nice to create a warning system for those other difficult areas where people can have accidents.”
