The Importance of Installing Infrared Safety Beams on Commercial Garage Doors

/in , , , , /by

An established business owns many assets. Among these many assets are vehicles. It is the responsibility of a company to keep these vehicles safe and well maintained. This is important so that the vehicle will continue to serve the company for a long time. One of the ways to protect company vehicles is by installing a commercial garage door.

A company can further protect its vehicles from harm by installing a commercial garage door with an infrared safety beam. Infrared safety beam technology is one of the most significant inventions in garage door history. The infrared safety beam is basic motion detection technology. It works by automatically reversing the closing of the door if it senses that something is blocking the way or if something breaks the beam as the door is closing.

You can buy a garage door that includes an infrared safety beam. Alternatively, you can buy the safety beam separately if you already have a commercial garage door. In either case, it is a good idea to call a professional to install your garage doors and/or your garage door’s infrared safety beam. There are several reasons why it is important to have an infrared safety beam installed with your commercial garage door.

Protection for your Company Vehicles

Safety sensors provide protection to your car. If you neglect to park the vehicle far enough inside the garage, an infrared safety beam will not allow the garage door to close. It will remind you always to park the vehicle properly.

Protection against Theft and Harsh Weather

You could unintentionally leave the garage door open when you park the car. An infrared safety beam will alert you that the garage door is still open and remind you to close the door. There are advanced safety beams technologies that will even close the door for you. Closing the garage door after you is important to prevent theft or damage to the vehicle, especially when the weather is very cold.

A high-quality infrared safety beam is a good investment for your company. If you are ready to invest in an infrared safety beam, seek the help of a good garage door installer or a reliable supplier. If you have a very old garage door, you need to call the manufacturer before your purchase an infrared safety beam. This will prevent compatibility between the existing garage door and the new safety beam. If your place of business still does not have a commercial garage door, it is a good idea to hire a good garage door installer who has the experience and training to install the unit properly.

Adding Logic Control to Your Industrial and Commercial Roller Shutters

Businesses put a lot of effort into securing their property and investment. Providing roller gates with added security is one way that industrial and commercial operations can improve their security system. Roller doors are very effective in keeping out thieves and protecting the premises from accidents.

Industrial and commercial roller shutters not only give effective protection to the valuable property and assets within the premises, they are also valuable in securing the premises against unauthorised entries. Adding a logic control to industrial roller doors will further enhance their security features.

What is Programmable Logic Controllers?

Programmable logic controller (PLC) is used for automation of various electromechanical machines and processes. Widely used in assembly lines in manufacturing facilities, the PLC is composed of input and output units and a central processing unit built in the same box. The logic controller provides the business with a compact and easy solution for automating various machines and processes.

Application in Roller Doors

Logic controllers can be applied to roller doors for its automation. This can be as simple as programming the light switch on the garage doors or may be made of complex logic to interconnect the overall security and alarm systems in the facility.

The logic controller can be programmed to meet different requirements in the industrial or commercial setting. It can be programmed to open or close the roller door using a remote control. There can also be a program to turn on the lights whenever the roller door is opened and turned off after a few minutes once the roller door is closed.

The logic controller can also be used to integrate the fire alarm system with the smoke detector in the building. For added security, the roller door can be programmed to alert authorities if ever there is a breach of security in the area. The PLC can integrate security cameras, alarms and other security features for a more efficient security program.

The possible programs for the logic controller are broad and will be determined by the needs and requirements that the business will cite. Though some technical and programming techniques, an ordinary commercial roller door can be turned into a sophisticated security mechanism.

Automating roller doors is a great way of improving security and protection in an industrial or commercial facility. For businesses that require a more innovative and sophisticated security and automation, programmable logic controllers are the way to go.
