AutoStrad™ Terminal case history – ReeR Safety Solution

Perimeter Protection Solutions with Safety light curtains for outdoor and harsh environments

Perimeter protection with safety light curtains and fences with controlled gates is an essential solution for preventing unauthorized access to hazardous areas in industrial environments. This system is particularly effective for monitoring large areas, including outdoor areas exposed to harsh environmental conditions, such as in automated ports and outdoor industrial facilities.

Success Story: Improving safety at the Port of Brisbane

ReeR Spa’s successful application focused on the Port of Brisbane, specifically within its advanced automated terminal, the AutoStrad™ Terminal. This state-of-the-art facility is an example of large-scale port automation, where overhead cranes, quay cranes and Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs) work in concert to efficiently manage container loading and unloading operations.

Automation minimizes human intervention, which brings significant benefits in terms of safety and operational efficiency, but also presents new challenges in terms of security and access control.

In a highly automated environment such as the AutoStrad™ terminal, it is essential to have an advanced security system that prevents unauthorized access to operational areas where automated container handling and the operation of self-driving vehicles pose potential security risks.

Safety solutions must also be able to respond to adverse environmental conditions such as rain, snow, salt spray and intense sunlight that are typical of port and industrial environments. Only a robust and reliable security system can prevent risks, protect people and ensure business continuity in such complex environments.
