PATLITE is developing a number of solutions that combine signal towers (signal lights) and indicator lights with IT technology. At "METALEX 2020" held in Bangkok in November, we presented 5 patterns of solutions developed with partner companies with advanced technology that contribute to business improvement. All are highly versatile systems that can be used in various ways.
In this article, we will introduce ideas for effective usage with a focus on the "visualization" of business.
1. Facial recognition (biometric recognition) centralized management system
PATLITE × DIA (Dynamics Intelligence Asia)
Facial recognition of multiple people is performed simultaneously and at high speed, and notifies of the entry and exit of people with light and sound. It distinguishes between people registered in the system and people who are not registered, and displays various information about those individuals.
"Visualization" ideas
・ Distinguish between employees and visitors and record who enters and exits and when
・ Identify VIPs who visit the store and inform the concerned parties
2. Facial recognition & temperature measurement - unmanned reception system
PATLITE × VST ECS
An unmanned reception system that performs facial recognition and body temperature measurement at the same time. In addition to being able to identify people from facial images, phrases such as "Please wait for a while" can be voiced to visitors while reducing the risk of infectious diseases.
By applying this, the following utilization can be considered.
"Visualization" ideas
・ Recognizes the faces of workers in the factory. Warn of non-related people’s entry
・ Register the faces of users, family members, and staff of nursing homes. Prevent wandering of users due to dementia
3. RFID tag management / alert system
PATLITE × Freewill-Mars Tohken
Freewill-Mars Tohken's RFID (identification technology using an IC tag / RF tag) and the signal towers work together. Just by passing in front of the sensor, it instantly "visualizes" the entry, exit, and situation of people and things.
"Visualization" ideas
・ Attach to products and employee ID cards to centrally manage who moved, when, and what
・ Notify of the passage of prohibited items and prevent erroneous delivery
4. Factory production status management system
PATLITE × zenalyse
A signal light with a transmitter collects operational information of each machine in the factory, and the system automatically aggregates them. "Who manufactures what, how many, and by what time" and "progress" can be seen at a glance.
"Visualization" ideas
・ Centrally manages and monitors worker information and production status
・ Be able to grasp equipment troubles in real-time even from a remote location.
5. Remote cargo loading management system
PATLITE × iCONEXT
A solution for logistics warehouses that shows the progress of the loading site by the number of lights in the signal tower and can grasp the situation in real-time even from a remote location.

"Visualization" ideas
・ Real-time warning of picking / shipping / loading errors
・ Number of lit lights = progress that can be seen at a glance
