Linde Operator Assistance System
The Linde Operator Assistance System (LOAS) is a
system for the working environment of industrial
trucks. It gives signals to the driver and pedestrians
in case of proximity.
It is explicitly not a safety system!
As the LOAS does not exempt the driver and all
people within the workplace from their
responsibility and duty of care, drivers and all
other people have to ensure that they are
behaving in a safe manner in all situations.
Functional description
The Linde Operator Assistance System is a wireless
radio-based assistance system for giving signals to
people and objects in defined detection areas in
industrial environments.
The system wirelessly measures the distance
between the component mounted on the industrial
truck, components at fixed positions in the working
area and the mobile components that individuals
carry on their person.
In this way, the assistance system can effectively use
LED displays, sounds and vibration alarms to inform
people of the presence of industrial trucks.
For an early and effective signal, the Truck Unit has
configurable signaling zones. The shape of the zones
are designed to respect the typical movement of an
industrial truck.
The size of the areas can be configured and have to
be adapted to the work environment before initial
commissioning.
The extended area can be configured in such a way
that it covers a cone shaped area to the front and rear
(refer to Figure 1). Within this area, the direction
towards people equipped with a Distance Beeper is
displayed. T
Components
As standard, LOAS contains the following
components. The description is structured in truck,
fixed and mobile components:
Truck components
TRUCK UNIT
The Truck Unit is the display unit for
the truck driver. Sensors are
connected via cables to detect fixed
and mobile components via local radio
network
SENSORS
Sensors that are connected to the
Truck Unit. Typically, four sensors are
used per truck.
