Industrial Automation: AGVs, production line sliding doors, and telescopic arms are equipped with safety edges that brake and alarm upon contact with shelves or people.
Elevator Industry: Car doors and landing doors are equipped with edge guards to prevent pinching injuries, but this has limitations. In July 2022, a woman was injured when her dog's leash became trapped in the elevator door as the elevator ascended. This was due to the device's blind spot for delicate objects, and the woman failed to release the leash in time. Therefore, safety edges are not a panacea; passengers should be vigilant, and maintenance providers should improve their technology.
Logistics and Warehousing: Stacker forks are equipped with edge guards to stop immediately upon encountering obstacles to prevent cargo from falling.
Medical Equipment: MRI scanners are equipped with edge guards to prevent patients from accidentally touching and injuring them.
