Loading bays can be a very busy place. Vehicles carrying various kinds of goods are going to and fro throughout most of the day from one place to another. In this case, traffic is definitely unavoidable much of the time. And in order to minimise traffic and organise every vehicle in operation, traffic lights were invented. They help to facilitate the movement of vehicles to avoid collisions, and at the same time help people become more disciplined. And speaking of traffic lights, there are different types of traffic lights that are being used today depending on the application it will be used for.
So this week’s subject is about a specific type of traffic light, the IPN/002 Series, a 2-way LED Traffic Light and our product of the month for May 2017. We’re also going to briefly discuss about its primary features and as well as its capabilities that make it stand out above the other traffic light devices.
IPN/002 Series Features
