Why Wire Guidance?

5.25kHz/6.25kHz frequency wire is integrated into the floor, precisely cut in the middle of racking aisles to ensure smooth and safe operation. Wire is coated with epoxy to protect beneath the concrete surface. Specialized wire guided vehicles, such as turret trucks and order pickers are paired with sensors that receive electromagnetic signals from the wire guided system. While paired, the vehicles will move in a north and south direction only until completely out of the system. Once out of the aisle and disconnected, typically 15 feet, maneuverability resumes as normal and operators are now able to turn in a safe area in tunnels or ends of aisles.
