The Same Impact Zones. The Same Repair Cycle.
The same high-traffic zones experience repeated impacts. Without engineered protection, repairs become routine and operational flow is disrupted.
When steel barriers are hit, energy transfers into anchors and concrete. Repairs require drilling, curing, and aisle shutdowns that disrupt production flow.
Repeated impact with racking and asset frames weaken structural integrity. What starts as minor damage can cause downtime and compliance issues.
Forklifts, tuggers, and pedestrians move through the same zones every day. Without engineered segregation, impact becomes routine instead of preventable.
Every repair redirects labor, delays output, and interrupts production flow. In automotive manufacturing, even short stops ripple across the line.
How Impact Becomes Downtime
In automotive facilities, impact is rarely a one-time event.
When steel transfers force into the floor, the damage moves beyond the barrier and into operations.
- Concrete repairs
- Closed aisles
- Interrupted Just-In-Time flow
- Overtime labor to recover production loss
The physical damage may be visible.
The operational cost is not.
Why Steel Extends the Damage Cycle
Steel Barriers:
- Transfer impact into the floor
- Crack concrete around anchor bolts
- Bend permanently after collisions
- Require repair, replacement, and repainting
- Keep aisles closed longer than expected
A-SAFE Polymer Barriers:
- Absorb impact instead of passing it to the floor
- Protect concrete and anchor points
- Flex and return to shape after impact
- Do not require repainting
- Reduce repeat repairs and extended downtime
