In busy industrial workspaces—where forklifts, heavy equipment, and foot traffic collide—faded painted safety markings (like caution zones or pedestrian paths) are a hidden risk. Noparde’s
Industrial Safety Projection System (Model: IS-P200) solves this by casting bright, long-lasting safety signs directly onto factory floors—adapting to dynamic work environments while eliminating the cost of repainting worn markings. This case study breaks down how the system transformed safety at a mid-sized warehouse and manufacturing facility.

The Problem: Faded, Inflexible Safety Markings
A 50,000 sq. ft. logistics warehouse faced two critical safety gaps:
- Worn Markings: Painted caution zones (for heavy pallets) and pedestrian paths faded after 3 months of forklift traffic, leading to 7 near-misses between workers and equipment in 6 months.
- Rigid Layouts: Fixed painted zones couldn’t adapt to shifting inventory storage—creating bottlenecks when the warehouse reorganized its pallet staging areas.
The facility needed a safety solution that was visible, durable, and flexible.

Noparde’s Solution: IS-P200 Industrial Safety Projectors
The warehouse deployed 12 Noparde IS-P200 projectors (mounted 4m high on ceiling beams) to replace traditional painted markings. The system’s key features aligned with the facility’s needs:
- Customizable Safety Markings: The projectors cast 3 core safety elements tailored to the workspace:
- Yellow Caution Zones: Bright yellow “SAFETY SHOES REQUIRED” labels and perimeter rings (for pallet storage areas), with high-contrast black text/icons that stand out against concrete floors.
- Red Stop Zones: Octagonal “STOP” markings at forklift intersection points, programmed to flash when equipment approaches (via sensor integration).
- Yellow Pedestrian Paths: Striped green-and-white walkways that guide workers away from high-traffic equipment lanes.
- Durability & Adaptability: IP65-rated for dust/water resistance (critical for warehouse environments), the projectors require zero maintenance—no repainting, no touch-ups. When the warehouse reorganized its layout, the markings were reconfigured via a mobile app in 15 minutes (vs. 2 days of repainting).
- Brightness Tuning: 4,000-lumen LED output ensures visibility even under harsh overhead lighting, with auto-dimming for late-night shifts to avoid glare.

The Results: Safer, More Efficient Operations
After 6 months of use, the warehouse saw measurable improvements:
- 58% Drop in Hazards: Near-misses between workers and equipment fell from 7 to 3, with zero incidents in the areas covered by projection markings.
- 70% Less Downtime: Reconfiguring safety zones no longer required shutting down work areas for painting—saving 12+ hours of operational downtime per layout change.
- 92% Worker Satisfaction: A staff survey found 92% of employees felt “more aware” of hazards, citing the bright, clear projections as easier to spot than faded paint.
Why Noparde’s Industrial Projections Outperform Painted Markings
For industrial workspaces, the IS-P200 system offers three unbeatable advantages:
- Visibility: High-contrast, adjustable-brightness markings cut through dust, lighting, and wear.
- Flexibility: Markings adapt to layout changes in minutes (no manual labor).
- Cost Savings: Eliminates annual repainting costs (up to $15,000 for mid-sized facilities) and reduces accident-related downtime.
