Safety systems manufacturer Axelent will exhibit its new range of McCue pedestrian barriers on its stand number C115 at AUSPACK 2019.

Designed to protect pedestrians, machines, forklifts, racking, and facilities, the McCue range is a complete safety concept, according to Drew Hoxey, sales director at Axelent.

“The McCue range of pedestrian barriers and partitioning systems are designed for any industry that has a warehouse, logistics centre, manufacturing facility, pedestrian or forklift zone. Axelent can help find the right amount of protection for your facility,” said Hoxey.

McCue is suitable for industries including food and beverage, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, transport and logistics, building and construction, and mining, and complements Axelent’s existing X-Guard safety guarding and X-Tray cable tray systems, said Hoxey.

“It offers an extensive variety of solutions protecting everything from wall perimeters to racking, creating traffic lanes, posts, bollards, framing off areas, guard rails, and separating equipment from pedestrians.

“The easy-to-install flexible McCue range is designed for areas that need an extra level of protection. With easy to cut polymers, this system can be adapted to your facility,” he said.

Nearly 6 in 10 Aussies in food and beverage manufacturing believe their organisation is becoming less productive, despite continued investment in workplace technology, according to Argon & Co.

Every food, drink, personal care and household product made in Australia starts with an investment decision. A company chooses to replace a production line, automate a process or expand a plant. That choice is now made in a global market for capital, and Australia is struggling to compete. The question is simple. Will the next generation of manufacturing investment come here?
