Arc Document Solutions Uses Custom Days Without Incidents Counter to Track Workplace Safety
See similar product: DC-40T-UP-DAYS-W
Tracking workplace safety is an important part of maintaining a safe and productive work environment. For Arc Document Solutions, having a highly visible way to track the number of days that have passed without an injury provides employees with a constant reminder of the company’s commitment to workplace safety.
To support this goal, Arc Document Solutions purchased a customized Days Without Incidents Counter built around DC-Digital’s standard DC-40T-UP-DAYS Count Up by Days Timer. Rather than using a standard DC-Digital enclosure, Arc Document Solutions integrated the DC-Digital counter into its own custom-built enclosure, creating a one-of-one finished display specifically suited to its application.
Custom Days Without Incidents Counter
The DC-Digital DC-40T-UP-DAYS is designed to automatically increment its displayed value once every 24 hours. This makes it well suited for applications where organizations need to track consecutive days, including workplace safety programs, days without injuries, production milestones, operational achievements, and other long-term events.
For Arc Document Solutions, the counter is being used specifically to keep track of the number of days that have passed without an injury. The large green LED digits provide a highly visible indication of the current safety record, allowing employees and visitors to quickly see how many consecutive days have been completed.
The counter can display up to 9,999 days, giving the unit the capability to track a safety record for many years without requiring a different display.
Four-Inch Green LED Digits Provide Easy Visibility
The DC-40T-UP-DAYS uses four-inch green LED digits that can be viewed from approximately 200 feet. This makes the counter practical for installation in a manufacturing, production, office, warehouse, or other workplace environment where the safety record needs to remain visible from a distance.
With dimensions of approximately 16-1/4 inches wide by 6-3/4 inches tall by 3 inches deep, the display provides a large, easy-to-read numerical presentation while maintaining a relatively compact overall footprint.
For Arc Document Solutions, incorporating the DC-Digital counter into its own custom-built enclosure allowed the company to create a finished product that met its specific installation and appearance requirements.
Wireless Control for Easy Operation
The DC-40T-UP-DAYS is operated using a 2.4 GHz RF wireless handheld controller. The controller provides approximately 150 feet of range and uses membrane switches for operation.
The wireless controller provides several functions for managing the displayed count, including:
- Increment
- Decrement
- Set
- Reset to Zero
These controls give Arc Document Solutions the flexibility to establish the starting value of its safety counter, make adjustments when necessary, and reset the counter when required.
The automatic count function is particularly useful for a Days Without Incidents application because the display increments once every 24 hours without requiring employees to manually advance the number each day.
Built for Long-Term Days Counting
The DC-40T-UP-DAYS is designed specifically for applications that require counting by days rather than hours, minutes, or seconds. Once configured, the display tracks the passage of each 24-hour period and increases the displayed count accordingly.
For a workplace safety application, this provides a straightforward way to communicate a company’s ongoing safety performance. Instead of requiring employees to calculate the number of days since an incident, the display continuously provides the current total.
The ability to count to 9,999 days also gives organizations plenty of room to track long-term safety milestones. As the counter continues to accumulate days, the display can become a highly visible representation of an organization’s commitment to maintaining a safe workplace.
One-of-One Custom Integration
One of the advantages of working with DC-Digital is the ability to incorporate standard display technology into custom customer solutions. In this case, DC-Digital supplied the standard DC-40T-UP-DAYS counter, while Arc Document Solutions inserted the DC-Digital unit into its own custom-built enclosure.
This created a one-of-one configuration combining DC-Digital’s proven digital counting technology with Arc Document Solutions’ own enclosure design.
The standard DC-40T-UP-DAYS is available with an all-aluminum enclosure that is tough, fingerprint resistant, and black powder coated, with additional enclosure options available for applications requiring different environmental protection. However, Arc Document Solutions’ decision to use its own enclosure demonstrates how DC-Digital displays can also be incorporated into customer-designed equipment and assemblies.
A Highly Visible Reminder of Workplace Safety
A Days Without Incidents Counter serves more than simply displaying a number. By placing the safety record in a highly visible location, the counter can help keep workplace safety at the forefront of employees’ minds.
For Arc Document Solutions, the customized counter provides an easy-to-understand measurement of its safety record. Each additional day represents another day without an injury, while the large green LED display makes that accomplishment visible throughout the facility.
The DC-40T-UP-DAYS provides the automatic day-by-day counting functionality, wireless control, large four-inch digits, and long counting range needed for this type of application. Arc Document Solutions’ custom enclosure integration then transformed the standard DC-Digital counter into a unique, one-of-one Days Without Incidents display tailored to its needs.
DC-Digital manufactures industrial LED timers, counters, clocks, and number displays in the USA. Standard products can be customized for specific applications, and custom-built displays can be engineered to meet unique customer requirements.
