Industrial Audio Beacons
Audio beacons are devices that make sounds to help people find their way, especially those who are blind or have trouble seeing.
They work like sound signs, guiding people by using different beeping sounds, tones, or voice messages. For example, an audio beacon might help someone:
- Find the entrance to a building
- Know where to go inside a train station
- Follow a path in a museum
These devices are often placed in public places like bus stations, airports, offices, and museums to make it easier for everyone to get around safely and independently.
Types of Audio Beacons
Inaudible Sound Beacons
These are special sound signals that send information using very high or very low sound frequencies—so high or low that people can’t hear them. Even though we can’t hear these sounds, devices like smartphones can detect and use them to share data or give directions.
Audio Watermarking
This method hides information inside regular audio, like music or speech, in a way that most people won’t notice. It works a bit like a hidden message, or like putting a transparent stamp on a photo. The hidden information can later be picked up by special software.
Sound Beacons
This is another name for audio beacons. It highlights how sound is used to guide people or send data. These beacons can help with directions or location tracking, often used in places like shopping centers or train stations.
Audible Signaling Devices
Designed with a focus on reliability and safety, these devices are available for both panel and surface mounting. Sound levels range from 65 dB to as high as 120 dB for high-volume applications. The product lineup includes electronic sirens, alarm horns, and piezo buzzers, offered in multiple sizes, designs, and colors. Many models feature robust construction with protection ratings up to IP66, making them ideal for demanding environments.
Examples of Audible Signaling Devices
Electronic Sirens
Electronic sirens are powerful sound devices designed to alert people in emergencies or signal potentially dangerous situations. These high-performance alarm sounders are capable of generating loud signals up to 120 dB. Built for versatility, they can be installed in various positions—horizontal, vertical, angled, or on poles—depending on the application. With protection ratings reaching up to IP66, they are suitable for environments with high safety standards and demanding conditions.
Alarm Horns and Warning Horns
When strong acoustic signals are needed, alarm and warning horns provide a reliable solution. Designed for high sound output, these devices feature proven technology and deliver the classic, powerful horn sound. Compact models can reach sound levels up to 92 dB, while larger versions produce up to 108 dB. A range of models is available with protection ratings from IP22 up to IP66, making them suitable for various industrial and environmental conditions.
Piezo Buzzers
Piezo buzzers are ideal for situations where space is limited, such as inside control cabinets. Despite their compact size, they produce a distinctive buzzer sound with volumes reaching up to 105 dB, effectively signaling alerts and warnings in industrial settings. These buzzers are energy-efficient and offer excellent value, making them a popular choice for customers seeking reliable and cost-effective audible warning solutions.
Applications of Audio Beacons
Accessibility for the Visually Impaired
Audio beacons help people with vision loss move around more easily. They give sound-based directions or messages to help locate things like entrances, elevators, or specific rooms inside buildings or public places.
Indoor Navigation
Beacons can be used to map out complex indoor spaces—like airports, hospitals, or museums—so visitors can find their way more easily using sound or phone guidance.
Location-Based Marketing
Stores and businesses can use audio beacons to send personalized messages, discounts, or advertisements to customers when they are nearby. This can improve the shopping experience.
Asset Tracking
Beacons can be placed on important tools or equipment. This helps track where items are and when they move, which is useful in factories, warehouses, or hospitals.
Museum and Exhibit Guides
In museums or galleries, beacons can automatically play audio guides or extra information about an exhibit when a visitor gets close to it.
Safety and Emergency Alerts
Beacons can be used to warn people about dangers or emergencies—for example, by giving sound alerts in case of fire or hazardous situations.
Smart City Services
In smart cities, audio beacons can be used to give citizens helpful local information, like transit updates, directions, or safety messages, making urban life more connected and accessible.
