The human mind is wired to compartmentalize and label people, situations and even companies and businesses. This simplistic psychological function helps us categorize and create ‘slots’ to place them in. Many companies actually use this to their advantage and the ‘branding’ gets so ingrained that people often mistake the brand for the product itself. Cadbury’s as in Chocolates, Nike as in shoes, or Bata, if you will in the good old days.
Fortunately, or unfortunately Prolite, has over 30 plus years, gained the reputation as a market leader and service provider in ‘safe escape’ or ‘exigency’ solutions. This branding has been very good for us but a little unfair too because we are not ONLY into safe escape but we provide a much larger umbrella of products and solutions than this branding suggests.
Lights and signs have been an essential feature of human lifestyles since man evolved. Worshipping the sun for providing light and sustenance and the discovery of fire as a light source are all part of evolution. Even today, the digitalization of lifestyle, is you wish to call it that, involves both lights and signs. The light in your mobile allows you to read the signs in your Whatsapp or Instagram or message box. So, without lights and signs, nothing is even possible.
Prolite is firstly an educator and information storehouse that trains and teaches people to understand and evaluate threats that can be caused by disasters such as fire situations, blackouts and the like. People can only use safe escape resources in the critical moments if they have basic knowledge of first response protocols, usage of fire extinguishers, reading the signs accurately and doing what is most needed in priority. That is what Prolite and its team does in public forums and lec-dems on various platforms. Secondly, with the passage of time, rules and regulations too change and Prolite manufactures products of high-quality conforming to the most recent requirements as per those recommendations. Our R&D is constantly innovating to be ahead at all times and that is the reason for our awesome growth today.
When the power fails, you may not necessarily be in a life-threatening scenario, yet the relief to be able to see in that situation itself is a service you may well appreciate. Way finding signs, signs that provide information about products in place and their utility, lighting in corridors that are naturally poorly lit otherwise, are all highly important solutions not necessarily connected to safe exigency per sec. Prolite Autoglo is an institution, a movement if you will, for people to be aware, alert and informed about safety in any given surroundings. It’s an essential service that goes way beyond what our ‘branding’ suggests.
Emergency lights in trains are mandatory as well
India’s rail network is in expansion mode. But notwithstanding the euphoria of upgradation with Vande Bharat adding on, we suffered a setback and witnessed one of the ghastliest train accidents in decades which left 288 passengers dead and over 900 injured in Odisha.
Rail safety was back in discussion but there is a strong possibility that the accident was a case of sabotage and is under investigation. But just as we ensure safety by installing emergency lights, fire extinguishers, sprinklers and photoluminescent signages in homes, shops, malls, hospitals, business institutions and all kinds of enclosed spaces, even trains are equipped with emergency lights mandatorily today.
The government has planned to run 75 Vande Bharat trains by August 2023. To complete PM Narendra Modi’s vision, the government is committed to re-developed railway stations too. Currently, only two Vande Bharat Expresses are operational in India from New Delhi to Varanasi and New Delhi to Katra.
During extreme emergencies such as derailment, collisions, or other the power is likely to fail and put the interiors in pitch darkness in the critical moments. Emergency Light Units then come on to facilitate immediate rescue during such emergencies. It is vital to provide illumination during failure of all other power supplies inside the coach. Vande Bharat trains will also have four emergency lights in every coach in case of electric failure.
