Keeping indoor spaces comfortable is becoming more expensive by the day. By blocking 97% of radiant heat, RB Shielding creates an impenetrable thermal barrier that cuts energy consumption and utility bills by up to 30%-50%, according to the DOE.
The savings extend far beyond your monthly power bill. By stopping heat at the source, RB Shielding reduces HVAC workloads and run times.
Electronic components within data centers, including power distribution systems, servers, cooling systems, and networking equipment, generate non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (EMFs) as a part of normal operation.
Large Data Centers also require extensive electrical infrastructure build-outs, including high-capacity substations, transformers, switchgear, and transmission corridors.
Exposure to EMFs raises health concerns.
Excessive heat in unconditioned warehouses drops worker productivity by up to 18% at 85°F and sharply increases error rates and safety risks.
The Impact of Heat on Productivity
Studies show 80°F is the critical threshold where cognitive and physical performance begins to decline rapidly. Productivity drops roughly 2% to 3% for every degree the temperature climbs above 80°F.
At 85°F, productivity drops by 18% while error rates spike by 40%; at 90°F, errors can skyrocket by up to 300%. Indoor warehouse heat traps humidity and lacks natural wind relief, accelerating dehydration and physical fatigue.
An RFID inventory management system uses radio waves from tags and readers to track stock automatically. Unlike barcodes, it does not need a clear line of sight. You can scan many items at the same time from a distance, which makes audits fast and cuts down on human errors.
RFID Tags are microchips with small antennas. They stick to products, boxes, or pallets to hold item data. RFID Readers are devices that send out radio waves to catch signals from nearby tags. Readers can be handheld mobile units or fixed units at doors and checkpoints.
RB Shielding contains RFID signals to the show room floor from storage in the backrooms.
Radio frequency (RF) and radio frequency identification (RFID) concepts intersect with unmanned aerial systems in surveillance and counter-surveillance operations, where RF/GNSS signal disruption is used to neutralize unauthorized drones.
Surveillance systems use RF sensors and direction finders to detect the control links (such as Wi-Fi or proprietary frequencies) between a drone and its operator.
Advanced Inventory Management Systems utilize RFID scanners to harvest merchandise data on show room floors. RB Shielding contains RFID scans from penetrating walls and doors in storage areas. RB Shielding minimizes drone surveillance intrusions.
Electromagnetic waves (EMWs) or fields (EMFs)—emitted by power lines, cell phones, and Wi-Fi—are forms of low-level, non-ionizing radiation. Major health organizations like the World Health Organization state that everyday exposure levels are far below safety limits, though research into long-term cumulative effects remains ongoing.
Types of exposure include Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) wavelengths generated by power lines, household wiring, and electrical appliances and Radio Frequencies (RF) emitted by wireless technology, cell phones, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi routers.
Potential Health Concerns include carcinogenicity risks. The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies both ELF and RF fields as Group 2B ("possibly carcinogenic to humans") due to limited statistical links.
Some experimental studies suggest non-thermal effects may increase reactive oxygen species or oxidative stress. Anecdotal associations include sleep disruption, fatigue, and headaches, though direct causal links are unproven.
