Complex Sensor Data Meets the Physical Facility
Industrial facilities have expanded its reach of utilizing complex sensor data, that is streaming constantly from the newer technologies such as AI based forklift safety system, various wearables, mobile devices, industrial equipment, and more. With these vast inputs of data, it’s impossible for facility managers and safety managers to fully comprehend or derive meaningful insights. However, advancements in technology—particularly in AI offer the tools necessary to scan, collect and interpret the data.
What is Complex Sensor Data on a Forklift
Sensor data is created when devices detect physical changes in the environment and convert them into digital signals. On the SIERA.AI AI based forklift safety system, those digital signals are converted to audio and visual warnings and also converted into data and added to the telemetry Dashboard for record keeping.
The data in the telemetry Dashboard is utilized to uncover patterns, predicting potential hazards within the facility, and enabling informed decision-making.
The IoT
The Internet of Things (IoT) is basically driven by sensor data. Devices such as our AI based forklift safety system is equipped with sensors that continuously measure variables like motion of people or the static of an object. The forklift safety system scans every 60ms to a predefined distance constantly searching for a person or an object. This is how the system protects the driver, facility and those that are working or walking around the forklift.
Once the data is collected, the complex sensor data is transmitted, stored, and analyzed in our telemetry Dashboard. Data transmission often relies on wireless networks or wired connections, with protocols designed to ensure security. The SIERA.AI forklift safety system can utilize both WIFI as well as cellular connection to transmit the data. If a portion of the facility does not have WIFI or cellular, the AI forklift safety system continues to collect the data and as soon as it enters WIFI or cellular, it immediately transmits the data for real-time or retrospective analysis.
Predictive Safety
Take the example of predictive safety in manufacturing, warehousing, and/or distribution centers. As the complex sensor data is collected and stored, you are now ready to conduct some predictive safety. One way to determine predictive safety is with our ‘hot spot’ reports. This gives you real-time results of where the incidents are occurring. This includes near misses, which are crucial for maturing accident areas. Safety professionals have never had the opportunity to understand ‘where’ they are occurring. When you do, you can take corrective action to bring down the incident or near miss counts. What would that mean to your safety record?
Complex Sensor Data Meets the Physical World
The true value of complex sensor data lies in its ability to bridge the physical and digital worlds. It transforms the incidents and accidents of the real-world into structured, actionable insights. Facilities that effectively capture complex sensor data will gain a competitive edge, realizing new efficiencies and driving the ultimate in safety. In this data-rich forklift safety system, understanding how to collect, process, and apply complex sensor data.
