Digitally Recordable Forklift Incidents with a Forklift Safety System
Digitally recordable forklift incidents with a forklift safety system sets the direction for corrective action. This new AI based approach has contributed to a reduction in overall forklift incident rates, as reported by SIERA AI customers, forklift accidents, which include damages, injuries and fatalities, continues to plague the industrial industry as a whole. What this says is that the adoption of an AI based forklift safety system is still lagging with many facilities.
What are Digitally Recordable Forklift Incidents with a Forklift Safety System?
Let’s break down each part of the phrase, digitally recordable forklift incidents with a forklift safety system. There are different ways that forklift incidents can be digitally recorded. You can buy a basic device from the Internet, and it will do a single thing and give you a single answer. That’s not solving your problem. Then there’s RFID, which can record digitally as well, but most times the system is used only in busy areas of the facility. That’s not going to help or tell you where the incidents are really happening. Then there’s the more sophisticated AI based forklift safety system like SIERA AI which has already learned for 10 years what incidents are, monitor, track and properly report what type of incident it is.
Type of Incidents in a SIERA AI Telemetry Dashboard
If you want to know how to reduce incidents, you need to first understand the ‘buckets’ the data goes into.
Bucket 1: Near Misses Pedestrians
Bucket 2: Near Misses Objects
Bucket 3: Pedestrian Detection
Bucket 4: Object Detection
Bucket 5: Low Impact
Bucket 6: Medium Impact
Bucket 7: High Impact
The AI based forklift safety system is constantly collecting data individually from each forklift. During the course of its experiences, it is logging the numbers and other data into these buckets. Go ahead and place a bunch of random numbers into these buckets. Let’s say that you do, and you find that you have a high number of near misses for pedestrians.
What Do You Want to Know Next?
Of course, you want to know where and why is it occurring. Perfect. This is where AI and the special reports come in. Now you can find out with the combination of GPS and a heat map come in. This allows you to know where the high number of pedestrian detections are occurring. As a safety professional, you’ll want to visit the site and begin to determine why the number is so high. What changes do you need to make? Was it obvious or not? Once you make the change, now you can in real-time watch if/when the numbers go down. If they do, you’ve solved the problem, if not, what additional change do you need to make. Determining the root cause of the near miss allows the safety professional to be proactive in other areas in order to prevent future occurrences.
Be sure to take time to view our telemetry Dashboard. Because viewing and understanding the value of digitally recordable forklift incidents with a forklift safety system will allow you to gain control of safety, reduce damages, reduce incidents and give workers the confidence they need to get their job done.
