The Meaning of Implementing Forklift Checklist Statistics

Forklift checklist statistics can provide valuable insights into the health of each of your forklifts. However, the manual process can take hours to calculate and may produce inaccurate results if the data was not recorded or transferred accurately. The best way to calculate forklift checklist statistics is to capture it electronically.

What is a Forklift Checklist Statistic?

A forklift checklist statistic is derived from collecting varied data gathered from a list of questions that provide ongoing answers in order to gain an understanding if something is increasing, decreasing or remaining the same. The statistic can be captured and analyzed by each question, a set of questions or all of the questions collectively over a defined period of time.

How Does a Forklift Checklist Work?

Today, the most frequently used way to collect data for a forklift checklist statistic is manually. This is when a forklift driver fills in the answers on a piece of paper or in a booklet. This information is the reviewed by the safety manager (primarily) and decisions are made based on his review. However, this method is slowly changing.

Digital Transformation

Over the past couple of years, CEO’s have directed their organization to transform what they have on paper to digital solutions. This has been known as digital transformation. Digital transformation has reached all the way down to the forklift in a facility. By utilizing an AI based software forklift safety solution, information can be captured and calculated in order for the safety manager to quickly know the forklift checklist statistics as well as other information such as impact detection and near misses. This calculation will provide insights into the habits and behaviors of the drivers as well as identifying the ‘hot spots’ or high-risk areas that you may not have known existed.

This is where SIERA.AI’s S2 Digital Checklist with Impact Detection comes in. There needs to be two parts to the solution. The first part is the touchscreen. This is installed directly on each of the forklift trucks. When accessed with a badge or PIN number, the first question on the checklist comes up. Once you answer the standard OSHA compliant questions, there’s an opportunity to ask additional questions that you’ve inserted. As each of these questions are answered, the data is captured in the online telemetry Dashboard.

Telemetry Dashboard

The second part of the forklift safety solution is where the information is stored. The telemetry Dashboard is where the forklift checklist statistics reside. You will automatically get the information you are searching for such as:

Forklift failures

• Which asset failed the most or least
• Which worksite has the most or least failures
• Who reported to most or least failures

Then you can also analyze information such as:

• How many total impacts
• How many low, medium and high impacts
• Who was driving during each of the impacts

Now you can begin to calculate your statistics for any of these (or more) for a defined period of time such as a day, YOY, MOM, QOQ etc. Now you have real information on the safety improvements based on the reports. You can develop a business report that states the problem, statistic to back it up, what solution you’ve implemented and statistic as a result.

This is why…
