Randomize Forklift Daily Inspection Questions to Gain Accuracy in Data Collection

Are you performing a forklift daily inspection? Okay, let me rephrase that. Would you like to conduct a forklift daily inspection with accuracy? It seems impossible. The practice of pencil whipping has been going on for ages and how can it stop now? Just because technology has moved the pencil and paper to digital doesn’t necessarily mean that the forklift daily inspection is going to get done with a higher level of accuracy. So what can digitization do for the forklift daily inspection besides just making it digital?

What is a Forklift Daily Inspection?

You all know what a forklift daily inspection is all about. You all know what a digital forklift daily inspection is as well. However, do you know that you can control the type of answers you get with a forklift daily inspection and add impact detection? That’s a lot of power in one place. Let’s discuss further what how digital forklift inspections can be more useful today than ever before.

What’s the Difference?

A digital forklift daily inspection is a great way of capturing the critical information maintenance needs in order to analyze the data and decide when maintenance needs to be made on the forklift. But only if the content is accurate. But is it? Are the forklift operators just practicing the same quickly answer the questions just the get it done? Probably.

So instead, SIERA.AI does something a bit different. In the telemetry Dashboard, you have the option of turning on ‘random’. That means that for each section of the forklift daily inspection you can randomize the questions. Be sure that the first question isn’t always first and so on. Instead, it mixes up the questions that ‘encourages’ the forklift operators to read. If they don’t read the question, then the risk of answering incorrectly goes up. When that happens the forklift daily inspection will be failed. If that happens, they will not be able to move forward and start the machine. The better the answers, the better maintenance professionals can schedule and make the most of the forklift ensuring maximum potential.

What Else Do You Get?

How about impact detection. Know what the forklift is experiencing during the course of its shift. Are they making any fast stops? Is the forklift making any hard hits or soft hits? These hits or impacts are important for you to know when, who and where the hits are occurring. All of this information, just like the forklift daily inspection is all being collected, tracked and analyzed in the telemetry Dashboard. What  can you do with this information?

What can you do with this information?

• Analyze and make decisions based on where the impacts are occurring
• Know exactly how many impacts are occuring and understand te reasons ‘why’
• Get better and more accurate answers so maintenance can conduct better planning
• Improve safety in the facility where impacts are happening the most
