Forklift Data Collected is Different than the Forklift Data Plate

Anytime the words forklift data is used, the forklift data plate is what comes up on the Internet or in a conversation. As technology is becoming more mainstay on forklifts, the words forklift data is taking on new meanings. Instead of thinking name plates, more EHS and management are thinking about passes, failures, and impacts to name a few. We’ll explore how forklift data is changing the way we look at forklift safety and the insights it provides.

What is Forklift Data?

Forklift data is the collection of information from the settings set forth in the forklift safety system. The forklift data captured and stored allows for analysis of a pattern of similar situations that can be across worksites, operators, forklift types, or it can be focused on a particular forklift, operator or both due to an incident. These examples allow management to better understand what occurred so decisions can be made to deter the same or similar situation from occurring again.

Forklift Data…Plate

When you look up the words for lift data today, you’ll find that the most popular answer will be the forklift data plate. The plate provides static information about the forklift itself such as the weight, fuel type, and forklift load capacity. This is critical information that management and the driver needs to know for maximum operation, but this information about the forklift will never change over time.

Forklift Data…Captured

In a forklift safety system by SIERA.AI, forklift data is collected through the camera or scanner, interpreted by the software, and collected and reported in the web-based telemetry Dashboard. Here, the data is categorized for easy viewing and fast decision making.

• Forklift Inspection Passes and Fails – Here you will be able to know immediately how many forklifts passed inspection and how many failed. Want to know more information on the fails? Click on fails and begin to click on the forklift data to drill down.
• Impact! Low, medium and high impacts are recorded as soon as the impact occurs. The system reads the G force of the impact, and based on your settings will record it as a low, medium and high impact. If you set an impact to 4G’s remember that its 4 x 22MPH or 88MPH when the impact occurs.
• Immediate Notification – You need to know when an impact or forklift failure occurs. A real-time notification is sent to you and any others who need to be aware when a critical incident happens in real-time. Now you and your team can take action so downtime is minimized and efficiencies stay high.
• Near Miss Detection – If you want to know how many near miss or almost an accident occurs, this is a great feature to have. It is the precursor to an accident. It begins to formulate patterns for where the ‘hot spots’ can occur. If you eliminate the issue that’s within these areas, then you will automatically reduce the amount of potential impacts in that space, and accidents.

Unauthorized Access

We all know what that means when someone tries to drive a forklift that hasn’t been trained. This is good fun for them, and very unaware of the dangers. The telemetry Dashboard will collect the forklift data as well as prohibit anyone from using a forklift without authorization. You can find out with the forklift data collected which worksite, asset type, asset name, and when it actually occurred. Use the camera system, and now it will show you ‘who’ the person was that attempted to ride or use the forklift without authorization.
