Forklift Impact Tracking: The Data and Their Application
There is little written about forklift impact tracking. There’s plenty out there on forklift impacts, or the forklift sensors, but nothing on forklift impact tracking. It’s great to have the hardware to monitor, but what about the actual capturing of data and what it can mean and accomplish for your manufacturing plant or warehouse facility? Let’s discuss the application of the data. This will help you get started, as many of our customers have some amazing ideas and ways, they have been able to utilize the data and apply it to their facility. Let’s start by talking a bit about forklift impact tracking.
What is Forklift Impact Tracking?
Forklift impact tracking is the ability for smart technologies to capture the sensitivities of various level or G-Force, or impacts, and intelligently categorize the forklift impacts so the data can be analyzed and applied to solve real-life problems.
Forklift Impacts with G-Force Settings
To be able to understand what needs to be tracked and how you want to receive the information, first define the G-Force. G-Force is the force of the impact whether it be equipment to equipment, or equipment to facility (such as racking). The level of G-Force impact can define the level of damage received.
For SIERA.AI’s telemetry Dashboard, you are able to set the G-Force for your own facility. Based on the G-Force that will define your low, medium and high forklift impact tracking. In the Dashboard, you can set and change at any time, what your definition of G-Force is based for low, medium and high. If/when an impact occurs, the system will immediately identify the impact, send out a notification, and track the impact. This all occurs simultaneously within less than a second.
Forklift Impact Tracking Shown
You have the forklift impacts set. You know what force will be low, medium and high. Now it’s time to put it to work and do some forklift impact tracking. As the forklift goes about its day, the forklift safety system is automatically capturing and categorizing the impacts. The information is, in real-time, reporting the information onto the telemetry Dashboard.
Resembling a stock ticker tape, key data scrolls across the screen including the total of the low, medium and high impacts. But also scrolling are the number of pass forklift inspections and failed forklift inspections. Again, key information.
You can click on the low, medium and high to go in more depth what that means. For instance, customize the dates, find out which forklift(s) are having the most impacts, who’s driving etc.
In addition, if a driver comes to you and says, “It wasn’t me!” The forklift safety system (if you turn the toggle to on) have the camera take a picture of who was driving during the time of impact. There’s no disputing the picture with a date and time stamp.
