Top 3 Reasons Why a Forklift Safety System is a Smart Investment for Food and Beverage Companies
Food and beverage companies have small margins of profit. It’s a tough industry to be in and investments need to be smart and provide a return. Pressures to be on time while maximize its profits by producing no mistakes is the only way food and beverage companies can live to another year. Reducing damages of the product and to the facility is key to keeping costs in check. That’s why a forklift safety system is a smart investment for food and beverage companies. Let’s explore how.
Reason #1: Carrying Fragile Goods
Many food companies are moving live animals, sensitive vegetables and delicate fruits around the facility and out for delivery. Since these goods are fragile, getting any type of damage can be costly to the food and beverage company. This is our first reason for getting an AI forklift safety system. An AI forklift safety system ensures the lift truck driver will not hit anything. The pedestrian and object detection system will notify the driver when they get too close to objects. You get to decide what that safety distance is before the warning sound and flashing symbol begins.
Reason #2: Access Denied and Controlled for Critical Lift Trucks
There are mobile specialty equipment to move these delicate foods and beverages and you just don’t want anyone to get on your expensive, fragile equipment. That’s where our forklift access control comes in. We ensure that this is a part of every forklift safety system you purchase from SIERA AI. Forklift access control ensures that only those that are authorized to be on your equipment gets access. Otherwise, the lift truck will not start. And, you don’t want it to. The forklift access control feature will also manage the certification of the forklift driver’s ad if it expires, it won’t start for them either! That’s why an AI forklift safety system is a smart investment for food and beverage companies.
Reason #3: Sensitive Areas within the Facility
You want to reduce any hazardous areas within the facility to keep the potential for impacts as low as possible. The best way to accomplish this task is with our Dashboard. Above, you just read about near misses. We track this for you so you know how many near misses are people and objects. Let’s say your analysis revealed that you have too many near misses with objects going on. This can be an expensive problem if and when an impact occurs. You can then turn to the reporting system to find out more.
Throught he combination of the GPS report and heat map, you can quickly see where the red ‘hot spots’ are at within the facility. Now you have the evidence you need to further investigate that area. Once you go to the area, you can make the necessary adjustments and begin tracking in real-time the results. If you are not getting the desired result, then make further adjustments until you get the results you are looking for.
