Simplifying Forklift Telematics to Get the Answers You Want

Forklift telematics has numerous benefits as it provides valuable insights into a facility. However, some have shared  that forklift telematics can be cumbersome to use, needing a full time person to navigate. Some have also shared that they are only interested in the pedestrian detection part of the solution, and not very interested in the data collection. As these concerns are frequently shared, it’s important to know that not every forklift safety system is the same, and getting what you want…when you want it…and how you want it can be achieved. Let’s take a closer look at forklift telematics.

What is Forklift Telematics?

Forklift telematics allows your forklift to communicate with you. It can tell you in-depth amounts of details, or it can tell you key, pertinent data that you need to know…now. The forklift telematics captures the data from the forklift and tracks it in the software system for further analysis. Decisions are usually made from the data captured.

Just Tell Me What I Need to Know

Some forklift telematics can be detailed, software products. They can take up lots of time and energy just to figure out where the data is located. Many can get frustrated with the time spent often times requiring a full-time person to extract the information.

Depending on the forklift safety system you purchase, the forklift telematics will be different. For SIERA.AI, our forklift telematics Dashboard fits many companies well. Here’s why:

• Information is presented in a graphical based manner
• The forklift telematics tracks what they need to know in an easy to navigate manner
• You’re never more than 2 clicks away from getting your answers

Drill Down to Some Details

As the SIERA.AI forklift telematics captures data in real-time, you can watch it anytime of the day or night to understand what the fleet to an individual forklift is performing. You can know if you’ve had any forklifts fail an inspection and know why quickly. You can find out how many near misses accumulated over a period of time. Near misses are great to know as it is your first glimpse into where an accident can be brewing. Wouldn’t it be great to know this and adjust the area accordingly so an accident is prevented before it matures? We think so.

Other areas you can track is for low, medium and high impacts. With real-time tracking, you’ll have insights into the various impacts and quickly get the next level of detail so you can make adjustments quickly and begin to reap those benefits.

Just the Pedestrian Detection Please

Some say they just want the forklift safety system to just stop pedestrians from being around the forklift. And we agree! But maybe keeping track of it can also bring some insights. What if it’s a particular area that’s to blame? Or what if it’s a particular person? Knowing this information can help you to determine if training for pedestrians and/or the forklift operator is necessary. Or maybe it’s simply adjusting the area by an inch or two. Wouldn’t that be worth it?

Going digital can supply you with pertinent data that can help you make fast decisions about your facility, forklift, operator or the pedestrian traffic. Let us help you explore the easy to use forklift telematics offered by SIERA.AI. Contact us today at sales@siera.ai or call us at (512) 817 0702.
