How Data Captured in a Checklist and a Pedestrian Detection System Ties into a Forklift Telemetry Dashboard
We hear frequent comments how a forklift telemetry dashboard is simply too much. Too much time spent on it, too much work to try to get the information out…simply too much of everything. However, having a front-end system like a forklift checklist and a pedestrian detection system that’s working to collect vital data be effective and instrumental without a Dashboard to present the data? Ah, maybe that’s it. The presentation…what you need right on a Dashboard. Interesting…let’s explore.
What is a Forklift Telemetry Dashboard?
A forklift telemetry dashboard presents information in a graphical, easy-to-ready way for the information can be applied for critical decision making. One such front-end and telemetry Dashboard is the SIERA.AI forklift safety system. The data that is captured on the facility floor and is transferred in real-time to the forklift telemetry Dashboard and presented in a way that the data can be viewed in seconds and action can be taken to correct a situation.
Why is a Telemetry Dashboard Important?
Being able to collect data electronically has never been possible until the use of technology. The only way some sort of information was viewed was through the paper-based OSHA compliant forklift checklists. However, facility managers were (or are) collecting paper or booklets in buckets or stacked on desks with the hope that the forklift operators took the time and filled out the form for a pre-shift inspection. Whatever was collected, the managers need to sit there and go through each piece of paper and calculate and manage in their head the status of the lift trucks. So many risks involved, how can a company manage the very costly fleet of lift trucks? What kind of risks?
• What if the manager leaves the job…so does the information?
• What if the manager mixes up the lift truck, is the right one being tended to?
• If the lift truck breaks down, aren’t you too late?
• If the lift truck has a long downtime, could it have been avoided?
Benefits of a Dashboard
With a telemetry Dashboard, these tasks are eliminated and accuracy is mandated. How? With the use of technology such as the S2 Digital Inspection with Impact Detection. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits received during the process:
• The forklift and the driver remain still unless the electronic forklift inspection is complete
• To obtain accuracy in the answers, management has the option of randomizing the order of the questions AND the answers
• The forklift safety system tracks near misses allowing you to know what and where its occurring so you managers can take corrective action in the area if it’s a repeat location
• The forklift safety system tracks low, medium and high impacts so you can take a look in real-time before the area becomes tainted
• Managers will get real-time notifications of whatever it is you want to be notified for…so you can take immediate action and be in control of the situation
