Collect Real-Time Forklift Data and View the Results in a Telemetry Dashboard

Analyzing data from a forklift telemetry report allows you to know information about your forklift, the driver and the activity surrounding the truck. Telemetry can be purchased as a stand-alone solution, but really has more meaning when tied to the front-end solution like an OSHA compliant and impact detection solution or a pedestrian detection solution. How can you generate a forklift telemetry report and make it useful for your business and facility? There are many ways. Let’s take a look.

What is a Forklift Telemetry Report?

A forklift telemetry report is the result of data collected in real-time from a forklift that is in use. The forklift begins to capture data after the forklift driver scans his badge or enters a PIN number. The data being collected can be used to analyze the activities  of the forklift truck so actionable decisions can be made to improve forklift safety.

OSHA Compliance

By combining a front-end system like the S2 Digital Inspection, data collection begins immediately. The worker cannot start his day until the forklift has gone through the questions for forklift safety inspection. As the driver answers the questions, the answers go immediately, or real-time, into the online forklift telemetry Dashboard. Now it can be viewed on a Dashboard for fast analysis and decision making.

After the forklift begins its day, the S2 starts another task. Collecting data on the operators near misses, low, medium and high impacts. This isn’t to be a tattle tale, it’s to help identify the areas within the facility where these issues are occurring and fix them when/if possible. Secondarily, if it is identified that the driver needs training, now you can focus on certain issues and not areas where the driver excels.

Who has time to dig through a mountain of data? That’s what we hear all the time. Most often it’s because companies find it to be too complex, too hard to get to the answer and can spend hours with little insights. So how about a Dashboard?

A Dashboard is a fast and easy way to report the critical data you need to make a decision. What can be included? SIERA.AI’s telemetry Dashboard focuses on these areas:

• Pass / Failed Inspections
• Near Miss on Objects
• Near Miss on Pedestrians
• Low Impacts
• Medium Impacts
• High Impacts

The beauty of all of these data collections is that you can create a report at any time. If management or an OSHA inspector comes in, you can create a report in less than 30 seconds. All you need to do is put the date range in, what data you want to collect and print to a PDF or a hard copy. Up to the person receiving the master forklift telemetry report.

Summary

By combining a front-end forklift safety system like the S2 digital inspection with impact detection, you’ll be able to collect real-time data, view recent to custom time periods on a Dashboard and create a forklift telemetry report that gives you insights into your forklift, driver and the facility itself. Now you have the information that’s most important to you so you can make actionable decisions that affect damage and profits. Contact us to view the telemetry Dashboard at sales@siera.ai.
