An AI based forklift safety system can reduce or even eliminate product damage caused by the forklift. A SIERA AI forklift safety system can identify a person from an object. So, as it scans every 60ms it is scanning the amount of feet. Meaning, if you set it to scan 10 feet, 14 feet all the way up to 33 feet, it is going to notify your operator that an object (or person) has now entered the space. Now the operator can take action and divert the forklift to a safer place. Every time that you can warn the driver and ensure that it is aware of the object, you just saved your company money.
Pedestrian Costs
A line item that we are all too familiar with is the worker’s compensation and temporary workers budget line item. These are due to workers both on and off the lift truck that get hurt.
