Is It Just Another Product to Buy to Prevent Forklift Damage?
New products come on the market all the time to protect the racking system. That’s because items on the racking system fall off or the forklift creates bumps and dents that can cause serious harm to the racking system diminishing their effectiveness. This product is a steel mesh guard that covers the rack. Is it just another product to buy to prevent forklift damage? It certainly isn’t easier for those who need to do the picking or putting away goods. Do more products need to be purchased for protection or can a forklift safety system help more?
Current Products on the Market
Do you remember as a kid when you had your bike? Did you put reflectors on, those toys that go in the spokes to make the noise, the bell and a host of other stuff that made the bike cool around the neighborhood. That’s what we’ve been doing to our forklifts. You got the blue light flashing, horns going off, mirrors and a ton more stuff. When you take a moment to add up all of the gadgets on the forklift alone, that’s a pretty good sum of money.
There’s Only One Product to Buy to Protect… It All
You’ve had to take measures to protect the forklift, workers, products and the facility itself. It was an investment that needed to be done. However, for the past few years, there has been a solution on the market that can protect it all – the AI forklift safety system. How can it protect it all? Let’s take a closer look.
Pedestrian and Object Detection
Pedestrian and object detection, even though mentioned together are monitoring and reporting on two separate things. The AI intelligence in the AI forklift safety system can tell the difference between a human being and an object. Even if the person is bent over, on all fours, or just a little piece of the human body is showing, will warn the forklift operator that a person is within the pre-defined safety distance from the forklift. With the audio and visual warnings, the forklift operator is to get out of harms way so not to injure the person.
The same can be said for object detection. As the forklift moves about the facility, it detects objects, including racking systems. If the forklift gets too close, a warning is given to the operator to take action so to avoid hitting the object. The forklift safety system gives a symbol of an object or of a person to indicate what is within the warning zone.
Do You Need a Net, Steel Corners and Other Safety Gear?
You can to add a layer of additional protection, however, it isn’t necessary as the forklift safety system will always tell you. I addition, it will also give you near misses. These are the ‘almost an accident’. What can you learn? It will track how many near misses for pedestrians and near misses for objects. Now you have critical data to tell you what you need protection on before it turns into an accident. Use our telemetry Dashboard to conduct analysis so you know where the near misses are occurring so you can take proactive action and keep the areas safe.
