What Benefits Can Be Derived from Lift Truck Technology in Your Facility
Over the past several years, lift truck technology has been building up speed with an increased emphasis on forklift automation. This development is not only aimed at enhancing safety measures but also at boosting efficiencies and productivity. For industrial professionals working in manufacturing, warehousing, distribution centers and others reliant on forklift operations, adopting these cutting-edge advancements such as AI machine learning, might prove pivotal in increasing profit margins and minimizing forklift accidents. Lift truck technology is proving itself with possibilities, giving promising results that can change and even revolutionize the forklift safety industry.
What are Some Benefits of Lift Truck Technology?
- Improve productivity and efficiency by collecting data for better decision making
- Reduce forklift accidents that can decrease the risk of human error
- Reduce insurance and worker’s compensation claims and future costs
- Reduce damages to the equipment, facility and other forklifts
Lift Truck Technology Innovations
Over the past few years, lift truck technology has evolved improving safety for the operator, workers and the infrastructure of the facility. Let’s take a look at a few:
AI Sensors or AI Cameras
One lift truck technology that has made its way to facilities is the AI sensor or the AI camera. The AI sensor or AI camera alerts the forklift operator when there is an obstruction in the driver’s path. SIERA.AI forklift safety system includes the AI camera and AI sensor that warns the driver when a person or object is within the pre-defined distance. The warnings are separate, meaning that when it is a person within the path, a symbol of a human is flashing at the driver. If it is an object, then a symbol of a box flashes.
The AI lift truck technology continues to learn the facility’s intricacies and continues to get better with time. Even if changes occur within the facility, it learns it quickly and adapts to any changes.
Impact Detection
Sometimes, impact detection is all you need, or all you need to start with. Although it is not warning the operator like AI sensors or AI cameras, but it is monitoring, tracking and reporting on any potential or low, medium or high impacts. With the use of SIERA.AI’s S2 forklift safety system, this lift truck technology allows you to understand the level of impact, where the impact is occurring with GPS and evidence of ‘who’ was operating the forklift at the time of impact.
Telematics Calculate the Results
One of the benefits of telematics is the capturing and housing of the data. However, telematics is a detailed science. Although everyone likes a lot of data, you can’t justify or even afford a full-time person to just work in the software to pull out the critical information you want. In SIERA.AI’s telemetry Dashboard, we listened to our customers and graphically display the most important data right on your Dashboard so you can make quick decisions for the most impact. Here, you can quickly get the answers you want about workers, assets, impacts, detections and more with drop down menu’s to dive further into the details.
