Safety professionals will attend trade shows, read articles and include themselves on lists to keep updated. There are a few ways motivating the safety professional with forklift safety can be of help.
Telemetry Dashboard
The telemetry Dashboard is where all of the data is collected from the forklift safety system. Here is where the safety professional can analyze the data and understand what is going on within the facility. These can include hot spots, near miss locations, impacts, pedestrians that come within the pre-defined distance of the forklift, objects that come within the pre-defined distance of the forklift to name a few. This data will help safety professionals better understand the behaviors of the forklift operators as well as workers and what actions do they need to take in order to make corrections to reduce impacts, near misses or even incidents. This type of data, which is not existent today, can be very motivating for the safety professional with forklift safety. This data is what proves the ROI or return on investment to management so they clearly understand the value technology brings to their bottom line.
Forklift Safety System
The forklift safety system is the actual mechanism that is installed on the forklift in order to constantly monitor for potential incidents. As there are a few different technological offerings such as RFID, SIERA.AI has developed an AI based forklift safety system as it provides the greatest amount of safety for the operator and the worker. The AI based system has an intelligent camera that constantly scans every 60ms searching separately for a person or an object. The system provides an audio and visual warning to the operator so they can take corrective action prior to an incident occurring.
This type of technology is can be very motivating to the safety professional as it provides greater oversight and savings for insurance, damages, worker’s compensation and more.
