3 Top Benefits of an OEM Neutral Forklift Safety System
An OEM neutral forklift safety system means that the SIERA.AI safety system is engaging each forklift manufacturer fairly and without bias. This includes the hardware, software and the data collected. The value it brings to the customer is simple: If you have a single OEM or multiple forklift brands in your facility or facilities, the SIERA.AI safety system will deliver consistent results. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits received by using an OEM neutral forklift safety system.
Benefit #1: Speed of Safety
When a company decides that it needs a forklift safety solution whether it be for OSHA compliance, pedestrian safety or both, they need it now. Most often it is due to an injury, fatality or a close enough call that the manufacturer, warehouse or distribution center want to take action immediately.
By choosing an OEM neutral forklift safety system, you can implement a forklift safety solution immediately as the system is readily in stock. Depending on the OEM, you may only be receiving the telemetry system. Sometimes you may get a safety system that comes with a new purchase…which takes many months for delivery once the order is placed. Or, it may be too expensive to turn on.
If ‘now’ is important, and ensuring you get the front end of the forklift safety system as well as the telemetry Dashboard backend, then an OEM neutral forklift safety system is the way to go. The SIERA.AI S3 Pedestrian Detection System has both the OSHA compliance, pedestrian detection and telemetry Dashboard in one single solution.
Benefit #2: Single Solution in a Single or Multiple Facilities
Safety managers and plant managers need to care for multiple hardware and software solutions in their facility. Adding two or more forklift safety solutions for their forklifts will be frustrating. Sometimes two systems are needed. Either one for the front and back, or more than one brand system. A single system will capture the impacts, digital checklist answers and track near misses the same and report it to a single location where the data can be analyzed and patterns can be identified by each location or across multiple locations.
As you noticed, near misses were included. Features can be different from one system to the next. SIERA.AI’s forklift safety system is the only solution on the market today tracking near misses. You can be missing valuable safety insights by not having this feature or implementing it across all of the facilities. You’ll need to decide if identifying areas within the facility that have a high propensity for an accident is of value to you. Why? Because you can make change to the area and avoid the situation from maturing.
Benefit #3: One Location for Telemetry Data
An OEM neutral forklift safety system is going to report the situation as it is. As the front end monitors and captures near misses, impacts, and checklist answers, the backend or the telemetry Dashboard is keeping track in real-time regardless of location. All information from one or multiple locations is immediately captured, tracked and ready for your analysis any time of day or night.
The graphics-based telemetry Dashboard allows you to sort by worksite down to the individual forklift. You can analyze as a whole the amount of forklift failures and determine why and take action. You can analyze a particular forklift operator’s performance, or the health of a forklift fleet. The benefit is that you get an unbiased view of the entire fleet regardless of OEM that is new, leased, or used.
