Be in the Know with AI-Based PIT Safety Compliance

PIT compliance is well on its way with the adoption of digital forklift inspections for OSHA compliance. Not only are we having conversations with safety managers that are experiencing the move from manual forklift inspections to digital, early or earlier adopters of PIT compliance are also searching for a new digital forklift inspection. Why is this occurring? Let’s find out.

What is PIT Compliance?

PIT compliance, or Powered Industrial Truck compliance is the process to ensure the PIT is safe for operation. As we all know, OSHA mandates PIT safety by ensuring a thorough inspection of any PIT within the facility prior to the start of the operators shift.

The Move from Digital to Digital

There are your early adopters for digital PIT compliance. These safety managers are on the forefront of converting their manual forklift inspections in order to capture the information in a way that can be later analyzed. Their efforts were advantageous for their company, but with the new, more advanced technologies available, they are finding their current digital PIT compliance solution needs to be updated or replaced.

This is due to the lack of data collection, or accuracy of the data collection. The early PIT compliance solutions digitized the forklift inspection, but didn’t collect the data in a way to make the information useful. Are the new digital PIT compliance systems better?

Advanced Digital PIT Compliance

The PIT compliance systems today are more advanced with the utilization of AI technology and data collection with analytics. The PIT compliance system that SIERA.AI offers is packaged with not only the digital forklift inspection, but also with forklift impact detection for greater visibility into the movement, operation and health of the PIT.

Digital Inspection

The PIT digital inspection begins in the telemetry Dashboard where the inspection itself is entered or uploaded. Of course, you can have multiple forklift inspections that reflect the questions asked for the various material handling vehicles. If you have 1 or 100+, the SIERA.AI forklift safety system can support your facilities.

Once the digital inspection is assigned to the asset (material handling vehicles) in the Dashboard, the correct inspection questions will automatically appear when the operator signs in to the forklift safety system. The questions can be randomized to ensure reading and for greater accuracy of the answers, or they can be static in nature. You can choose one option, and change your mind down the road.

Collection of Data

Collection of Data

This is where the benefits of technology lie. The answers to the forklift inspection questions are automatically captured and calculated in the telemetry Dashboard. SIERA.AI takes it a step further by using a graphics-based system for ease of reading and getting to the information quickly.

The collected data provides immediate notification if a lift truck failed its inspection. You can go into the Dashboard and find which question failed, get an understanding if this is the first time, or if a pattern is beginning to form. You can also receive notifications if the lift truck had an impact that is greater than your setting. If so, then you can track the pattern with the operator, forklift or both.
