Who Needs to Know? Taking Action on Real Time Alerts.
Real time alerts about a forklift is not something you regularly read about. It’s usually about flashing lights, horns blowing or loud beeping sounds. Those are not the type of real time alerts about a forklift we’re going to discuss today.These are the notifications that make you stop in your tracks because something happened that you need to know about…right now. Take action…right now. Let’s take a look at a couple of them.Forklift Inspection Failure Real Time Alert
Let’s start at the beginning of the day. Your forklift operator is ready to begin his shift. The operator walks up to the forklift and logs into the S3 Safety System by scanning his badge or by entering in his personal PIN number. The operator continues with his normal routine of conducting a forklift inspection by answering the randomized order of questions and answers about the forklift. One of the questions he answers is not a favorable answer for the forklift to operate today.What happens? A real time alert about a forklift is sent to the maintenance manager via text and / or email. It was initially set up this way to alert the person who immediately needs to know. The facility manager, opted not to know each one of the forklift inspection failure notifications knowing that the maintenance manager will take good care of the situation.Forklift Impact Real Time Alert
As the forklift driver goes about his day, situations came up where an impact occurred. One was with the racking system, the other was with another vehicle. Both times the impact was over 4G, which is the minimum threshold the plant / facility manager has set on the S3 safety system. As soon as both of those impacts occurred, real time alerts about the forklift went directly to the plant / facility manager, maintenance manager and the plant / facility supervisor via text or email, each has their own preference. The manager had the option of going to the scene and had the opportunity to observe the situation and evaluate the next steps. This is a crucial real time alert about a forklift.
Access Control
Now that we’re at the end of the forklift driver’s shift, the operator did all the right steps in logging off and shutting down the machine. There are a few workers lingering around the facility and they decide it would be fun to try to driver the forklift. It’s just sitting there unattended, why not give it a try.As the workers try to access the forklift, the forklift won’t start. So now what do they do? Well, how about inserting random numbers on the touchscreen. Maybe they’ll get lucky and hit the right numbers! Nothing. Well, that was uneventful. Exactly what you wanted.Summary
