Simplify Your Forklift Operations with Real-Time Data & Reporting

Smart forklift data is the result of information collected digitally during the forklift shift or shifts. The data can be used for decision making on a variety of topics including operator training, high risk areas within the facility, and forklift downtime. Gaining insights with the smart forklift data technology captured with a forklift safety system can help reach the goal of zero accidents and zero injuries. Let’s see how smart forklift data can help you.

How is Smart Forklift Data Captured?

Smart forklift data is the result of data captured from a forklift safety system. The forklift safety system resides on the forklift and is instrumental in ensuring digital forklift access, forklift pre-shift inspection, calculating forklift impacts as well as near misses and much more. All of the data is captured with scanners and is analyzed with AI machine learning technology and tabulated and reported in the online telemetry Dashboard. The forklift safety system can be installed on any lift truck regardless of make, model or even age.

Forklift Operator Training

Smart forklift data can help determine when a forklift operator needs training. As the system calculates low, medium and high impacts, you will know ‘who’ is having the most impacts and potentially why. When that is determined you can tailor training for the forklift operator. Maybe it’s the result of a certain area within the facility that is too tight for the operator to turn. Tailored training can help resolve the issue and reduce impacts. Being able to see the data can provide the insights necessary to help the forklift driver overcome areas where they need more training and attention.

High Risk Areas within the Facility

Tracking low, medium and high impacts within the facility will give you valuable insights. You’ll be able to determine where the impacts are occurring in order to determine why it is occurring. Sometimes the answer can be as simple as stacked boxes that are up against a wall causing the forklift turn to be challenging. Moving the boxes can remove the cause of the high-risk areas.

Impacts can also tell you the force of the impact. G force can tell you how hard it is hitting another piece of equipment or the facility itself such as the racking system. This can help you determine traffic in a particular area, or how much has the racking system been compromised and are items being stored at risk of collapsing.

Forklift Downtime

There’s nothing worse than forklift downtime. It costs a company time, money and loss of productivity. Smart forklift data can keep track of forklift inspection failures as well as which asset, how often and areas of failure. With this information, you can better schedule repairs and ongoing maintenance to ensure maximum uptime for each forklift asset. Get notifications through the telemetry Dashboard to ensure timely repairs when a forklift fails the inspection.

Summary

Smart forklift data is critical for managing the forklifts in one, two or all of your worksites. Maximize your productivity and efficiency of your forklift as well as keeping forklift operators safe and customer product free from damage.
