Top 3 Findings for Workplace Safety Technology for Forklifts with AI

Safety and Health Magazine had a good article entitled, “Safety technology from the employers’ perspective: new report.” The article took a closer look at workplace safety technology, and not only did it apply to trips and falls and ladder incidents but it also applies to forklift trucks.

In the article, it stated that employers found workplace safety technology to be vital especially with the implementation of education and transparency. As a result, they found the following top 3 findings.

1. Workplace Safety Technology Increased Productivity and Efficiency

In the article, it didn’t go through all of the details of which workplace safety technology increased productivity and efficiency, but here we’ll quickly discuss workplace safety technology for forklifts. SIERA.AI offers AI based, machine learning safety systems. The S2 Digital Inspection with Impact Detection includes digital forklift checklist, forklift access control and forklift impact detection.

• The digital forklift checklist is the best way to monitor the health of the forklift with immediate notifications of any issues. All information is captured and stored in the telemetry Dashboard for further analysis.
• Forklift access control is vital to keeping unauthorized people off of the forklift. Without the proper credentials, the forklift will not start.
• The forklift impact detection tracks low, medium and high impacts, allowing you to know where and when and by who these impacts are occurring. Setting notifications is also an option and tracking of the impacts are automatic as well in the Dashboard.

By knowing the information and making the proper and knowledgeable decision making, your forklifts will become more productive as uptime increases. In addition, by taking corrective action, the operator and forklift efficiency will also increase making your operation more productive and efficient.

The S3 Pedestrian Detection includes all above and also includes:

• Pedestrian and object detection with AI technology. This workplace safety technology warns the operator that a pedestrian and object is within a defined distance and immediate action must be taken to keep the environment safe. This again improves the productivity and efficiency of the facility floor movement.
• AutoSlow to a Safe Stop is the ultimate in workplace safety technology as it automatically slows down the forklift to a rolling stop when the operator doesn’t adhere to the forklift safety system’s warnings.

2. Monitor in Real-Time Multiple Locations Remotely

This doesn’t mean ‘seeing’ exactly, for an AI based forklift safety system, you’ll be able to ‘see’ what’s going on in real-time with the Dashboard from the high level perspective down to a particular forklift or forklift operator. You can check it 24×7, 7 days week online in real-time.

3. Interpreting the Data Collected

They cite that some have issues with it and some do not. Telemetry can be a bit overwhelming, which is why SIERA.AI’s Dashboard is built with a graphics based perspective. You can easily get to the information needed without hiring a full time person. Our customers helped us build the Dashboard by stating what information was critical to them. You don’t need a dedicated person, as you get the information you want right now.
