Autonomous and fully automated forklifts are making their way into the modern warehouse and manufacturing facility. Even though they display good promise, autonomous forklift has some challenges such as the initial investment, system integration, maintenance, technological boundaries, and workforce impact. What are the challenges and promise of autonomous forklifts in modern warehousing?
We know that the automation landscape continues to evolve with the rise of AI, machine learning, e-commerce and logistics optimization, collaborative robots, IoT connectivity, and a focus on sustainability. For SIERA AI, our forklift safety system brings in the best of AI and machine learning in order to maximize safety within the facility.
Our forklift safety system is a single solution, but can be broken down into two solutions. One is the S2 which is the digital forklift checklist and impact detection. The S3 includes everything in the S2 along with object detection and pedestrian detection. Both systems utilize forklift access control which stops those that are unauthorized from starting the machine! And it will also manage the forklift drivers certification. There is much to the system to learn about, which is why you need to ‘see’ it for yourself to experience the range of safety in your facility. It’s proactive safety at its peak. Whatever the challenges and promise of autonomous forklifts in modern warehousing, SIERA AI can protect manned forklifts or autonomous forklifts to ensure your investment stays in tact. Contact us!
