AI Impact Detection Systems
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an exciting new avenue of technology, and it’s something that companies around the world are looking to incorporate within their solutions. With its powerful data capture and analysis capabilities, AI offers immense potential for improving warehouse operations, such as mitigating forklift-related accidents and injuries.
Here, we’ll explore AI impact detection systems, their benefits, and how to find the right AI-powered software for your material handling team. We’ll also discuss our new AI-camera-based forklift safety and collision avoidance system.
Since AI is the latest advancement in tech, it’s important to stay in the know so that you can protect your team with the most effective and modern safety tools available.
Benefits of AI Safety
Much like when UWB, radar, and lasers were integrated into forklift safety, AI safety tools are now revolutionizing safety in material handling. AI-powered consumer end-solutions are taking practically every industry by storm, and industries that rely on material handling are no exception. AI solves complex problems and simplifies operations, and AI safety is here to simplify your day-to-day life in the warehouse. Let’s take a look at a couple of benefits of AI safety.
1. Automates Safety
AI has the potential to automate lift truck safety, relieving human operators of the pressure of responding quickly to collision risks. Depending on your AI impact detection systems, the AI safety tool can identify pedestrians through a camera and automatically stop or reduce the speed of your vehicle.
2. Real-time Alerts
The right AI safety system will sound real-time alerts and react immediately in response to sensing the risk of collision. Whereas your operators may be focused and miss collision hazards, AI impact detection systems can respond in real time without sounding false alarms.
3. Wide View
Human employees can only do so much regarding safety. Drivers can miss collision hazards because of blind spots or environmental desensitization. This is where the power of AI safety steps in–AI impact detection systems built to protect warehouses will have wide viewing angles to thoroughly protect lift truck operators outside of their normal viewing range.
4. Increased Team Confidence
Another benefit of AI safety is increased team confidence. When leadership employs high-visibility safety tools, material handling employees know they’re protected, improving confidence and productivity. Teams can focus on the tasks at hand without worrying about potential collision risks.
5. Integration With Other Safety Systems
Powerful AI impact detection systems will have the ability to integrate with other safety systems. Doing so streamlines your safety options, closing the safety gaps around the warehouse. Simplifying safety interfaces maintains a user-friendly approach, reducing confusion and keeping warehouses safer.
AI impact detection systems certainly offer numerous benefits for warehouses and other material handling environments. Now, let’s explore how to find the right AI forklift safety for your warehouse.
Choosing Your AI Forklift Safety Software
Choosing your AI forklift safety software shouldn’t be a difficult decision. But how do you know what to look for in AI impact detection systems? Our experts recommend that your AI forklift safety software be user-friendly, durable, and address your specific safety needs.
Ease of Use
While this may seem obvious, AI forklift safety software should be easy to use and navigate. Even though AI is a new development in tech, it won’t help your team if your software is unintuitive. Ease of use is critical for improving operations because your team needs to operate it well and with minimal training. A user-friendly design cuts onboarding time and allows teams to realize the safety benefits of the system as soon as possible.
Durability
Lift trucks are often operated in harsh conditions and undergo high-pressure cleaning. Choosing durable AI forklift safety software eliminates the need to replace it due to the environment and wear and tear. Since such software is built to improve warehouse and lift truck safety, it needs to be able to withstand the harsh conditions in which lift trucks work.
Addressing Safety Needs
Ultimately, your AI forklift safety software needs to meet your team’s safety needs. Even though some solutions may offer high-tech whistles and bells, your team requires a solution that addresses its unique gaps in safety. Every warehouse is different, and your team should receive either adaptable or custom solutions to keep your workplace safe. In your search for AI impact detectors, be sure to cross-reference system capabilities with your expectations of an AI-powered anti-collision tool.
Since AI is an emergent technology, many safety companies are eager to incorporate it into their solutions, so it may seem overwhelming to decide on an AI safety system. However, at ELOKON, we believe in keeping safety simple and straightforward, and we’re proud to introduce ELOvision, our AI forklift collision detection system.
ELOvision: ELOKON AI Forklift Collision Detection System
ELOvision is an AI forklift collision detection system that uses cameras to identify pedestrians and prevent collisions. ELOvision does not need a wearable device on pedestrian employees to identify them–offering cutting-edge accident mitigation. This AI impact detection system identifies pedestrians in real time and automatically reduces the speed of the equipped lift truck to prevent collisions.
ELOvision offers customizable alert zones so your team can tailor them to fit your warehouse layout and safety needs. In addition to this adaptability, ELOvision also offers wide viewing angles to close safety gaps and mitigate blind spots. The system’s automatic pedestrian detection and response can increase team confidence and improve productivity. This AI forklift collision detection system also integrates with other UWB proximity detection systems and fleet telematic systems, further streamlining operations.
Our experts designed ELOvision to be easy to use and durable, providing immediate safety coverage for a long time. With ELOKON solutions, your team can confidently tackle the toughest material handling challenges with optimized safety capabilities.
