Camera-Based Pedestrian Detection System
Like other industries learning how to implement artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline their operations, material handling safety is also evolving to incorporate the latest tech. AI camera-based pedestrian detection systems are material handling’s latest safety venture, bringing new ways to protect warehousing teams around the world.
Here, we’ll explore some of the revolutions in warehouse pedestrian safety, as well as the advantages of these types of camera-based forklift collision avoidance systems. We’ll also introduce ELOvision, ELOKON’s AI-camera-based forklift safety and collision avoidance system.
AI can be utilized to make warehouses safer–it’s up to material handling teams to implement it to protect their workforce and warehouse more efficiently.
Revolutions in Warehouse Pedestrian Safety and AI
AI is transforming industries, and material handling safety is no exception. With new capabilities and features, AI camera-based anti-collision systems offer new ways of making safety systems simple. Let’s explore a few revolutions in warehouse pedestrian safety that are made possible by AI.
Real-Time Monitoring of Optical Data
Traditional anti-collision systems use UWB, radar, and laser technology to detect possible collision risks. This tech is highly valuable in any warehouse because it increases visibility for pedestrian employees and drivers and helps material handling teams overcome other safety obstacles. AI is a new tool that teams can also implement to close safety gaps around their warehouse and ensure the safety of their employees. AI anti-collision uses real-time monitoring of optical data to identify collision risks and improve safety. Depending on the system, they can automatically slow down or stop the equipped vehicle to prevent collisions.
Quick Response Time
Because of AI’s powerful computing capabilities, it offers a quick response time, preventing collisions before they occur. Whereas human delayed response can lead to accidents, lift truck operators can be assured that AI warehouse pedestrian safety tech is monitoring a wide viewing angle around the lift truck to prevent colliding with pedestrians.
Low Equipment Requirement
Another revolution of AI-powered warehouse pedestrian safety is its low equipment requirement. UWB anti-collision systems are powerful tools that provide an additional layer of safety to any warehouse, but they require pedestrians to be equipped with wearable modules that communicate with lift truck modules. If your warehouse is looking for a safety system with minimal wearable equipment, AI-powered pedestrian safety systems don’t require wearables to work. These systems can identify possible collision risks with pedestrians without wearable devices, making safety even simpler.
Real-time monitoring of optical data, quick response time, and low equipment requirements are just a few benefits of warehouse pedestrian safety systems that leverage AI. Because of its elegant and efficient design, AI camera-based pedestrian detection systems streamline operations and safety, making a protected and productive warehouse easier to achieve. Next, let’s take a look at some advantages of these types of anti-collision systems.
Advantages of Camera-Based Forklift Collision Avoidance System
Camera-based forklift collision avoidance systems offer a number of benefits that passive safety systems don’t have. Because of AI’s ability to capture and analyze optical information, it streamlines warehouse safety while remaining user-friendly. Such forklift collision avoidance systems offer scalability, simple integration, and cost-effective safety.
Scalability
Passive safety systems like mirrors, lights, and signage posted to increase awareness of collision hazards are required and set a safety baseline. However, when a team or warehouse expands, more effort is required to enhance safety around the warehouse to help keep it safe. And over time, employees can become desensitized to these safety systems. However, camera-based pedestrian detection systems can sense more collision risks in bigger teams and warehouses because of AI’s ability to quickly and accurately identify such risks. When your warehouse is ready to expand, the right AI-based pedestrian detection system will adapt to your new safety needs. Just like our other safety solutions, ELOKON’s ELOvision offers a scalable design that protects your team every step of the way.
Seamless Integration
The right forklift collision avoidance system will integrate seamlessly into your operations. By being easy to install, use, and maintain, the system should cause minimal initial downtime, ultimately improving safety and productivity. Your employees can be confident as they navigate the warehouse, knowing they have the tech to detect potential collisions before they realize them.
Cost-Effective Safety
Cost efficiency is certainly not the last benefit that forklift collision avoidance systems offer, but it’s an important one. Anti-collision systems can be costly in terms of equipment and installation services. However, the right AI-camera-based pedestrian detection system requires minimal equipment and time to install, keeping safety cost-efficient. At ELOKON, we believe in keeping warehouse safety simple and accessible, and we’ve designed ELOvision to work with virtually any warehouse environment.
Scalability, seamless integration, and cost-effectiveness are just some of the benefits of camera-based pedestrian detection systems. AI offers new ways to protect the warehouse, and our team at ELOKON is dedicated to implementing the latest developments in warehouse safety technology. We’re proud to introduce ELOvision, our first automated safety and driver assistance system to utilize AI’s ability to prevent lift truck collisions.
ELOvision: ELOKON’s AI-Camera-Based Forklift Safety and Collision Avoidance System
Our experts at ELOKON have designed one of our latest forklift collision avoidance systems, which leverages AI to detect pedestrian employees in real time. ELOvision serves as a simple camera-based pedestrian detection system that slows the lift truck down in the event that it senses nearby pedestrians.
ELOvision, although compact and elegant, offers a number of features that raise safety standards. This camera-based pedestrian detection system has customizable alert zones so your team can tailor the system to fit your warehouse safety needs. This system reduces latency to ensure fast and accurate data capture and analysis so it can react promptly to collision risks. In addition to real-time monitoring, ELOvision has wide viewing angles to complement its real-time processing. These wide viewing angles mitigate blind spots, helping drivers identify collision risks in areas otherwise missed.
This camera-based forklift collision avoidance system protects warehouse employees in low light and harsh conditions like refrigerated areas. This ensures that your team is thoroughly protected even in the toughest material handling conditions–arguably where employees need an additional layer of safety the most.
ELOvision also offers integration with other UWB and fleet telematic systems, like ELOshield, ELOfleet, and ELOfusion. Combining more than one automated safety and driver assistance system provides more comprehensive safety, filling in safety gaps around the warehouse.
From UWB, laser, radar, and AI solutions, ELOKON offers a number of different safety solutions to protect virtually every area of your workplace. By increasing safety and productivity, our solutions revolutionize how companies approach employee wellness.
