ELOKON supports customers across a wide range of industries where people, vehicles and machinery operate in close proximity.

This includes:

• warehousing and logistics
• manufacturing
• production facilities
• intralogistics operations

Any environment where improving safety can also drive efficiency and process optimisation.

ELOKON provides solutions across three main business areas:

• Material Handling (forklift truck and pedestrian safety + fleet management)
• Machinery Safety (safety solutions for industrial machinery and equipment)
• Ventures (innovation projects and new technology development)

ELOKON solutions focus on preventing incidents and improving visibility of safety risks. Depending on the application, this can include:

• Vehicle-to-pedestrian proximity detection
• Vehicle-to-vehicle proximity detection and collision avoidance
• Vehicle-to-infrastructure detection and collision avoidance
• Warning and alert systems
• Fleet management, monitoring and reporting
• Machine safety components and system support
• Integrated solutions combining safety and data

ELOshield is ELOKON’s vehicle-to-pedestrian proximity detection system, designed to reduce the risk of collisions in busy intralogistics environments. It helps ensure that people and vehicles are more aware of each other by triggering warnings when predefined safety distances are breached, supporting safer operations in warehouses and production facilities.

Yes. All ELOKON systems are designed to be retrofitted to existing industrial trucks, making them suitable for mixed fleets and multi-brand operations. This allows your organisation to enhance safety without the need for full fleet replacement.

ELOKON solutions are designed for use on:

• Counterbalance forklift trucks
• Reach trucks
• Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) forklift trucks
• Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
• And all other types of material handling equipment

The exact configuration depends on your fleet, site layout and specific safety requirements.

ELOKON systems are built to perform reliably in demanding industrial environments such as:

• Warehouses; both climate-controlled and non-climate-controlled
• Loading and unloading areas
• Manufacturing facilities
• Production logistics environments

ELOKON systems help reduce safety risks by increasing employee awareness and enabling preventative action. Depending on your solution, this can include:

• Alerting drivers and pedestrians in critical situations
• Reducing collision risks in blind spots and at intersections
• Supporting safer behaviours through data insights and reporting
• Strengthening safety culture through measurable improvements

The result is a safer working environment and a more structured approach to safety management.

Yes. ELOKON solutions are designed to support organisations looking to strengthen their safety programmes and align with internal policies and industry standards. Many customers use ELOKON systems as part of a broader strategy for risk reduction, workforce training and continuous safety improvement.

ELOKON supports your organisation throughout the entire project lifecycle, including:

• Consultation and solution design
• System rollout and onboarding
• Implementation support
• Ongoing service and technical support

This ensures your solution is correctly configured and delivers measurable value in day-to-day operations.

Installation timelines depend on the scope of the project, including fleet size, number of sites and the selected solution. ELOKON provides structured implementation planning to minimise disruption and ensure efficient, reliable rollout.

ELOKON’s Machinery Safety business unit focuses on improving safety around industrial machinery and equipment. This includes solutions and expertise that help protect employees working near machinery, support safe machine operation and contribute to safer production environments.

Machinery Safety solutions are relevant wherever industrial machinery presents potential hazards, such as manufacturing lines, automated systems, production environments and machine-operated workflows. ELOKON helps organisations reduce risk and develop safer processes through appropriate safety concepts and technologies.

ELOKON Ventures is the innovation-focused business unit dedicated to exploring and developing new technologies, partnerships and forward-looking safety concepts. It enables ELOKON to test and scale emerging ideas that may become the next generation of safety and efficiency solutions.

Ventures enables ELOKON to stay ahead of evolving market demands by identifying opportunities early and developing solutions that address future challenges in industrial safety. It also supports collaboration with partners and accelerates innovation for long-term customer benefit.

You can find brochures and additional resources in the Downloads section of the website. These materials are designed to help you learn more about the ELOKON portfolio, understand common use cases and explore how safety systems can be integrated into your existing operations.

You can contact ELOKON via our contact page using several options. Our team can help you assess your requirements, recommend a suitable solution and plan the next steps for implementation and rollout.

Yes. ELOKON solutions are frequently deployed in environments where organisations want to standardise safety processes across multiple sites. The systems and services are designed to support scalable deployment and consistent safety improvements across locations.

• Passive Warning Systems primarily focus on alerting drivers using signage, markings, barriers and fencing.
• Active Warning Systems focus on alerting both drivers and pedestrians through real-time alerts, alarms and system interventions.

It’s important to note that neither approach is inherently better. Your specific environment and safety objectives will determine which solution is most appropriate.

Forklift truck accidents remain one of the leading causes of serious workplace injuries in the U.K., particularly in warehousing, manufacturing, and logistics environments. Analysis of Health and Safety Executive (HSE) data, RIDDOR incident reports, and UK safety research shows that the majority of incidents stem from preventable factors such as:

1. Pedestrian Collisions
2. Inadequate training / operator competence
3. Overturning (Tip-Overs)
4. Improper Load Handling
5. Poor visibility & reversing incidents

Understanding these common causes is critical for improving workplace safety, ensuring HSE compliance, and reducing costly downtime and injury-related claims.

ELOKON’s range of forklift truck proximity detection systems uses a combination of advanced technologies, including:

• Ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless technology to detect, warn and alert both drivers and pedestrians in real time within the ELOshield product family
• Advanced laser technology within the ELOprotect system
• AI-powered camera technology within the ELOvision system

The key benefits of ELOKON’s proximity warning systems include:

• Safer and more efficient material handling operations
• Automatic detection of pedestrians near forklift trucks
• Automatic detection of forklift trucks near other vehicles or AGVs
• Customisable detection zones tailored to your site
• Extended detection range for enhanced protection
• Scalable protection for any number of employees or vehicles
