Yard & Site Logistics Control
Detect hazardous approaches between forklifts and workers in real time,
without any additional wearable equipment.
Target Customers
• Manufacturing plant and production facility operators
• Logistics center and large warehouse operators
• Construction site and industrial complex operators
• Industrial safety, facility, and logistics operations departments
Challenges
• Forklifts and workers move through the same aisles and intersections, exposing them to constant collision risk
• Views are blocked by loads and equipment, so drivers and workers fail to notice each other
• Site layouts and logistics routes change frequently, so fixed safety facilities alone have limited ability to address hazard points
Existing Limitations
• Mirrors, warning lights, and floor markings are passive methods that depend on workers’ attention
• Tag-based systems require every worker to wear a device and require battery and loss management
• CCTV can miss objects due to occlusion by loads and lighting changes
• Difficult to quantitatively identify pre-accident proximity situations and recurring hazardous routes
Solution Approach
• Detect forklifts and workers with LiDAR and track position, direction of movement, and approach in real time
• Define hazard sections such as intersections, entrances, and loading areas as virtual safety zones
• Assess risk level from the distance and direction of movement between forklifts and workers and provide staged alerts
• Integrate with warning lights, speakers, driver terminals, and integrated control systems
• Accumulate proximity and hazard zone entry history to analyze accident-prone sections
Expected Benefits
• Reduce the risk of forklift–worker collisions and serious accidents
• Detect objects on site without requiring additional tags
• Improve recurring hazardous sections and inefficient logistics routes
• Strengthen safety managers’ real-time response and accident root-cause analysis capabilities
• Minimize operational losses caused by accidents and work stoppages
