Pedestrian collisions can happen just as easily on construction sites as in warehouse and production facilities. It only takes a second for someone to take their eye off what is happening around them and glance their smart phone. To prevent such accidents, we have been developing a new VIA Mobile360 Construction Equipment Safety System based […]
Prevention is the fastest, most efficient, and inexpensive way to protect your most valuable assets: people. Morally and financially, preventing accidents that involve injuries to people should be your highest safety priority. Workplace accidents involving heavy equipment, loads and site infrastructure often cause severe staff injury or even fatalities. Even when accidents don’t harm a […]
It’s no accident that some logistics businesses are safer and more productive than others. Forklift action.com recently reported on a forklift-related death in Singapore: The Indian national was standing on the rear counterweight of a forklift while tying an electrical cable onto the side of an overhead beam when the forklift moved backwards suddenly. He […]
Hanging on to your best-performing employees is a challenge for any employer but in the materials handling world perhaps even more so. A connected Forklift Safety System (FSS) can help. The Great Resignation has often been viewed through the lens of white-collar workers who resist going into the office and job hop for higher salaries. […]
Where most people perhaps tend to think of AI-powered FSS products as simply smart dash cams that help detect and prevent accidents, the new breed of cloud-connected FSS aim to go much further in assisting drivers, inspectors, trainers and managers to speed up critical but often productivity-inhibiting tasks. An FSS like the VIA Mobile360 Forklift […]
A cloud-connected forklift adds tremendous efficiencies to how fast and easily you collect and manage maintenance, inspection, and training processes and information. While inspection, maintenance, and training are essential prerequisites of any materials handling operation, they are often viewed as chores that slow down operations and get in the way of getting more work done. […]
As global deployments of the VIA Mobile360 Forklift Safety System accelerate, we are stepping new hardware and software innovation to meet evolving customer needs. During the first half of this year, we rolled out a number of significant new enhancements to the system, including the Speed and Reverse Light Sensor Kit, the 36V – 100V […]
Cloud-connected forklift safety systems help managers make sense of driver behavior and vehicle efficiency to enable management decisions that improve driver safety, well-being, and productivity. The Tip of the Iceberg Solving the point problem of directly improving driver safety by detecting behavior and changing environments is just the tip of the iceberg for forklift safety […]
Harnessing the functionality of advanced AI via mobile apps, a mature cloud, and modern networks makes setting up the VIA Mobile360 Forklift Safety System simple. Timing Is Everything AI’s commercial moment in the sun is underway, but it’s certainly standing on the shoulders of more mature technologies that have made its success possible. Providing a […]
Going beyond a driver behavior detection safety assistant, the AI-enabled forklift expands its safety and productivity role to those around it in the bustling workspace. Beyond Driver Safety Driver safety, performance, and productivity will always be key roles for the AI-enabled forklift. Detection of driver fatigue and distracting behaviors like smoking or smartphone usage can […]
