Slamcore launched Slamcore Alert, a pedestrian detection and driver alert solution that immediately transforms existing industrial machines—such as forklifts and manual material handling equipment—into safety-aware assets.
"Robot-only operations simply isn't feasible for most existing facilities, especially since the forklift market continues to grow rapidly," says Owen Nicholson, CEO of Slamcore. "We are moving beyond that mindset. Our technology empowers human controlled, existing machines with 'robot eyes' to give them the precise spatial perception they need to operate effectively and safely."
Key takeaways:
· Slamcore Alert applies cutting-edge AI to accident prediction. The system consists of an intelligent, AI-enabled camera that can be quickly added to existing vehicles. It continuously monitors the vehicle’s surroundings for pedestrians and immediately alerts the operator to potential safety concerns with no wearables required.
· Slamcore Alert is a specialized feature that builds upon the foundation of Slamcore Aware, the company's existing visual-spatial solution that functions as a real-time location system. This foundational tracking data enables comprehensive traffic flow optimization in facilities where people, manual vehicles, and mobile robots operate alongside each other.
· Slamcore Alert provides immediate ROI through accident reduction and enhanced worker protection. This safety layer complements Slamcore Aware, which enhances the performance of current assets rather than requiring expensive, large-scale overhauls. Together, the two solutions make factories and warehouses not just more efficient, but significantly safer places to work.
