VIA Technologies, Inc. launched the VIA Mobile360 AI Forklift Safety Kit to prevent accidents and avoid losses from damage to goods in busy warehouses and supply chain hubs.
“As warehouses and supply chain hubs continue to ramp up the speed, scale, and scope of their operations to meet the exploding demand for last-mile deliveries, it is vital that they take pro-active steps to ensure the safety of their staff in their busy, high-pressure working environments,” says Richard Brown, VP of marketing, VIA Technologies, Inc. “The VIA Mobile360 AI Forklift Safety Kit enables them to meet this need by adding an extra set of smart eyes that improves operator awareness of potential threats around their vehicle.”
Key takeaways:
- With it real-time 360-degree Surround View System video and Dynamic Moving Object Detection capabilities, the kit enables forklift operators to identify potential safety hazards such as the unexpected arrival of another vehicle or person within a close range in time to take appropriate action to avert a collision.
- The kit’s highly-sophisticated Driver Safety System further enhances worksite safety by issuing alerts whenever it detects signs of operator fatigue, distraction, and dangerous behavior such as using a smartphone. To prevent unauthorized staff from operating the vehicle, the DSS also supports Driver ID using facial recognition technology.
- Other key features include optional seat belt buckle sensor; a 60-degree camera with infrared for Driver Monitoring System, including support for yawning, drowsiness, eyes closed, head down, smoking, and phone usage detection as well as Driver ID (Facial Recognition); and more.
