Industry-Leading 99.6% Accuracy
Safety Shield sets the industry standard with its 99.6% accuracy, powered by advanced AI technology that identifies only the human form. By filtering out distractions like tools or equipment, operators are alerted only when a real risk is detected. This focused approach helps maintain sharp attention on the task at hand, reducing unnecessary disruptions and significantly lowering the chances of accidents.
Enhanced Safety and Visibility
The system allows 2-4 HD cameras to be mounted at the front and rear of the forklift, offering customisable coverage from 0.5 to 50 meters. This ensures clear visibility of pedestrians and hazards, tailored to the worksite’s needs. Built to withstand harsh conditions, the cameras are waterproof, shockproof, and dust-proof, ensuring reliable performance in tough environments.
Maintain Productivity
Safety Shield offers customisable safety zones to suit each worksite’s layout and needs. Forklift operators can adjust yellow and red zones for tight spaces, wide aisles, or areas with high pedestrian traffic, improving alert accuracy and reducing disruptions. This customisation improves site efficiency by targeting alerts more accurately, helping operators avoid accidents while keeping productivity high.
Increase Operational Efficiency
The easy-to-use portal delivers live video streaming, GPS tracking, and heat mapping for better forklift site safety. Operators stay alert to hazards, while GPS ensures smoother coordination. Heat mapping highlights high-risk zones, helping managers adjust workflows to reduce accidents. This streamlines operations to boosts efficiency and create a safer workplace.
Accountability and Improvement
The live data reporting includes time, date, and location-stamped collision alerts, ensuring transparency and accountability. Forklift operators and site managers can track incidents and safety trends, identify improvement areas, and use the data for training. This encourages safe practices, reduces future accidents, and drives continuous improvement in safety standards. Moreover, the portal is remotely accessible so the system can be monitored from any device, any time, anywhere.
