Warehouse & Workshop Safety Upgrade: Forklift Collision Avoidance System Enhances Material Handl

I. Deep Dive into Safety Hazards

Busy industrial sites feature complex intersections, workshop exits, and warehouse aisles where structural obstructions, stacked goods, and moving equipment create persistent blind spots. Operators of forklifts and heavy vehicles struggle to detect pedestrians, other vehicles, or obstacles at crossings due to obscured sightlines. Frequent vehicle-pedestrian interactions and high noise levels further impair visual/auditory communication, escalating collision risks. Such incidents cause property damage, injuries, and disrupt operational safety.

II. Innovative Solution: UWB-Based Collision Prevention

Technology Core
Leveraging Ultra-Wideband (UWB) precision ranging (centimeter-level accuracy), sensors installed in critical zones monitor forklift movements in real-time. Immediate warnings activate when vehicles approach protected areas.

Key Features

• Precision Ranging: Real-time distance measurement between forklifts, doorways, pedestrians, and obstacles.

• Proactive Alerts: Triggers audible-visual warnings upon breaching safety thresholds.

• Multi-Modal Warnings:

  • Voice alerts: "Caution! Vehicle approaching"

  • Flashing strobe lights

  • (Optional) Ground-projected symbols: "STOP" or "CAUTION VEHICLE"
    

  • 
    

Advantages

• Instant Response: <0.5s detection-to-alert latency

• Intuitive Communication: Universal symbols + multilingual audio

• Adaptive Configuration: Adjustable warning distances/custom tones

• Proven Safety Gains: 68% collision reduction in pilot deployments

Application Scenarios

1. Blind Spot Protection: Corners and curved aisles

2. Workshop Entrance Guard: Entry/exit zone safety segregation

3. Warehouse Gate Safety: Prevents vehicle-pedestrian collisions

4. Aisle Traffic Control: Ensures smooth material flow in narrow passages
   

WTSAFE’s Forklift Collision Avoidance System leverages Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology to deliver highly efficient collision-warning coverage at warehouse/workshop entrances and aisle zones, providing enterprises with a solid safeguard for safe production.
