Warehouse Pedestrian Detection System: WTSAFE’s Smart Forklift Collision Avoidance for Safer Warehou

In busy warehouses where people and forklifts work side by side, collisions are one of the biggest safety concerns. Limited visibility, blind corners, and operator distraction often lead to dangerous near misses or serious accidents.

To address these challenges, WTSAFE has developed an intelligent warehouse pedestrian detection system — a comprehensive solution that combines AI vision detection and UWB proximity sensing to prevent collisions between forklifts and pedestrians.

AI-Powered Pedestrian Detection for Forklifts

The AI forklift collision avoidance system uses high-definition cameras and intelligent recognition algorithms to monitor the forklift’s surroundings in real time. It can accurately detect pedestrians, other forklifts, and obstacles even in low-light or dusty environments.

When a person enters the warning zone, the system immediately triggers an audio-visual alert, reminding the operator to slow down or stop. In high-risk situations, the system can automatically reduce speed or apply braking to avoid an accident.

This AI warehouse pedestrian detection system effectively eliminates human blind spots, helping operators stay alert and reducing the risk of collisions caused by distraction or fatigue.

UWB-Based Blind Corner Warning System

In complex warehouse layouts with multiple aisles and intersections, blind corners are another major source of accidents. WTSAFE’s UWB pedestrian detection system uses Ultra-Wideband (UWB) positioning technology to monitor the movement of forklifts and workers in these hard-to-see areas.

Each forklift is equipped with a UWB base unit, while workers wear lightweight UWB tags. When a pedestrian and a forklift approach the same corner, the system detects their proximity within centimeters and issues instant warnings to both sides.

This proactive detection ensures early response, even before visual contact is possible — significantly reducing collisions at intersections and storage aisles.

Building a Safer and Smarter Warehouse

By integrating AI vision detection and UWB positioning, WTSAFE’s warehouse pedestrian detection system provides full-range protection in warehouse operations. It not only safeguards workers but also prevents costly equipment damage and production downtime.

Whether it’s a large logistics center or a compact manufacturing warehouse, WTSAFE offers customized solutions tailored to specific layouts and working environments.

With over 25 years of experience in industrial safety, WTSAFE’s intelligent systems have been trusted by thousands of global companies to achieve zero-collision, zero-downtime operations.

Conclusion

A warehouse is only as efficient as it is safe.
WTSAFE’s warehouse pedestrian detection system empowers businesses to create a smarter, safer workplace — where forklifts and pedestrians can coexist without risk.
