Partnering to power up forklift safety: Seen Safety and Fleet iQ360
You don't have to spend much time on a busy warehouse floor to realize the risk forklifts pose to operators, pedestrians, and businesses. With the widespread use of forklifts in many industries, it only makes sense for responsible companies to take measures to mitigate the risk and maintain a safe work environment. One way to protect against costly accidents and liability is to implement multiple layers of effective safety measures directed and supported by data provided by the latest safety technology.
It is for this reason that Seen Safety is teaming up with Fleet iQ360 by Collective Intelligence Group to take forklift safety to the next level. Together, these systems not only minimize risk, but also provide businesses with valuable insights into the effectiveness of their current safety protocols, identify areas for improvement, and measure the ongoing return on investment of preventing accidents and injuries. Individually, these tools are powerful, but when combined, they offer unparalleled capabilities in forklift safety.
Active forklift safety systems
Active forklift safety systems, which aim to prevent an accident from ever occurring, offer protection for operators as well as pedestrians and company property. SEEN’s system complements the protection provided by existing passive systems by alerting both operators and pedestrians to imminent risk. In doing so it collects data and evidence to help identify areas of greatest danger and target improvements in safety policies and practices to where it is most needed.
Using telematics to improve forklift safety
Many companies rely on mobile equipment; however, tracking and managing that equipment effectively can be challenging. As a result, more and more companies are adopting telematics to reduce costs, improve safety, and manage their fleets as effectively as possible. Those that do are finding they can focus their attention on improving safety measures in specific locations and training and supporting workers in those environments.
Fleet iQ360 telematics system from Collective Intelligence Group gathers real-time information on trucks, operators, and the interactions between those in the working environment. The Fleet iQ360 system enhances workplace safety through features including pre-operational checklists, impact detection, unique log in for driver accountability and vehicle lockdown controls. Fleet data can identify those drivers who need additional training and support in order to ensure a safer workplace, electronic pre-operational checklists and certification record management increase efficiency, thus saving businesses time and money.
Complimentary systems
SEEN's safety system compliments your telematics system by providing evidence of and context around detections. The SEEN safety sensor detects hi-vis PPE worn by employees and audibly alerts operators to their presence, turning your existing PPE into part of an active workplace safety system. When combined with SEEN Insight - our data analytics app and IoT camera - the system provides simple, effective, affordable pedestrian detection that prevents accidents and injuries while providing visibility and context around detection events.
The Fleet iQ360 system integrates the SEEN safety detections and displays them in a Pedestrian Detection Report so you know how many near misses your drivers have and can make proper adjustments to the environment or with driver awareness and training to mitigate the risk when forklifts and people are in close proximity.
Data is the driving force behind progress and innovation, we are excited about the partnership between SEEN Safety and Fleet iQ360 by Collective Intelligence Group. Contact us to learn more about how SEEN Safety and Fleet iQ360 can help you improve workplace safety.
