Warehouse safety: Comprehensive guide to forklift and pedestrian safety 2.0
Application scenario display
Warehouses in different industries have different operating systems due to their different products and operation scales. Therefore, their security vulnerabilities and requirements are also different.

1.In fast-moving consumer goods warehouses with limited lighting
Problem analysis
Fast-moving consumer goods warehouses usually store a large number of goods with a fast turnover rate. In addition, insufficient lighting can easily lead to limited vision for forklift drivers and increase the risk of collision with pedestrians.

Implementation strategy

Enhance the lighting system: Install high-efficiency LED lamps and optimize the layout to ensure that there is sufficient lighting in every corner of the warehouse. Consider using smart sensing systems to automatically adjust the brightness of light according to the activities of people and vehicles.
Use reflective signs: Set up obvious reflective signs for forklifts, shelf edges and pedestrian passages to improve visibility in low-light environments.
Warehouse projection warning system: Deploy projection warning systems at warehouse entrances and exits and high-traffic areas to instantly notify pedestrians of the approach of forklifts through bright red warning beams projected on the ground, effectively preventing collision accidents. At the same time, the system integrates holographic image technology to intuitively display the "stop" or "attention" signal, providing pedestrians with dual visual protection.

2.Blind spots in paper and packaging warehouses
Problem analysis
The paper and packaging industry has long production lines, complex equipment, and a large number of blind spots. Forklift drivers cannot see obstacles on the road or nearby pedestrians
Implementation strategy
Pedestrian collision avoidance system: For warehouse areas with complex equipment and limited vision, UWB sensors accurately monitor the distance between forklifts and pedestrians. In the event of close contact, an immediate alarm reminds both parties to pay attention. Pedestrians take preventive measures after receiving an early warning. At the same time, the forklift automatically slows down to the safe speed limit and decelerates in two stages to ensure safety.

Optimize warehouse layout and traffic flow design: According to the actual situation and operation process of the warehouse, re-plan the layout of shelves, passages, and entrances and exits to minimize the existence of blind spots. Set up obvious warning signs and reflective strips in blind spots to remind forklift drivers and pedestrians to pay attention.

3.Busy intersections and narrow corridors in manufacturing plants
Problem analysis
Busy intersections and narrow corridors in manufacturing plants are high-incidence areas for forklift and pedestrian accidents. Due to limited space and obstructed vision, collision accidents are prone to occur.
Implementation strategy

AI collision avoidance system: Through cameras and image recognition technology, it can capture and accurately identify pedestrians in real time. Once a potential collision risk between a forklift and a pedestrian is detected, a warning signal is sent to the forklift driver through various means such as sound, light or display. For some forklifts with integrated autonomous driving or assisted driving functions, the braking system can also be automatically activated in an emergency to avoid pedestrians.
Set up physical isolation: Install physical isolation facilities such as barriers and warning tapes at busy intersections and narrow corridors to clearly divide forklift driving areas and pedestrian passages.
Traffic lights: By placing traffic lights on the paths commonly used by forklifts and pedestrians, traffic within the facility can be controlled. This solution is useful for warehouses with a large number of pedestrians and forklifts and crowded intersections to prevent collisions or near collisions between vehicles and pedestrians.
Speed limit devices: Set speed limits at entrances and exits or in key areas to ensure that the forklift travels within a safe range.
