We have a system inside our plant that acts as a safety for all motorised equipment.
We have seven large forklifts and five smaller ones. Each has a bluetooth transmitter. There are also lots of million dollar machines that we don’t want anyone smashing into. A vehicle asset control system monitors the location of all motorised equipment at all times. The system stops them from going in off-limits areas.
It can slow them down (turtle mode) in high risk areas.
If the machine senses an impact it is locked. An employee cannot hit something and drive away - this is a real problem in warehouses and places like Lowe’s, Costco or Home Depot.
These are things that could be done in urban areas.
If a car hits 100kph it gets shut down.
If it goes on a sidewalk it gets shut down.
