Forklift Impact Tracking: The Data and Their Application

There is little written about forklift impact tracking. There’s plenty out there on forklift impacts, or the forklift sensors, but nothing on forklift impact tracking. It’s great to have the hardware to monitor, but what about the actual capturing of data and what it can mean and accomplish for your manufacturing plant or warehouse facility? Let’s discuss the application of the data. This will help you get started, as many of our customers have some amazing ideas and ways, they have been able to utilize the data and apply it to their facility. Let’s start by talking a bit about forklift impact tracking.

What is Forklift Impact Tracking?

Forklift impact tracking is the ability for smart technologies to capture the sensitivities of various level or G-Force, or impacts, and intelligently categorize the forklift impacts so the data can be analyzed and applied to solve real-life problems.

Forklift Impacts with G-Force Settings

To be able to understand what needs to be tracked and how you want to receive the information, first define the G-Force. G-Force is the force of the impact whether it be equipment to equipment, or equipment to facility (such as racking). The level of G-Force impact can define the level of damage received.

For SIERA.AI’s telemetry Dashboard, you are able to set the G-Force for your own facility. Based on the G-Force that will define your low, medium and high forklift impact tracking. In the Dashboard, you can set and change at any time, what your definition of G-Force is based for low, medium and high. If/when an impact occurs, the system will immediately identify the impact, send out a notification, and track the impact. This all occurs simultaneously within less than a second.

Forklift Impact Tracking Shown

You have the forklift impacts set. You know what force will be low, medium and high. Now it’s time to put it to work and do some forklift impact tracking. As the forklift goes about its day, the forklift safety system is automatically capturing and categorizing the impacts. The information is, in real-time, reporting the information onto the telemetry Dashboard.

Resembling a stock ticker tape, key data scrolls across the screen including the total of the low, medium and high impacts. But also scrolling are the number of pass forklift inspections and failed forklift inspections. Again, key information.

You can click on the low, medium and high to go in more depth what that means. For instance, customize the dates, find out which forklift(s) are having the most impacts, who’s driving etc.

In addition, if a driver comes to you and says, “It wasn’t me!” The forklift safety system (if you turn the toggle to on) have the camera take a picture of who was driving during the time of impact. There’s no disputing the picture with a date and time stamp.

Safety Compliance Checklist - SIERA.AI

Safety Compliance Checklist

How Far Does Your Safety Compliance Checklist Go?

Managing a safety compliance checklist is vital for OSHA and avoiding any penalties. There are many safety compliance checklists that your company needs to follow especially if you are in the manufacturing, warehouse and / or distribution center industry. These areas can include fire safety, HVAC safety or even the ever popular forklift safety. In this article, we’ll discuss the safety compliance checklist as it pertains to forklifts, pallet jacks or lift trucks in general.

What is a Safety Compliance Checklist?

A safety compliance checklist are the vital questions asked each day or shift that is pertinent to the health of the machine as well as the safe operation. These questions can the suggestions offered by OSHA and it can also include your own questions that are vital to keeping the lift trucks in top working order. The checklist is compiled and can be printed out and placed on a clipboard, made into a booklet or better yet, used digitally so all of the information answered can be captured and saved in the real-time, online telemetry Dashboard.

The Digital Checklist

The digital checklist is stored in the forklift safety system’s telemetry Dashboard. Here you can upload and edit, or enter all of the question yourself. You can further edit, add, delete any of the forklift questions to ensure the questions you want to ask are the most current and vital to your operation.

Because the SIERA.AI forklift safety system’s telemetry Dashboard is online, you will be able to get the data anytime you need for analysis. In the Dashboard, you can check for any failures and also know who was operating the forklift during that day / time. If any issues occur, you will be immediately notified after the problem happened. Track the health of all your assets as well as if an asset is being overused. Maintenance can then check on the health of the assets to ensure problems are anticipated and taken care of before any downtime occurs.

Impact Detection

Even though this is about a safety compliance checklist, impact detection does play a part. That’s why impact detection on a forklift is part of the overall forklift safety system. The forklift safety system will track any impacts that occur even if it’s a low, medium or high impact. You get to choose how you want to determine an impact. Remember the telemetry Dashboard we just spoke about? The G-Force setting is located in the Dashboard where you can set the G-Force and be notified when an impact with that force occurs. The immediate notification allows you to go immediately to that location and view the results of the impact prior to the scene being altered in any way.

Impact Detection Tracking

Once an impact occurs, whether it be low, medium or high, the results go in real-time into the telemetry Dashboard. Now you can track in a single location how many low, medium and high impacts occurred during any given time. If you view something of potential concern, look further and analyze if it is a particular asset that is causing the issue or does further training need to occur as the impacts include a particular forklift operator or operators.

Take a Picture!

One other aspect to the SIERA.AI forklift safety system, is the ability to take a picture. The picture can be of the forklift operator so you know ‘who’ was driving at the time. We all know how many operators like to say, ‘it wasn’t me’. This may or may not be true, but now you will know. This is vital so you can take action such as tailored training to avoid having the same incident happen again.
