AI Camera Forklift Light Application Case: Safety Upgrade

Introduction
A large logistics warehouse facility is a busy environment with frequent forklift operations and heavy loads. Due to the high traffic volume and complex layout, ensuring worker safety and smooth operations are always the top priority. The implementation of Wetech's AI Camera Forklift Light (model WT-102060-R1) has brought about a significant change.

Pre-installation Challenges
Before installing the AI Camera Forklift Light, the warehouse faced several safety issues. Forklift operators often encountered blind spots, resulting in near accidents and sometimes even minor collisions. Pedestrians who need to move around the warehouse to perform tasks such as inventory counting and order picking are also at risk of being accidentally hit by forklifts. In addition, the lack of real-time monitoring and alarm systems means that potential hazards cannot be detected and handled in time.

Installation and Setup
The installation process of the AI Camera Forklift Light is relatively simple. Wetech's technical team worked closely with experts to install the camera and warning light on the forklift. The camera's mounting position was carefully designed to cover the forklift's blind spot, while the warning light was installed in a conspicuous location. The system is then integrated with the forklift’s power source and connected to the central monitoring unit in the warehouse control room.

Operational Benefits

Improved Operator Visibility
The AI camera provides forklift operators with a clear view, especially in blind spot areas. High-resolution images and real-time video transmission enable operators to detect obstacles, workers or other forklifts in their path in advance. For example, when a pedestrian worker enters the forklift’s blind spot while walking in the aisle, the camera immediately detects this movement and alerts the operator. This enables the operator to slow down or stop the forklift, thus preventing a potential accident.

Enhanced Pedestrian Safety
The orange warning light and red laser line emitted by the system clearly send out visual signals to alert pedestrian workers that a forklift is approaching. Workers can easily identify the direction and distance of the forklift, giving them enough time to move to a safe position. During a busy inventory period, when multiple forklifts and workers are operating in the same area, the warning lights and laser lines help create a safety buffer zone, significantly reducing the risk of collision.

Real-time Monitoring and Data Analysis
The central monitoring unit in the control room continuously receives data from the AI camera forklift lights. Warehouse managers can monitor forklift operations in real time, identify high-risk areas for accidents, and take proactive measures. For example, by analyzing the data, they found that near misses frequently occurred at a certain intersection in the warehouse. Based on this, they adjusted the traffic flow in the area and added safety signs.

Results and Impact
Since the installation of the AI Camera Forklift Light, the safety situation in the warehouse has improved significantly. The number of near miss incidents has been greatly reduced, and there has never been a major forklift-related accident. Workers feel more confident and safe in their work environment, which also improves productivity. Thanks to the valuable data provided by the system, warehouse managers are now able to better manage safety risks.

Conclusion
The application of Wetech AI Camera Forklift Light in warehouses is a great example of how advanced technology can revolutionize workplace safety in industrial environments. By solving key challenges related to forklift operations, this innovative system not only ensures the safety of workers, but also optimizes the overall efficiency of the warehouse. Other warehouses and industrial facilities can draw inspiration from this success story and consider implementing similar AI-based safety solutions to create a safer and more efficient work environment.
