Impacts caused by vehicles such as forklifts are sometimes perceived as minor and insignificant, and are therefore not systematically reported by operators. However, these incidents can lead to serious consequences. For example, a slight impact with shelves can compromise their stability, increasing the risk of collapse. An impact with a pallet can damage products or their packaging, making the goods unsaleable or requiring repackaging. Impacts can also damage vehicle tires, leading to premature wear and the risk of accidents. Likewise, hitting a wall can cause cracks or structural weaknesses requiring repairs.
The ‘Blaxtair Shock Detection’ solution makes impacts visible and traceable. Equipped with an inertial sensor, it detects and localizes impacts in real time and transmits critical data to “Blaxtair Connect”, a Cloud-based IoT solution. It allows each impact to be tracked, specifying their exact location, detection times, vehicles involved and the severity of the impacts. Additionally, visual evidence such as photos and video footage of the incidents are provided for in-depth analysis.
By cataloging and evaluating every impact, even the most minor ones, companies can prevent more serious problems, significantly reduce the risk of equipment damage, and improve overall safety.
Blaxtair Shock Detection provides unprecedented visibility and indicators to optimize operations and enhance the safety and reliability of vehicles and facilities. It also enables proactive management of any impact as soon as it occurs, providing increased peace of mind.
