Complete Dock & Forklift Safety Platform
An integrated AI system combining vision-based forklift hazard detection with intelligent vehicle restraint — eliminating the two leading causes of dock fatalities.
AI Forklift Pedestrian Protection
Stereo depth cameras and deep-learning models create an adaptive safety zone around every operating forklift. Pedestrians, obstacles, and other vehicles trigger automatic speed reduction and audible/visual warnings — preventing collisions before they occur.
Intelligent Vehicle Restraint System (VRS)
Vision AI verifies that trucks are correctly positioned and physically restrained before any dock operations begin. The system cross-validates restraint engagement with load sensor feedback, preventing the 'creeping truck' phenomenon responsible for 25% of all dock fatalities.
Real-Time Hazard Alert System
A graduated alerting engine ensures every hazard event triggers the appropriate response — from on-vehicle audio warnings to site-wide PA announcements and instant supervisor notifications. Every event is logged with video evidence for incident investigation.
Dock Operations Management Dashboard
Centralized visibility into all dock bays, forklift status, and safety compliance metrics. Real-time and historical data enables operations managers to optimize throughput while maintaining the highest safety standards.
How the System Works
Adaptive detection and control loops running on the edge to ensure absolute dock safety.
Active Sensing
Forklift 360° stereo depth cameras scan the vehicle's surrounding path.
Proximity Compute
Edge AI calculates safety vectors and distance bounds in real-time (<15ms).
Restraint Lock
Chassis alignment is verified, and physical wheel locks automatically engage.
Control & Lockout
Direct CAN bus commands slow the vehicle, or leveler door relays lock out.
OSHA Telemetry
All override attempts and safety triggers are archived for compliance logging.
