Forklift Collision Prevention in High-Traffic Industrial Sites
Forklift Collision Prevention in High-Traffic Industrial Sites
Overview
Industry: Manufacturing, Warehousing, Logistics
Region: Southeast Asia (Singapore, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand)
Use Case: Forklift Collision Prevention
Technology Used: Ultra-Wideband (UWB), AI-Based Proximity Detection
Deployed Devices: Operator Wristbands, Driver Tags, Vehicle Sirens
Deployment Scale: 500–1,000 units per order
Client: Industrial Safety Providers & Regional Distributors
The Challenge
Forklift-related incidents are one of the top causes of injury in warehouses and factories across Southeast Asia. The contributing factors include:
- High forklift and pedestrian traffic
- Limited visibility in dynamic work zones
- Manual safety enforcement
- Lack of real-time alerts for near-miss situations
“We needed a system that would protect both our drivers and floor staff — without slowing down our operations.”
The Solution:
Browan’s Vehicle Collision Prevention System
Browan deployed its AI-powered collision prevention system, using Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology for centimeter-level proximity detection between forklifts and workers.
Core Devices:
- Vehicle Siren — mounted on forklifts to trigger audio/visual alerts
- Operator Wristband — worn by pedestrians to detect proximity risks
- Driver Tag — enables mode switching and speed/safety compliance features
The system detects and prevents collisions between forklifts, workers, and static obstacles by issuing real-time alerts and enforcing automated safety protocols.
