Systems that track forklift speed and direction outperform UWB-only solutions. We take it further, integrating into the truck to slow or stop it, not just flash a light.

Most systems measure just one thing: the distance between two tags. But LocaXion combines forklift position, speed, direction, and predicted path with dynamic safety zones to identify genuine collision risks while reducing false alarms. Result = smarter, more trusted safety solution that protects both operators and pedestrians.
No single technology covers a real floor, so we don't sell one. We engineer the combination your risk needs, then make it act. One architecture across every forklift brand, AGVs, and AMRs, indoor and outdoor. Designed around your floor, and priced to compete.
Proximity, RTLS, and AI vision find tagged and untagged people, lifts, and vehicles.
We read each lift's position, speed, direction, and predicted path against the zones and barriers around it, so an alert means a real threat.
In-cab alarms, wearables, projectors, lights, or signals, matched to the moment.
CAN bus or third-party relays slow or stop the lift, zone logic limits speed, and doors, gates, and PLCs respond.
An off-the-shelf system gives you the one technology that manufacturer sells. It solves part of the risk, rarely the whole interaction between the person, the lift, the floor, and the process. That no single tech is enough is the entire reason we integrate.
| What it misses | LocaXion adds | |
|---|---|---|
| Blue lights & alarms | Cannot detect people, assess risk, or stop the forklift | Detects, locates, and stops the forklift — hardware-level, not just an alert |
| UWB proximity ranging | No direction, barriers, path prediction, or untagged people | Adds direction, path prediction, barrier logic, and untagged pedestrian detection |
| AI pedestrian detection | No facility-wide location, traffic logic, or process context | Fuses facility-wide RTLS, traffic rules, and process context into every decision |
| RTLS tracking alone | Needs safety rules, vehicle controls, and integration to act on data | Adds the safety rules, CAN-bus vehicle controls, and integration — turning data into action |

The right architecture depends on the floor, and because we don't sell a box, we can change it.
US automotive parts warehouse
A very narrow aisle truck and an order picker shared one handover zone, and lights alone could not keep both out at once. We built a controlled zone: when the picker enters, the VNA truck stops before the line.
They can no longer occupy it together.
40,000 lb forklift — blind load
We added AI vision for the blind area and tied it to the controls, easing engine RPM to a controlled rolling stop — hard braking a load that heavy creates a second hazard. For one client we led with UWB. Here UWB was the wrong fit, so we led with vision.
An OEM tied to its own hardware cannot make that call.
Judged on risk, not distance. Automatic intervention when the driver cannot react.
Tagged and untagged people both covered. One architecture across a mixed fleet.
Auditable near-miss and speed data to track performance.
Less injury, damage, and downtime.
Map the real risks: routes, crossings, blind corners, near misses, loads, vehicle types.
Design detection and response: where proximity, RTLS, vision, projectors, CAN bus, or relays are needed.
Pilot on live vehicles: your lifts, your floor, your conditions.
Validate detection, false-alarm rate, warning timing, stopping distance, blind-load detection.
Documented harnesses, rules, and stopping logic across the fleet.
Tune on real data: adjust zones, distances, and speed limits from recorded events.
Every brand, model, age, and fuel type. CAN bus where available, tested third-party relays and custom harnesses where the OEM restricts access.
No. Tags give precise ranging, AI vision detects untagged people front, rear, and blind-side. Many sites use both.
We weigh direction, speed, location, barriers, and predicted path before alerting, not distance alone.
Yes: limit speed, reduce RPM, or a controlled stop, designed around the vehicle's weight and stopping distance.
Only if the risk and the vehicle require it. On heavy lifts, hard braking creates a second hazard, so we design the response around weight, load, speed, and stopping distance, usually a controlled slow-down rather than a hard stop.
Yes, one architecture combining indoor RTLS, vision, proximity, and outdoor GNSS.
Critical detection and stopping run at the edge on the vehicle, so the lift stays protected without depending on a live cloud or network connection.
Selected lifts, a defined risk area, detection and stopping validated on your floor, false-alarm rates measured. Pilot fee credited to deployment.
A forklift safety system designed around your vehicles, your floor, and the way people actually move through it.
