Forklift Collision Avoidance System
Actual deployments tell us a system that knows the forklift's speed and direction is far more effective than UWB ranging alone. We take it further, integrating into the truck to slow or stop it, not just flash a light.

Normal zone
Works with leading forklift manufacturers
Distance alone cannot identify a collision risk
Most systems measure one thing: the distance between two tags. Distance cannot tell you whether the person is behind a barrier, walking away, standing beside the aisle, hidden behind a full load, or crossing straight into the lift's path. The alarm is the same for all five. Warnings pile up, drivers lose trust, and the one that mattered gets ignored. A real risk is identified by context: the lift's position, speed, direction, and predicted path, the zones around it, and the people the driver cannot see. Built for the risks on your floor: narrow aisles, blind corners, pedestrian crossings, reversing traffic, full loads, doors and ramps, indoor and outdoor.
Narrow aisles and blind corners
Pedestrian crossings
Reversing traffic & full loads
Doors, ramps, indoor & outdoor
We don't sell a box. We integrate the whole solution.
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.
Detect
Proximity, RTLS, and AI vision find tagged and untagged people, lifts, and vehicles.
Understand
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.
Warn
In-cab alarms, wearables, projectors, lights, or signals, matched to the moment.
Control
CAN bus or third-party relays slow or stop the lift, zone logic limits speed, and doors, gates, and PLCs respond.
Why not buy an off-the-shelf OEM system?
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.

Real forklift safety projects we've built both ways
The right architecture depends on the floor, and because we don't sell a box, we can change it.
US automotive parts warehouse
VNA truck & order picker — one shared handover zone
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
Driver could not see people behind a full 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.
What changes on your floor
Fewer False Alarms
Judged on risk, not distance. Automatic intervention when the driver cannot react.
Total Coverage
Tagged and untagged people both covered. One architecture across a mixed fleet.
Data-Driven
Auditable near-miss and speed data to track performance.
Protect Margin
Less injury, damage, and downtime.
How we deliver
Map
Map the real risks: routes, crossings, blind corners, near misses, loads, vehicle types.
Design
Design detection and response: where proximity, RTLS, vision, projectors, CAN bus, or relays are needed.
Pilot
Pilot on live vehicles: your lifts, your floor, your conditions.
Validate
Validate detection, false-alarm rate, warning timing, stopping distance, blind-load detection.
Standardize & Deploy
Documented harnesses, rules, and stopping logic across the fleet.
Tune
Tune on real data: adjust zones, distances, and speed limits from recorded events.
Common questions. Clear answers.
Every brand, model, age, and fuel type. CAN bus where available, tested third-party relays and custom harnesses where the OEM restricts access.
Stop real collision risks before they become incidents.
A forklift safety system designed around your vehicles, your floor, and the way people actually move through it.
