Stacy Kelly, National Sales & Marketing Manager, OEMs, SICK, Inc.: "Sensing Technology Focuses on Safety and Productivity Gains"
Topic Info:
Interested in enabling productivity gains, minimizing personnel injuries and reducing quality issues for end users who operate industrial utility trucks or mobile equipment? Intelligent sensing solutions on either existing or new trucks / equipment can give you these benefits and may be worth considering. Sensing solutions exist that detect walls, posts or even people to alert the driver of potential collisions, or even trigger vehicle stops. Leg overhang, driver-in-seat and mast tilt are also detection possibilities that would help to reduce injuries or accidents. To reduce quality issues, fork positioning and vehicle approach functions can be fully automated or just provide operator feedback to reduce damages to product or pallets. With the advancement in sensing technology and the increased levels of automation, we will discuss in this session how sensing technology can be implemented to advance the features and functionality of industrial utility trucks and other mobile equipment to better serve end users worldwide.
