ELOfusion Forklift Fleet & Collision Safety Management

by ELOKON

Impact sensors, UWB collision detection and RFID driver access on forklifts trigger creep-speed or lockout responses and give safety managers near-miss and utilization history by truck.

The challenge

What operators are up against

Forklift fleets and warehouse floors depend on driver behavior and pedestrian traffic that change constantly between scheduled safety audits. Near-misses, impacts, and unsafe operating patterns may emerge without a clear indication of which truck, zone, or shift needs attention. Safety and fleet managers often rely on paper checklists and disconnected incident reports, making it hard to compare current conditions with normal operation. This delays response and increases the chance of collisions, equipment damage, injury, and compliance exposure.

The solution

How ELOfusion Forklift Fleet & Collision Safety Management addresses it

ELOfusion collects impact, collision-risk, and utilization signals across forklift fleets and pedestrian zones and sends the readings to a secure cloud application. Dashboards and configurable rules show driver access compliance, near-miss frequency, and equipment health, retaining history by site, zone, or truck. This gives safety and fleet managers the context to intervene before an incident escalates, helping them reduce collisions and downtime and document the response.

How it works

1. Android-based ELOfleet units and ELOshield/ELOprotect collision sensors are mounted on forklifts, OEM-agnostic and requiring no truck modification. 2. Devices detect driver ID/RFID login, pre-shift checklist completion, impact severity, and pedestrian proximity, transmitting data over the mounted unit's Wi-Fi/cellular connection to ELOKON's cloud platform. 3. The dashboard compares impact events, near-misses, and utilization against site norms by truck, zone, or shift. 4. Configurable responses (creep-speed, lockout, alert) trigger automatically when thresholds are breached. 5. Safety and fleet managers review trends and dispatch maintenance or coaching, with all events logged for compliance.

SenseMEMS impact sensors, UWB/laser collision sensors, and RFID driver-ID readers installed on forklifts and pedestrian zones capture impact events, proximity alerts, and driver access data.
ConnectReadings move over the in-cab Android unit's Wi-Fi and BLE connections to a secure cloud application. No dedicated site infrastructure is required.
AnalyzeDashboards compare impact severity, near-miss frequency, and fleet utilization across sites, zones, or trucks and flag threshold breaches or abnormal changes.
ActAlerts and automated responses (creep speed, lockout, mandatory checklist) provide the context to intervene immediately, helping fleet and safety managers reduce collisions and downtime.
