In the wave of booming development of new energy vehicles, automotive parts enterprises are facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges. With the rapid increase in demand for automotive parts in the market, efficient, precise, and cost-effective warehousing management and logistics distribution have become the key to enterprise development. As the core force in the logistics process, the safe operation of forklifts is of utmost importance.
The logistics safety pain points of automotive parts enterprises are significant. The frequent movement of personnel in the factory and the serious mixing of people and vehicles pose a high risk of collision during forklift operations. There are significant blind spots in forklift operations in the factory, especially when handling large electronic equipment packaging boxes, making it difficult for drivers to observe the surrounding situation. Further exacerbating the risk factor.
Meanwhile, due to the need for forklifts to transport various precision automotive components, accidents can not only cause personal injury but also result in expensive component damage. Moreover, some experienced drivers with weak safety awareness often exceed the speed limit and ignore potential risks.
Faced with these severe challenges, automotive parts companies should introduce a comprehensive and professional forklift safety solution to ensure that forklift operations operate efficiently while achieving zero accident risks, laying a solid foundation for the stable operation and sustainable development of the company's logistics supply chain.
1. Intelligent collision avoidance system
Install an AI collision warning system for forklifts to address the challenges of large blind spots in forklift operations and the risk of collisions between pedestrians and vehicles. The high-definition camera surrounding the vehicle captures the surrounding dynamics in real time, accurately identifies personnel approaching the vehicle in real time, and the in car display screen immediately pops up for warning. The synchronized sound and light alarm reminds the driver to brake in a timely manner.
More forward-looking is that it can intelligently control speed based on distance, decisively brake and stop in critical moments, and nip potential collisions in the bud. It's like equipping forklifts with "sharp eyes" and "intelligent brains". Moreover, the system has a driving record function that can be replayed at any time, facilitating accident tracing and analysis, and providing strong basis for enterprise safety management.
2. Driver behavior monitoring
Considering the issues of fatigue driving and frequent speeding among forklift drivers, the collision avoidance system can be equipped with functions such as permission management and DMS driver behavior monitoring.
Before starting work, drivers need to verify their driving permissions through facial/fingerprint recognition, card swiping, QR code scanning, and other methods. Unauthorized personnel should "look at the car and sigh" to prevent unauthorized personnel from operating, and to build a strong safety line from the source.
The problem of difficult to detect and warn drivers of violations such as smoking, making phone calls, fatigue driving, not wearing helmets, and not wearing seat belts during driving will also be solved one by one.
Meanwhile, once the driver exceeds the speed limit, the system automatically decelerates and issues a warning. This can not only effectively reduce collision accidents caused by excessive speed, but also reduce vehicle wear and tear, extend the service life of forklifts, and improve the overall stability of logistics operations.
3. Enhance perception and warning
Given the noisy workshop environment and the difficulty for pedestrians and forklifts to detect each other, anti-collision base stations are installed at key locations with large blind spots, such as workshop/warehouse entrances, in conjunction with labels on forklifts. When forklifts pass by, an alarm is automatically triggered, effectively avoiding collision accidents.
At the same time, clear warning signs and light prompts should be set up in areas where pedestrians frequently appear, reminding pedestrians to pay attention to forklift operations and achieve harmonious coexistence and collaborative work between forklifts and pedestrians. Equipped with forklift specific boundary lights, whether it is day or night, the bright light clearly outlines the outline of the forklift body and the operating range, reminding surrounding people and vehicles to maintain a safe distance and avoid collision risks.
4. Strengthen training and management
In addition to advanced technology and equipment, professional training and management are also important guarantees for forklift safety. Provide regular safety training courses for forklift drivers, including safety regulations, operating procedures, accident case analysis, etc., to strengthen drivers' safety awareness and correct bad operating habits.
Establish a comprehensive forklift usage management system, clarify the responsibilities and authorities of drivers, and take serious measures against violations of operating regulations. By combining technology and management, we aim to build a forklift operation team with high safety awareness and strong operational skills.
It should be noted that the traditional paper-based management model is difficult to form integrated, data-driven, and visualized management, which affects the overall informationization transformation of enterprises. Enterprises should make good use of forklift management platform cloud data, conduct in-depth analysis, optimize strategies, standardize vehicle and driver management, and improve management efficiency.
In the logistics battlefield of automotive parts enterprises, forklift safety is an indispensable battle. By adopting the complete set of forklift safety solutions mentioned above, we will bid farewell to the worrying safety hazards of the past and embark on a new era of comprehensive protection for the safe operation and efficient operation of forklifts in automotive parts enterprises. The enterprise will also enter the fast lane of development.
