AI Camera Solution for Forklift Speed Monitoring in Factories
The AI Camera solution enables businesses to automatically monitor forklift speeds in designated speed-limit zones within factories and warehouses. The system combines IP cameras with AI to measure forklift speed in real time, automatically detect speeding vehicles, trigger on-site alerts, and send incident data to the central management system. This helps reduce accident risks while promoting a stronger workplace safety culture.
CUSTOMER OVERVIEW
The customer is a manufacturing company that operates a large fleet of forklifts to continuously transport raw materials and finished goods between production areas, warehouses, and shipping/receiving zones.
During daily operations, different internal routes have different speed limits depending on their risk levels. However, speed control relies primarily on traffic signs and driver awareness, making continuous enforcement difficult.
This is especially critical at intersections, blind corners, narrow aisles, warehouse entrances, and pedestrian crossings, where even a slight increase in forklift speed can significantly raise the risk of collisions, potentially affecting workers, goods, and equipment.
SOLUTION – EYEFIRE SAFETY
The company deployed the EYEFIRE AI Camera forklift speed monitoring system at locations where speed limits are enforced.
AI cameras are installed at fixed positions to monitor the designated areas. The AI automatically detects forklifts, calculates their travel speed as they pass through the measurement zone, and compares the speed against the predefined threshold configured for each location.
When a forklift exceeds the speed limit, the system immediately activates on-site alerts through warning lights, sirens, or LED display boards to remind the driver to slow down. At the same time, the incident is sent to the central management system together with captured images and violation timestamps for reporting, analysis, and future investigation.
SOLUTION HIGHLIGHTS
- AI automatically measures forklift speed in real time.
- Configurable speed limits for each monitoring zone.
- Instant alerts via warning lights, sirens, or LED display boards.
- Stores violation images and related information for investigation.
- Dashboard for monitoring and reporting speeding incidents.
- Operates 24/7 under various lighting conditions.
- No devices need to be installed on forklifts.
- Easily scalable to multiple monitoring locations throughout the factory.
SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE
HOW IT WORKS
AI Camera monitors a designated speed-limit zone
AI detects forklifts and tracks their movement.
The system calculates vehicle speed in real time.
The measured speed is compared with the configured speed limit for that area.
If a forklift exceeds the speed limit, an instant alert is triggered.
The incident is recorded and sent to the central management system.
OUTCOMES
continuous forklift speed monitoring in critical areas throughout the factory
of speeding violations are detected and alerted in real time
reduction in the risk of near-miss incidents at intersections, narrow aisles, and warehouse entrances.
KEY OUTCOMES
- Reduced accident risks at intersections and blind corners
- Helped drivers comply with speed regulations
- Immediate alerts whenever speeding violations occur
- Increased monitoring capability without requiring dedicated personnel
- Easy compliance reporting and performance evaluation by area
- Supports incident investigation and root cause analysis
