Industrial Safety
Enhancing MHE Safety with Intelligent 360° AI — Built for Industry 5.0 Workflows
Overview
Material Handling Equipment (MHE) such as forklifts, pallet trucks, reach trucks, stackers, tuggers, and container handlers operate in the busiest, most unpredictable industrial spaces. With constant human–vehicle interaction, blind spots, narrow aisles, and dynamic movements, MHE operations remain one of the highest-risk activities inside warehouses, factories, ports, and logistics hubs. Flagman's AI-Powered MHE Safety Solution transforms traditional reactive safety into continuous 360° proactive protection, using multi-camera vision, driver intelligence, and automated intervention. By turning any MHE into a self-aware safety system, Flagman ensures accident prevention, operational discipline, and Industry 5.0–aligned human–machine collaboration.
The Challenge
MHE accidents are consistently ranked among the top causes of injuries and fatalities in industrial operations. Key risks include:
Key Challenges
- Tight aisles and obstructed visibility
- Blind spots on all four sides of the vehicle
- Mixed pedestrian–vehicle zones
- Operator fatigue, distraction, and high-speed movement
- Low-light, dusty, or outdoor conditions reducing visibility
Flagman Solution
Flagman creates a full 360° virtual safety shield around any MHE using a multi-camera AI architecture, driver monitoring, and machine-control integration. The system continuously analyses the surroundings and driver behavior, issuing real-time warnings and automatically triggering slowdown or stop when a person or obstacle enters a danger zone. Flagman seamlessly integrates with vehicle control logic (via PLC, CAN, or relay), enabling zero-blind-spot safety even in the harshest industrial conditions.
