Safeguarding safety with AI, dairy industry ushered in a big upgrade of forklift handling!

With the continuous development of economy, people’s demand for green and healthy food is increasing, and the output of dairy products is increasing. Statistics show that from January to November 2021, the output of dairy products in China reached 27.506 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 9.3%.

At present, China’s dairy industry started late, started at a low level, and developed rapidly. In recent years, the state has successively issued a number of policies to encourage the development and innovation of the dairy industry. A series of industrial policies such as the Action Plan for Improving the Quality and Safety of Dairy Products have provided a good production and operation environment for the development of the dairy industry.

In dairy factories, forklifts are often used to carry boxed milk or other raw materials. There will be workers coming and going in the workshop, as well as other vehicles working. So how can we better improve the handling safety and management efficiency, and improve the happiness index of employees?

Based on over 30 years of chip-level R&D experience and over 6,000 international leading patented technologies, VIA has launched VIA Mobile360 AI forklift safety kit in recent years, and cooperated with various factories. In early 2021, there have been successful cases in dairy industry. Aiming at the pain point of forklift truck handling in the factory area, focusing on "worker safety", the handling safety of dairy factory area and the efficiency of intelligent fleet management are significantly improved.

This customer is one of the leading enterprises in the dairy industry, with a complete range of dairy products, and many of its products have long been in the leading position in the market, and have achieved the industrial layout in developed dairy regions such as Asia, Europe, America and Oceania.

Pain points of traditional dairy factory handling

1. There are many goods in the warehouse, the space is relatively narrow, and there are many blind spots, so it is necessary to improve driving safety.

2. There are workers walking back and forth in the handling area, so it is necessary to improve the safety of warehouse staff.

3. It is necessary to monitor the fatigue driving condition and improve the safety management of forklifts.

4. For security inspection and spot check, it is necessary to improve the supervision, accident tracing and management effectiveness.

Reasons for selection and landing results

Focus on AI technology to improve forklift safety and management effectiveness, and use VIA pedestrian detection and warning system and DMS driver monitoring technology to improve driver safety and warehouse worker safety. It is convenient for fleet managers to monitor, secure and analyze forklift driving data, and help forklift fleet successfully carry out intelligent transformation and upgrading. At present, customers have placed orders in batches, and the feedback is good. It is expected that there will be more in-depth cooperation in the future.

Experience of adding AI forklift safety kit

The customer added VIA AI forklift safety kit, and after using it for 3 months, he said, "We were initially optimistic about VIA’s deep accumulation in the field of science and technology, VIA’s powerful edge AI and multi-sensor fusion technology. In the process of practical application, we found that AI forklift safety kit can get twice the result with half the effort when it is applied to the safe driving and management of forklifts. When artificial intelligence is put into practice in fleet management, the benefits of transformation and upgrading are amazing. Forklift equipped with AI forklift safety system has become safer, more efficient and more convenient in handling, and now it has become our "comrade-in-arms" and "good helper"! "

Wei Mobile360 AI forklift safety kit is based on advanced AI edge algorithm, which seamlessly connects AI pedestrian detection and warning, driver behavior management and cloud management, and can provide efficient and safe handling and fleet management solutions for dairy factories. The kit has a complete out-of-the-box solution, which is suitable for all kinds of mainstream internal combustion forklifts and electric forklifts, and can be flexibly customized according to the user’s needs. In the future, VIA will gradually add functions such as speed and reversing detection sensors, which will help the forklift handling transformation and upgrading in dairy industry and even more industries!
