Forklift Collision Avoidance
Protect your people and equipment with our advanced forklift collision avoidance solution, built for real-time awareness and operational safety.
An Intelligent Approach to Forklift Safety
Pozyx’s Forklift Collision Avoidance Solution combines ultra-wideband (UWB) technology and AI-driven detection to proactively prevent collisions. Whether you're protecting people, vehicles, or infrastructure, the system offers reliable, high-precision detection that works with or without RTLS infrastructure—adaptable to your site's unique needs.
Developed in partnership with a trusted technology provider, this solution integrates seamlessly with the Pozyx RTLS.
Universal & easy to deploy
Compatible with any forklift, regardless of brand or type. The plug-and-play system installs in under 30 minutes—no complex setup or infrastructure required.
Smart, Configurable Safety
Customize alerts, detection ranges, and speed limits through an intuitive online dashboard to fit your unique site conditions and safety policies.
Accurate, 360° Detection
Benefit from real-time awareness with 360° coverage, 15cm detection accuracy, and up to 30m range—even without RTLS. In RTLS-enabled areas, track with 10-30cm precision.
Use-cases of Forklift Collision Avoidance
Forklift Pedestrian Collision Avoidance
Protect your most valuable asset: your people. With real-time detection and alerting, the system warns both forklift drivers and pedestrians when they come dangerously close—helping prevent accidents in high-traffic or low-visibility areas. Pedestrians can be detected in two ways: by wearing a dedicated tracker, or through AI camera recognition directly connected to the forklift-mounted sensor.
- Real-time proximity alerts (audible & visual)
- Configurable distance thresholds
- Dual detection: wearable trackers or AI camera-based recognition
- Ideal for blind corners, shared zones, and dynamic environments
Forklift to Forklift Accident Prevention
Prevent costly damage and downtime by avoiding vehicle-to-vehicle collisions. The system continuously measures the direct distance between forklifts, triggering alerts when they come too close—no RTLS infrastructure required. With 360° coverage and high update rates, drivers gain enhanced awareness, even in congested or low-visibility areas.
- Direct UWB-based distance measurements between forklifts
- Real-time alerts without the need for RTLS
- 15cm accuracy with 10 updates per second
- Works in mixed-fleet environments
Zone-based Forklift Speed Control
Improve safety and compliance by automatically adjusting forklift speed based on location. Using predefined zones—such as pedestrian areas, loading docks, or narrow aisles—the system can enforce speed limits dynamically. This helps reduce the risk of accidents without relying on driver behavior alone.
- Automatically adjusts speed based on location
- Define slow zones, pedestrian-only areas, and restricted regions
- Fully configurable thresholds
- Helps enforce safety rules and reduce wear on equipment
Gate Protection
Prevent accidental impacts and protect critical infrastructure by monitoring proximity around gates, doors, and dock entries. The system detects approaching forklifts and triggers visual or audible alerts—or slows them down—before they reach restricted or sensitive zones.
- Detects forklifts approaching gates or dock doors
- Triggers configurable alerts or speed reductions
- Reduces damage to gates, doors, and access systems
- Ideal for automated door areas and high-traffic intersections
Flexible Deployments
Whether you're looking for a quick safety upgrade or a full-scale smart fleet system, our forklift collision avoidance solution adapts to your infrastructure and goals.
- No Infrastructure Required
Collision avoidance and pedestrian detection work out-of-the-box using direct UWB ranging and onboard AI—ideal for fast deployment and high-impact safety improvements. - Minimal Infrastructure for Zone Control
Zone-based speed regulation requires only a few UWB anchors to detect forklift presence in predefined areas—offering smarter control with minimal setup. - Full RTLS for Advanced Capabilities
In a fully equipped RTLS environment, unlock high-precision tracking (up to 10cm) and advanced features like real-time fleet visibility, incident replay, heatmapping, usage analytics, and workflow optimization.
