Vecna Robotics IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) data directly impacts safety. One of the unique differentiators and critical value propositions of Vecna Robotics IIoT Monitoring includes a video feed from vehicles allowing for remote access to all vehicles and the ability to immediately address situations that are not safe. While other AGV vendors may have the data collected via sensors, it is the disruptive leadership of Vecna Robotics that determined the critical, even life-saving, need for IIoT Monitoring with all their vehicles.
OSHA statistics indicate that there are roughly 85 forklift fatalities and 34,900 serious injuries each year, with 42 percent of the forklift fatalities from the operator being crushed by a tipping vehicle. The Industrial Truck Association reports that the average life of a forklift is nine years, and there is a 90 percent chance of a serious accident over the course of its life. Seventy to 80 percent of the accidents impact pedestrians around the truck. Going fork-free immediately changes these dire and dangerous prognoses.
Plants that implement fork truck free zones, or partially fork truck free implementation, realize significantly improved safety data, lower insurance rates, fewer workers’ compensation claims.
Knowing that the operation of these vehicles and their interaction with the plant floor is monitored 24/7 by factory engineers represents a first-of-its-kind industry breakthrough in utilization of data to produce the safest and most efficient operation.
