CAM-254

Only a white line separates the pedestrian from the forklift

A worker in a white hard hat and safety vest walks along the edge of the pedestrian aisle painted green, the walking-figure marking behind him. To his right, in the vehicle lane, a counterbalance forklift comes forward with a tall pallet of boxes. All that lies between them is the white line on the floor. The driver has the pallet in front of him and can’t see what’s on the other side. Another truck is moving in the background.

The rule

You decide once. IRIS applies it always.

a forklift and a person are in the same stretch of aisle at the same time

Then

raise an alert for the shift supervisor
save the video of the whole encounter
add the encounter to the count for that stretch, by hour and by day

The instruction that set it up«Tell me when a forklift and a person are in the same stretch of aisle at once, and count how often it happens each day.»

What changes

What changes for whoever answers for the plant

Between the pedestrian aisle and the forklift lane there’s nothing but a painted line, and the tall pallet hides exactly the piece of floor the person is walking on: by the time the driver sees her, she is already in front of him. IRIS alerts when a person and a vehicle share a stretch, and it also counts how often it happens. With that figure the manager can change the route, fit a mirror or move the replenishment slot. Nobody has to wait for an accident report to find out.

What people usually ask

Does IRIS measure the distance between the person and the forklift?

It works with zones, not with loose measurements. The stretch is drawn on the image and IRIS alerts when a person and a vehicle are inside it at the same time. It’s repeatable because the zone is drawn over the real floor and doesn’t move.

Is the encounter count good enough to compare months?

Yes. Encounters are always counted with the same drawn zone and the same camera, so March can sit next to April. Change the zone and you change the series: that’s why it is left fixed and documented.

Can it tell a forklift from a pallet jack or an AGV?

Yes, if they look different in the image. The rule is tuned with video from that same warehouse, not with examples from somewhere else. What IRIS doesn’t do is read the vehicle number or know who is driving: it detects the type of vehicle, not the person.
