In modern warehouse and industrial logistics scenarios, mixed operations of electric forklifts and on-foot pedestrians are very common, which brings hidden risks of accidental collisions. Most enterprises have installed dedicated fork truck pedestrian safety systems on their electric forklifts, but quite a number of operators have not fully tapped the functional value of such systems, leading to unneglected safety loopholes in daily operations.

The first core measure to get more from the safety system is to complete regular inspection and calibration of the system hardware on a fixed cycle. Operators need to check the outer protection of the sensing modules regularly to avoid covering, collision damage or dust accumulation that may reduce the detection accuracy. It is not allowed to disassemble or shield the alarm module without permission, and professional technicians should be arranged to complete parameter calibration every quarter to make sure the system can identify pedestrians within the effective preset range stably.

The second key point is to combine the system function with standardized operation training for forklift drivers. Relying on the safety system completely instead of following basic operation specifications will increase hidden risks virtually. Enterprises can integrate the system alarm response process into daily driver training, requiring drivers to slow down and check the surrounding situation immediately once they receive the system prompt, instead of continuing to move after turning down the alarm volume.

Thirdly, enterprises can adjust the system operation parameters according to different working scenarios to fit actual operation demands. For narrow aisles with frequent pedestrian passing and picking areas with high personnel density, users can appropriately increase the detection sensitivity and extend the pre-alarm distance. For open outdoor operation areas with few pedestrians, the parameters can be adjusted properly to avoid frequent false alarms that affect operation efficiency. Besides, you can export the system operation log regularly, count the high-frequency areas where alarms are triggered, and add obvious ground marking or physical isolation facilities in these areas to separate pedestrian and forklift moving routes, so as to further upgrade the overall safety level of the whole site.
