In modern warehouse and logistics operation sites, mixed operation of forklifts and on-foot pedestrians is a common scenario, and hidden safety risks in such scenarios have always been a core concern of operation management teams. Before selecting and deploying any forklift pedestrian safety solution, it is necessary to sort out targeted evaluation questions to avoid mismatched functions, unnecessary cost waste and hidden safety loopholes.

First, you need to confirm the scenario adaptability of the safety solution. You can ask the relevant service provider whether the solution can be adjusted according to the actual conditions of your site, including different channel widths, different cargo stacking heights, and different peak operation flow levels. It is also necessary to confirm whether the solution will generate frequent false alarms when there are static obstacles such as stacked goods and temporary placement of pallets on the site, so as not to interfere with the normal operation rhythm of forklift drivers.

Second, confirm the compatibility between the safety solution and the existing electric forklift fleet. You can ask whether the access and installation of the solution will modify the original core operation logic of the electric forklift, and whether it will affect the normal load capacity, driving speed control and other conventional performance of the vehicle. It is also advisable to confirm the response delay of the linkage action between the safety judgment system and the forklift control system, to ensure that the early warning and intervention actions can be completed in a reasonable and safe range without causing sudden unexpected shutdown that brings new operation risks.

Third, ask about the use threshold and subsequent operation cost of the solution. Confirm whether the on-site forklift drivers and pedestrian personnel can master the relevant operation and matching rules after short-term training, without increasing extra learning burden for frontline personnel. You also need to know the regular maintenance, calibration and component replacement cost of the solution in the full life cycle, to make a reasonable long-term operation budget arrangement.

Fourth, confirm the data record and traceability function of the solution. Ask whether the system can automatically record the information of near-miss events and effective warning events, to provide reference data for the site safety management team to carry out regular safety training, hidden danger troubleshooting and compliance inspection work.
