Powerfleet has launched Pedestrian Proximity Detection, an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered safety system that proactively prevents accidents, bolsters pedestrian safety, and mitigates damage to material handling equipment (MHE) within warehouses and manufacturing facilities. Using AI-led object detection, the solution identifies people and MHE in its path, provides visual and audio alerts of potential hazards, and fosters an enhanced safety culture.
The Pedestrian Proximity Detection features capabilities such as triggering speed and access control, detection of high-risk areas by identifying near-miss events and driver coaching.
The solution includes up to three vehicle-powered cameras equipped with embedded AI to identify objects in the vicinity of the vehicle. It also features front and rear indicator lights that emit audible and visual warnings when objects breach the vehicle path.
A central wiring box powers the cameras and connects inputs and outputs for zone detection, and when linked to Powerfleet's Forklift Gateway (VAC), camera outputs capture specific event details like breach location, time and driver identification for a more in-depth analysis of events.
