Forklift telematics is a management system that monitors the performance, location, and operator behaviors of forklifts. This technology enhances operational efficiency, ensures job safety, predicts maintenance needs, and reduces costs.
This article emphasizes the transformative role of digital technologies, especially RFID and RTLS, in the automotive industry's production processes. These technologies address the critical challenges of reducing manual processes and enhancing automation. RFID and RTLS solutions offer real-time tracking, transparency, and accuracy in managing materials and vehicles, leading to significant improvements in efficiency and productivity.
In today's rapidly evolving industrial landscape, companies face increasing pressure to enhance operational efficiency, ensure safety, and adhere to stringent environmental regulations. Here’s why companies need RTLS and IoT technologies and how these innovations contribute to sustainability and compliance with environmental mandates.
In recent times, warehouse and supply chain management has become increasingly complex and fast-paced. As a result, businesses are looking to manage and analyze real-time data from various systems efficiently. To achieve this goal, the integration of artificial intelligence using RTLS-based technology has made operations faster, more efficient, and predictable.
RF fingerprinting, devices are used in areas such as identity authentication, security, and precise location tracking. To create an RF fingerprint, unique identification parameters of a device rely on a set of features associated with the device's RF signals.
The Safezone EDGE Forklift Safety System goes beyond traditional 360° safety systems, offering an innovative solution with angular proximity and direction-sensing capabilities. These advanced algorithms enhance workplace safety by minimizing collision risks and boosting operational efficiency. This ensures not only the safety of employees but also more efficient and uninterrupted forklift operations.
RTLS technology enhances safety and efficiency in the oil & gas industry. It enables real-time location tracking, monitoring of hazardous zones, and efficient equipment management. EagleEye, developed by Cisco and Wipelot, is a robust RTLS solution for challenging industrial conditions, optimizing safety in the oil & gas industry.
Expanding container port terminals are versatile mega-scale facilities, well-connected to road and rail networks. Their primary functions include container storage and shipment. With growing complexity and millions of tons in cargo capacity, these ports increasingly require real-time container tracking systems.
The real-time semi-finished product tracking system allows you to track all movements of every product, every vehicle, and every person in the facility using RFID technology. This increases efficiency and prevents time losses.
Warehouses were long managed manually, failing to meet modern demands and lacking sufficient safety measures—until the Industry 4.0 revolution. This new era introduced automation to manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution. Today, digital transformation in supply chains is crucial for company success.
Wipelot Signalization System has an expandable infrastructure. An increasing number of vehicles or tunnels. The system can be easily expanded to kilometres and hundreds of vehicles without loss of performance if the number of vehicles or tunnels increases. In addition, thanks to the closed-circle operation feature, it is not affected by general system failures and interruptions.
Whether in an office or a large production facility, safety comes first in workplaces. Especially in industrial production areas, mines, construction sites, industrial personnel should be wary of their own as well as their colleagues’ safety above all else. In the industrial sector, there is a huge portion of employees who have to work alone due to their nature of their work.
In order to achieve the highest possible occupational safety in all work areas of forklifts, Wipelot has developed Safezone product range, a complete collision and warning system, using the UWB technology. Since each forklift operation environment is unique, Safezone family was designed as a solution that meets all requirements, with maximum flexibility that considers the operation environment, personnel and equipment structures.
RFID is a member of the technology group called Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC). Although the history of its use dates back to the World War Two, the first modern RFID patent was granted in 1973. Its intended use is basically recognizing objects, collecting data about the objects, and sharing this data with the relevant software systems.
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is an automatic tracking system using a chip and reader to enable wireless data exchange. RFID tags can capture, record, and transmit product data even when out of sight, allowing continuous data access without direct line-of-sight with the object.
Real time operating systems are on the fast lane to becoming the norm in industrial and manufacturing industries, as well as all sectors that are increasingly implementing cloud systems. RTOS diverges from different operating systems that concern computing in terms of its specific response time to various external circumstances. While the standard operating system offers a soft real-time response to instances, RTOS is known to ensure a deterministic and swift reaction that can guarantee efficient completion of tasks.
With the digital revolution sweeping the globe, the Internet of Things (IoT) has become essential across sectors, especially in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Nearly half of global IoT spending is focused on industry utilities, transportation, and manufacturing. The industrial IoT market, now exceeding $900 billion, drives companies to adopt IoT solutions for business optimization and operational efficiency.
Asset identification is crucial for managing various movable or fixed assets, requiring a comprehensive tracking system. Workplace safety solutions rely on accurate asset identification, as mislabeling or duplication increases risks, affects compliance, hinders preventive maintenance, and compromises safety. Ensuring best practices is essential.
Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) enable tracking of items or people in real time, often by integrating various technologies. Widely used in industrial settings, RTLS supports asset management, timestamping, and continuous visibility, helping companies optimize operations, enhance safety, and make data-driven decisions.
Wireless Sensor Networks consist of spatially distributed autonomous devices utilizing sensors that are intended to cooperate in monitoring the physical and environmental conditions of a given location, including metrics such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion, pollutants, and different locations. These devices communicate with each other through wireless connection.
