Gree Electric Manufacturing Enterprise Application - Forklift AI Anti Collision System

Background

Zhuhai Gree Electric Appliances Co., Ltd. was founded in 1991 and listed in November 1996 on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. At the early stage of its establishment, the company mainly relied on the assembly and production of household air-conditioners, and has now developed into a diversified, technology-based global industrial manufacturing group, with industries covering the two major fields of household consumer goods and industrial equipment, and its products are exported to more than 190 countries and regions. Its forklift trucks are mainly used in production workshops, inside and outside warehouses and factory parks, etc., and the equipment they carry is mainly large home appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators and freezers.

The main problems:

1. Frequent operation of forklifts in warehouses, frequent human-vehicle interactions, and great safety hazards.

2. Forklift drivers can only drive in reverse due to the blocked vision and blind spot in front of them, and they often drive over the speed limit and don't follow the rules.

3. Workers in the operation area move back and forth, which may affect the production progress during the busy period of shipment.

Solution:

Utilize the image recognition, pedestrian detection and collision risk technology of the forklift AI collision avoidance system, high-precision camera to capture environmental information and real-time processing. Enhance the safety of forklift operation process, reduce the occurrence of collision accidents, and protect the safety of personnel, goods and equipment.

The system functions mainly include the following aspects:

Behavioral records: real-time records of forklift trajectory, forklift usage time, real-time positioning of forklift and other data, as the driver's work performance assessment data.

Real-time environment monitoring: The system needs to be able to capture the dynamic and static environment information around the forklift in real time, including pedestrians, obstacles, and other vehicles.

Driver behavior monitoring: real-time detection of driver fatigue, distraction and other violations, and issue an early warning.

Accurate identification and early warning: through AI technology, the system should be able to accurately identify potential dangers and issue early warning to avoid collision accidents.

Emergency avoidance measures: When detecting potential collision risks, it automatically initiates emergency avoidance measures, such as slowing down and braking.

Effectiveness evaluation:

1、Improve safety

Real-time monitoring and warning: through the high-definition cameras and sensors installed on the forklift truck, the forklift AI collision avoidance system is able to monitor the environment around the forklift truck in real time, including pedestrians, other vehicles, and obstacles, etc. Once a potential danger is detected, an alarm will be issued immediately to remind the driver to pay attention to avoiding the situation, so as to effectively prevent collision accidents from occurring.

Automatic control: Some high-level forklift AI collision avoidance systems also have an automatic control function, which can automatically brake or decelerate in case of emergency to avoid collision.

2、Enhance efficiency

Reduce human error: Forklift operation requires drivers to have certain skills and experience, but in the process of long-time, high-intensity operation, drivers may suffer from fatigue, lack of concentration and other problems, resulting in operational errors. Forklift AI collision avoidance system can monitor and alert drivers to potential dangers in real time, thus reducing the occurrence of human errors.

Optimize the operation process: By integrating into the enterprise's warehouse management system, logistics tracking system and other intelligent management systems, the forklift AI collision avoidance system can collect real-time forklift operation data and provide detailed analysis reports on the handling operation for the enterprise, which can help the enterprise to optimize the operation process and improve the overall operation efficiency.

3、Reduce operating costs

Reduce accidental losses: Forklift collision accidents often lead to cargo damage, equipment damage and personnel injuries and other problems, which need to invest a lot of human and material resources for maintenance and compensation. The introduction of forklift AI anti-collision system can greatly reduce the occurrence of these accidents, thus reducing the operating costs of enterprises.

In summary, Zhuhai Gree Electric Appliances Co., Ltd. installed forklift AI anti-collision system can not only improve safety, enhance efficiency, reduce operating costs, but also enhance the corporate image and competitiveness. With the continuous progress of science and technology and the continuous expansion of application scenarios, the forklift AI anti-collision system will become an important tool for enterprise safety production and intelligent management.
