Industry-Leading 99.6% Accuracy

Safety Shield sets the industry standard with its
99.6% accuracy, powered by advanced AI
technology that identifies only the human form.
By filtering out distractions like tools or equipment,
operators are alerted only when a real risk is
detected. This focused approach helps maintain
sharp attention on the task at hand, reducing
unnecessary disruptions and significantly lowering
the chances of accidents.

Enhanced Safety and Visibility

The system allows 2-4 HD cameras to be
mounted at the front and rear of the forklift,
offering customizable coverage from 0.5 to
50 meters. This ensures clear visibility of
pedestrians and hazards, tailored to the
worksite’s needs. Built to withstand harsh
conditions, the cameras are waterproof, shockproof, and dustproof, ensuring
reliable performance in tough environments.

Maintain Productivity

Safety Shield offers customisable safety zones to suit
each worksite’s layout and needs. Forklift operators
can adjust yellow and red zones for tight spaces,
wide aisles, or areas with high pedestrian traffic,
improving alert accuracy and reducing disruptions.
This customisation improves site efficiency by targeting
alerts more accurately, helping operators avoid
accidents while keeping productivity high.

Increase Operational Efficiency

The easy-to-use portal delivers live video
streaming, GPS tracking, and heat mapping
for better forklift site safety. Operators stay
alert to hazards, while GPS ensures smoother
coordination. Heat mapping highlights high-risk
zones, helping managers adjust workflows to
reduce accidents. This streamlines operations
to boosts efficiency and create a safer workplace.
