Powerfleet (Booth C5488) is showcasing a new AI-powered safety system aimed at meeting the growing demand for safer workplaces. As warehouses and distribution centers see growth in labor needs, the risk of injury and safety standard violations has also increased. Associated costs and damage to brand reputation has resulted in companies around the world rethinking their safety cultures. 

Using AI-led object detection, the Pedestrian Proximity Detection solution proactively prevents accidents, bolsters pedestrian safety, and mitigates damage to materials handling equipment (MHE) within warehouses and manufacturing facilities. The solution works by identifying people and materials handling equipment in its path, provides visual and audio alerts of potential hazards, and fosters an enhanced safety culture. 

 

“The safety of pedestrians, drivers and equipment remains our top priority, and Powerfleet is dedicated to providing mission-critical solutions that empower our customers to create safer workplaces throughout the world,” said Steve Towe, chief executive officer at Powerfleet. “The Pedestrian Proximity Detection system offers a broad array of business-improvement capabilities designed to increase pedestrian and MHE safety. Arming organizations with this solution allows them to take critical action to reduce liability and protect their most valuable assets, their people.”
