The solution is real-time monitoring of movement using a real time locating system (RTLS) to detect excessive durations of no movement.<\/li><li>Detecting if they crash into racking. For example, we had a customer with a warehouse storing dangerous chemicals. They needed to know about impacts with racking that could potentially displace and spill the chemicals. The solution is detecting unexpected excessive rack movement using a RTLS.<\/li><li>Detecting if they go missing. One client told us of forklifts going missing having been driven off in lorries in the cargo area. A RTLS can alert when forklifts go outside an area, inside an area or are no longer being seen. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These scenarios affect the company&#8217;s direct costs. Preventing just one incident can pay for the RTLS and more importantly prevent fines, injuries, lost days and medical bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even when there aren&#8217;t accidents, a RTLS saves costs through improved efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/beaconrtls.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read about BeaconRTLS\u2122<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beaconzone.co.uk\/IndustryManufacturing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Beacons in Industry and the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forklift trucks are a common theme or problem in warehouses.
