The new Slamcore Alert system turns lift trucks and manual material handling equipment into safety assets with its pedestrian and object detection technology.
Slamcore, a developer of spatial intelligence software, announced the launch of Slamcore Alert, a dedicated pedestrian detection and driver alert system.
The company said this new system immediately transforms existing industrial machines - such as forklifts and manual material handling equipment - into safety-aware assets.
While the warehouse and logistics industry is increasingly focused on expensive, full-scale autonomous robots, Slamcore said it is addressing the market’s immediate need for practical technologies that maximize current resources and help protect workers.
The rush to meet local manufacturing and same-day delivery demands has led to increasingly crowded and inefficient warehouses. Slamcore said that data shows most forklifts are doing productive work less than 50% of the time, while the safety risk is dire, with approximately two people killed by forklifts in the U.S. every week. The company said Slamcore Alert addresses this dual challenge, ensuring that operations can increase efficiency without compromising the safety of human workers.
Slamcore Alert applies the latest AI to accident prediction. The system consists of an intelligent, AI-enabled camera that can be quickly added to existing vehicles. It continuously monitors the vehicle’s surroundings for pedestrians and immediately alerts the operator to potential safety concerns with no wearables required.
The new system is a specialized feature that builds upon the foundation of Slamcore Aware, the company's existing visual-spatial offering that functions as a powerful RTLS (Real-Time Location System). This foundational tracking data enables comprehensive traffic flow optimization in facilities where people, manual vehicles and mobile robots operate alongside each other.
"Robot-only operations simply isn't feasible for most existing facilities, especially since the forklift market continues to grow rapidly," said Owen Nicholson, CEO of Slamcore. "We are moving beyond that mindset. Our technology empowers human controlled, existing machines with 'robot eyes' to give them the precise spatial perception they need to operate effectively and safely."
