Eforthink’s UWB Forklift Collision Prevention: A Large Warehouse Safety Solution

To deliver reliable UWB forklift collision prevention for large-scale logistics operations, Eforthink partnered with a leading e-commerce ecosystem to deploy a high-performance UWB forklift anti-collision warning system for its large overseas warehouse—a critical logistics hub supporting regional e-commerce operations that processes a large volume of orders daily. With intense forklift traffic and constant personnel movement across the large warehouse space, the risk of collisions was prominent, threatening personnel safety and disrupting warehouse workflows. This urgent challenge drove the client to seek reliable forklift personnel collision prevention solutions that could integrate seamlessly into its high-volume operational rhythm without compromising efficiency.

Solution Deployment Details

Tailored to the warehouse’s scale and operational needs, the solution integrates 50+ UWB ranging base stations and 200+ personnel tags, leveraging advanced UWB technology to achieve 10cm ranging precision— a key advantage for identifying potential hazards in complex, dynamic warehouse environments. The UWB technology delivers stable performance even in cluttered spaces, ensuring uninterrupted monitoring. The system enables real-time distance measurement for forklifts, covering both forklift-personnel and forklift-forklift interactions, and this real-time distance measurement for forklifts ensures timely hazard detection. Each base station is equipped with audible and visual alarms that trigger automatically when distances drop below preset safety thresholds, alerting operators and personnel promptly to mitigate collision risks before incidents occur.

Project Value & Outcomes

This deployment effectively balances operational efficiency and on-site safety, reducing collision accident rates significantly while supporting the warehouse’s high-order-volume processing demands. Beyond risk mitigation, it minimizes downtime caused by accidents and lowers associated maintenance and liability costs. The solution showcases eforthink’s professional expertise in industrial safety, offering a scalable UWB forklift anti-collision warning system with reliable UWB ranging base stations that adapts to varying warehouse layouts and operational intensities. It serves as a practical safety upgrade for large-scale warehouses and logistics facilities seeking to enhance workplace safety, optimize operational reliability and strengthen forklift personnel collision prevention.
