In industrial settings, ensuring the safety of workers and the efficiency of operations is essential for maintaining secure work environments. To achieve this, it is necessary to have systems that effectively integrate with the workflows of each environment. In this post, we would like to feature a device designed to manage and monitor one of the essential tools in any industrial space: forklifts. These vehicles are fundamental, since, without them, many manoeuvres would be impossible or extremely difficult. Although they greatly facilitate the transport and handling of heavy loads, they are also the main source of workplace accidents. That’s why at Claitec, we have developed a system to streamline and ease these processes, our Copilot system.
What is Copilot and how does it work?
Copilot is a compact and advanced device, designed to manage and monitor the use of industrial vehicles. Thanks to its integration with other devices developed by Claitec, this system allows controlling the status of vehicles, recording their use, and restricting access to their operation by unauthorised personnel. Furthermore, it maintains a detailed record of fleet activity, which is stored on the Safeyu platform (if available). This facilitates the identification of potential problems, impacts, or accidents, allowing for a quick and effective response to any incident.
Key features
This device is primarily designed to alert the vehicle operator to nearby hazards, ensuring their safety by providing them with real-time information. Copilot is capable of integrating with various Claitec systems, such as the Impact Sensor or the CAS-G2. In both cases, Copilot tracks impacts affecting the vehicle when connected to an Impact Sensor, or alerts to the presence of other vehicles or pedestrians when integrated with a CAS-G2. Copilot keeps the operator constantly informed about the surrounding environment through an intuitive touch screen, ensuring simple and effective interaction.
Another of its main features is the checklist. Through this option, random questions are generated about the vehicle’s status that the operator must answer correctly and under their full responsibility before starting operation. All this information is recorded on the Safeyu platform, allowing for detailed tracking of incidents and operators during each manoeuvre.
Copilot’s Advantages for Operational Safety
– Copilot offers numerous advantages for the safety and maintenance of industrial vehicles. Thanks to its ability to connect to other devices, it can integrate various functionalities and alert operators, which helps to significantly reduce the risk of accidents. Additionally, it allows for real-time monitoring of operations and potential incidents during vehicle use, while maintaining strict control over access to its use by unauthorised users.
– Copilot optimizes productivity by monitoring vehicles and recording incidents, which allows for quick and effective decision-making, thus increasing operational efficiency. Furthermore, it adds an additional layer of safety through its integrated systems, alerting operators to nearby risks and ensuring a safer work environment.
– As detailed in this article, Copilot’s Checklist functionality allows for maintaining a record of the vehicles’ status and any incidents. In this way, not only is the safety of pedestrians and operators increased, but productivity is also improved by ensuring that vehicles operate in optimal conditions.
EIn summary: the Copilot system is an advanced solution, designed not only to improve safety but also the maintenance of forklifts and the optimisation of operations. This system guarantees total control and efficient communication with the different integrated devices and with the Safeyu platform, significantly contributing to creating a safer and more productive work environment.
