ELOKON Unveils ELOfusion to Improve Forklift Safety and Productivity

ELOKON, a leader in safety and assistance systems for material handling and intralogistics, introduced a single, integrated environmental warning and fleet management system to improve safety and productivity for forklift fleets in warehouses, distribution centers and manufacturing facilities. ELOfusion combines ELOKON’s ultra-wideband (UWB)-based ELOshield proximity detection system and the fleet management platform ELOfleet, offering collision avoidance, automatic speed reduction, comprehensive fleet management and centralized data analysis. ELOKON will demonstrate the new system at ProMat (booth #S3588) from March 17-20 in Chicago.

In the integrated hardware and software solution, ELOfusion offers:

• Collision avoidance: precise detection and avoidance of collisions between vehicles and people in real-time using UWB radio waves to gauge the distance between the forklift and surrounding obstacles. ELOfusion also offers a precise detection mechanism that can penetrate obstacles without false alarms and manage multiple pedestrian detections simultaneously;
• Automatic speed reduction: Intelligent adjustment of speed in danger zones such as doorways or confined spaces;
• Comprehensive fleet management features: RFID access control, impact sensors to detect violent damage, electronic safety checklists, analysis of driving, logging and idle times, battery management, and preventive maintenance scheduling; and
• Centralized data analysis: the ELOfleet.com platform can be used to centrally analyze all data from your forklift fleet to identify efficiency potential and optimize processes across all locations.

In addition to ELOfusion, ELOKON will demonstrate:

• ELOvision, an artificial intelligence (AI)-based environmental warning system leveraging a camera to provide an intelligent alternative to the UWB-based ELOshield;
• ELOshieldAI, combining the AI-based camera system ELOvision with the UWB system ELOshield; and
• Updates to ELOfleet, including digital maintenance management and a new digital document management system.

In addition to the technology demonstrations, Glasmacher will present three seminars on “How Sensor Data Fusion is Enabling New and Transformative Forklift Safety and Fleet Management Products.” Attendees will learn how:

• Sensor data fusion is driving the adoption of smart forklift fleet and pedestrian safety solutions for safer, more efficient operations;
• Infrastructure-free RTL and digital twins for warehouse safety are impacting operations; and
• Combining proximity detection systems with forklift fleet telematics transforms the industry from reactive impact recording to proactive collision avoidance.

These seminars will take place in on March 18 at 12 p.m. in theater G; March 19 at 3 p.m. in theater I, and March 20 at 9:30 a.m. in theater D.
