NX Logistics Research Institute and Consulting, Inc. has launched a new service called "FORK FLOW" that utilizes smartphone sensors to visualize forklift operating status and safe driving conditions.
In recent years, logistics sites have been facing increasingly serious challenges, including shortages of forklift operators, rising labor costs and prices, and the need for enhanced safety management.
This service acquires and analyzes sensor data such as acceleration, angular velocity, and tilt from a smartphone mounted on a forklift, automatically determining the forklift's operating status in a time series.
This enables visualization of operating conditions that were previously difficult to grasp, such as loaded travel, empty travel, cargo handling, and stopping, as well as safe driving conditions.
Furthermore, the service provides analytical tools for the acquired data, offering consistent support from site visualization to the examination of improvement measures.
Through these efforts, the company contributes to sustainable operations at logistics sites and the creation of workplace environments where employees can work with peace of mind.
The company will continue to leverage its extensive expertise cultivated through consulting and research services in the logistics field to contribute to the realization of sustainable logistics for its customers.
