Utilising Ai Safety Cameras to Stay Safe in Challenging Conditions When Operating Telehandlers
AI is changing the game within many different industries and from day-to-day tasks that would otherwise be mundane and take time, to tasks that help to elevate levels of safety in what are inherently dangerous locations. When it comes to the use of telehandlers, safety is of paramount importance and with the addition of AI safety cameras, there is a big improvement to be made to levels of safety and how operators function in any environment where a telehandler is used.
Telehandlers are used extensively within the construction, recycling, and manufacturing industries, to name just a few. They are used to move materials from one part of a site to another, to help sort through materials and provide a robust and flexible piece of machinery that maximises efficiency of operations.
The benefits of AI cameras
The addition of AI camera systems to your telehandler hire choice is a great way to improve various facets of your operation. Artificial intelligence is extremely beneficial when used in specific ways. In particular, the safety of operators and how they manoeuvre telehandlers on site without harming other human beings.
How a good AI camera system works is that it should identify the human form within a designated detection zone that is based around the telehandler. Internal and external audio and visual alarms are then set off to alert the driver and the pedestrian that a collision is close. This helps to maximise the efficiency of moving telehandlers around site and improves safety standards.
For site managers, access to live feed footage and mobile alerts ensures that when there is a potentially dangerous situation, they are alerted and are provided with the relevant data to help the situation to be resolved in the safest possible manner if this is required. When AI is used in this way it can make a massive difference to the safety levels around site.
How to operate telehandlers safely
On top of utilising the positive aspects of AI technology as it develops into a useful tool within plant hire services, there are other things that you can do to ensure that telehandlers are operated to an optimum level of safety. This includes keeping the boom and the load as low to the ground as possible during travel, maintaining consistent and low speeds that ensure the load and machine is stable at all times, have fully trained operators that understand all aspects of how the telehandler functions and how to maintain effective and safe use.
Understanding the safety procedures and best practice for any machine or equipment that you lease from a plant hire company is one of the most important things that you should do on any project. Your plant hire contract includes the best professional advice and use of energy efficient systems and the latest tech. With the improvement in AI in recent times, a productive use of it is with AI safety cameras that are added to telehandlers to help increase safety awareness and to reduce the potential for collisions on site.
