GemOne’s Sapphire solution is a premium safety management tool for the material handling industry which works with multi-cameras, taking safety to the next level. Sapphire and camera usage increases the safety and efficiency of fleets and protects business operations along with employees.
GemOne’s latest Sapphire solution works smoothly with cameras. The latest addition ensures that operators can see clearly, where their vision is normally limited: in high level racking, double-deep racking, low level lighting, and blind spots. Sapphire also displays up to 4 camera views. All of which can be viewed on one screen, removing any unwanted dashboard clutter.

Cameras begin recording when a machine is activated and will automatically record video to capture data. Blind spots are eliminated with the use of cameras and they remove any guessing work that a machine operator might be left with. Telematics can tell you what has been done following an event and therefore help to create better work practices for future use, but cameras can highlight in real time how to avoid unnecessary collisions in the moment.
Any recorded footage can be viewed from a multitude of viewpoints and the most important benefit of installing these cameras is safety. However, others key factors are lower insurance premiums, improved claims procedure and efficiency improvements.
Cameras also add another layer of protection for operators and companies. A camera system captures any incidents and near-misses and that footage allows managers to see the bigger picture of the incident.
Within the busy warehouse environment, cameras are those extra eyes needed to stop accidents before they happen. Having video evidence creates an environment of accountability and protection for anyone involved in an incident.
Training can also be improved with footage of real-life examples of incidents. Footage can pinpoint where negative work practices have occurred and shows how these pactices can be avoided in future. Cameras help workers to be more aware of the main risks, such as people not being seen. Many managers and supervisors may find it hard to keep up with ever-changing standards and legislations and are unsure of where to begin in terms of improving safety. In order for a safety strategy to work, it needs to be clear to everyone who enters the site.
Strategically placed cameras are also useful in the prevention and investigation of work-related injuries. The footage can aid in evaluating if an incident has something to do with operator error. If such is the case, the video will serve as a confirmation that safety training is necessary. Essentially, this will help reduce the risks of occupational hazards.
Having cameras installed alongside having data collected by telematics within the warehouse, reinforces safety and security. Cameras, like telematics, are clear indicators to safety officials and employees alike, that employees are making safety a priority within their workplace. Cameras safeguard the company, and employees equally.
This week, GemOne is attending the Vertikal Days exhibition in the UK. Come along to booth MP30 at the show in Peterborough to see first hand how the products we offer serve businesses with fleets of industrial machinery.
