In today’s fast-paced material handling industry, efficiency, accuracy, and safety are of utmost importance. To meet these demands, GemOne has introduced Sapphire, a cutting-edge telematics solution that offers a range of advanced features tailored specifically for the industry.
One of the standout features of Sapphire is its innovative load sensor, which offers a multitude of benefits that have the potential to transform material handling operations. Here are five of those benefits:
- Overload Prevention
One significant benefit of the load sensor technology is overload prevention.
By setting thresholds for load capacity, operators can be notified when they exceed the safe limits.
This proactive notification system helps prevent dangerous situations related to the overloading of forklifts, thereby enhancing safety in the workplace.
Moreover, by avoiding overloading, the machine is protected in the long term, resulting in reduced equipment maintenance, improved efficiency, and overall cost savings.
- Enhanced Safety Measures
Safety is a primary concern in the material handling industry, where mishaps can lead to injuries, property damage, and costly legal liabilities.
Sapphire’s load sensor feature significantly contributes to enhanced safety measures.
The load sensor provides real-time feedback, alerting operators when they exceed safe weight limits, ensuring that they take necessary precautions to avoid potential hazards.

- Optimised Efficiency and Productivity
Efficiency and productivity are crucial factors in material handling operations.
GemOne’s load sensor optimises both.
Operators can avoid unnecessary trips by optimising their load capacity to the safe limits set for their machine and business needs, with the certainty that they are not overloading their machine.
In this way, they can reduce downtime and increase their overall operational efficiency.
- Preventive Maintenance and Equipment Longevity
Excessive strain caused by overloading can accelerate wear and tear on material handling equipment, resulting in frequent breakdowns, downtime, and increased maintenance costs.
Sapphire’s load sensors aid in preventive maintenance by monitoring weight thresholds and ensuring that operators operate within safe limits. By preventing equipment overload and damage, businesses can extend the longevity of their assets, minimise repair costs, and reduce unplanned downtime.
Well maintained equipment is a key component to creating a safe warehouse environment: find out how safe your warehouse is by taking a look at GemOne’s free checklist.
- Compliance with Regulations and Standards
The material handling industry is subject to various regulations and standards concerning weight restrictions, load limits, and occupational safety. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in penalties, legal consequences, and reputational damage.
Sapphire’s load sensor function assists companies in meeting these compliance requirements by providing real-time alerts when limits are exceeded. This feature ensures that businesses can operate within the legal framework and maintain a high level of safety and professionalism.
