In busy warehouses, forklift/ pedestrian interaction is one of the hardest risks to manage because the warning signs are often subtle. Repeated close calls, informal shortcuts, and high-traffic area near misses are all possible occurrences. The Yale Pedestrian Detection Event Dashboard helps warehouse operations use data to target these issues.
What is a Pedestrian Detection Event Dashboard?
The Yale pedestrian detection event dashboard sources data from a camera system, helping warehouses better understand operator and pedestrian behaviour. The camera technology can identify pedestrians at ranges of up to 5 metres from a lift truck.
The dashboard is available to customers using the Yale Reliant™ pedestrian awareness camera together with the advanced tier of the Yale Vision™ Wireless Verification telemetry solution. The solution brings event data into a single view that supports decision-making across the operation.
Data changes the safety conversation
Safety improvements can happen when teams see patterns and take targeted action. The dashboard captures pedestrian detection events, so that operations gain critical information that supports actions which can reduce the likelihood of accidents.
The dashboard helps teams learn key operational information, including:
•Total number of pedestrian events across the fleet of equipped lift trucks
•Time and date of events
•Proximity of pedestrians during events
•Location of events around the lift truck
•Number of events per machine
•Additional event details, including whether the lift truck was stationary or in motion
This makes it easier to prioritise the right interventions, whether layout tweaks, rule reinforcement, signage, pedestrian boundary updates, or operator coaching. All based on evidence rather than assumptions.
Customer-driven design in action
A common brand thread across Yale solutions is customer-driven design, building products around how customers actually operate their warehouses, train their teams, and improve performance.
This dashboard is a strong example of this philosophy because it’s built to support actions safety and ops leaders genuinely need to take:
1) Better coaching
The dashboard provides event context giving teams a factual basis for coaching discussions rather than generic reminders.
2) Smarter layout decisions
Operations can take action such as updating pedestrian boundaries based on insights from the dashboard.
3) Fleet-level safety visibility
Because the dashboard consolidates event data across equipped trucks, teams can focus improvements where they’ll have the greatest impact, across the fleet, not just on one vehicle.
The new dashboard connects with the Yale Reliant™ pedestrian awareness camera, which can accurately identify pedestrians at ranges up to 5 metres through a 110-degree field of view and provides automatic alerts to the lift truck operator when a pedestrian is detected.
The camera system was developed using extensive real-world photographic data and adapts to different lighting and environmental conditions by tracking physical human features, which supports increased data accuracy compared to using heat alone to detect pedestrian presence.
The Pedestrian Detection Event Dashboard is available at no additional cost for customers who already use the Yale Reliant™ pedestrian awareness camera and the advanced tier of Yale Vision™ Wireless Verification telemetry solution.
