The problem
A pedestrian stepping into a forklift lane and a collision can occur before any supervisor can intervene.
Operators cannot see pedestrians approaching from behind, below or from around shelving corners.
In noisy warehouse environments, forklift horns and reverse alarms are frequently tuned out by workers.
Time pressure causes workers to take shortcuts through active forklift areas rather than designated pedestrian paths.
Peak packing and dispatch periods create the most congestion — and the most opportunity for a near-miss.
Near-misses are often not reported because workers fear repercussions — meaning recurring risks go uncorrected.
What FlowLinks detects
Detect when a person comes within a defined safety radius of an operating forklift and alert instantly.
Identify people entering designated forklift-only lanes, dock zones or vehicle operating areas.
Detect when a forklift is reversing with a person in close range — one of the most common incident scenarios.
Alerts reach the right person via WhatsApp or email within seconds of a proximity breach being detected.
Each event is logged with a video clip, timestamp, aisle location and camera ID for investigation and reporting.
Track which aisles, shifts and times generate the most near-miss events to target safety improvements.
How it works
FlowLinks integrates with warehouse CCTV or IP cameras via RTSP. No forklift sensors or wearables needed.
Safety distances are set per zone — the system alerts when a person breaches the threshold near an operating forklift.
The system watches for aggressive behaviour patterns, proximity breaches and pedestrian-vehicle conflicts continuously.
The designated supervisor receives a WhatsApp or email alert with camera ID, location and a snapshot within seconds.
