Applications

With camera systems from Holland Vision Systems, forklifts and lift trucks can be visually monitored in real time using video systems with wi-fi.

Pallets get damaged and people can get hurt. Having a video record of what happened shows who was responsible and helps prevent future incidents. Issues typically decrease when forklift operators know they will be held accountable. Recordings can be useful training aids and are invaluable for proving that every pallet ordered was loaded in a trailer and that all were in good condition.

Efficient warehouses often have narrow aisles, tall racking, and double-deep racking in order to store a higher volume of products in a given area. These densely packed warehouses are often served by reach-type forklifts that have tall masts. It is difficult for forklift operators to judge the height of their forks when picking from an upper rack level because the pallet pockets appear as thin horizontal lines. Double-deep racking presents an additional challenge because operators must insert their forks without seeing the pallet when picking from the rear layer.

Rolls of material are often very large and can block the forklift operator’s view, making it difficult to maneuver the forklift. Rolls are easily damaged or soiled, causing scrap loss. It is difficult for the operator to place the ends of the roll core into rack receptacles without cameras to help.

Rolls of material are often very large and can block the forklift operator’s view, making it difficult to maneuver the forklift. Rolls are easily damaged or soiled, causing scrap loss. It is difficult for the operator to judge where the bottom of the roll is without cameras to help.

Lift-truck operators using a carpet pole to pick product from a rack have to thread a needle far above them while they are at ground level.

Maneuvering a forklift is difficult since it requires driving in reverse for most jobs due to the load obstructing the frontal view. Rear-end steering makes the forklift take tight turns in the front but swing wide in the back.

Dry-storage racking of boats is becoming increasingly popular. Boats often have delicate features like windshields, bimini covers, mirrors, antennas, and wakeboard racks that can easily be damaged during placement or removal of a boat from the storage rack. The cost to repair each damaged boat can easily run into the thousands of dollars.

Visibility is limited when tractors fitted with forks are used to move crates or pallets. Operators often cannot see their forks when picking product from the ground. A “spotter” person may assist the operator, and damaged pallets and produce is common.

Tugger trains are an efficient way to move pallets around the factory floor. It is impossible for the operator to fully monitor the train cars behind him while he is driving forward, resulting in damaged warehouse equipment and safety concerns.

Moving large metal coils is challenging. The operator often has limited visibility of his forks or coil ram and can easily hit the coil’s edge or push too far through it, resulting in scrap loss, delays, and extra labor. A camera system designed for your application can solve your visibility issues.

With constant advances in technology, evolving customer needs, and unique applications many of our systems are built-to-order. If we don’t have an existing model that does what you need, we are able to configure a new camera system based on the type of forklift and attachment you are using, what kind of loads you’re handling, the operating environment, temperature, fleet size and type, the view you want, and any other goals you have to produce the perfect solution.
