Hi everyone,

I'd love to start a discussion on the implementation and benefits of real-time forklift location systems in warehouses and distribution centers. With the rise of automation and IoT, such systems are gaining traction for improving operational efficiency and safety.

Here are a few key points to think about:
1. Real-time Tracking: How can knowing the exact location of forklifts at any given moment optimize workflows and reduce downtime?
2. Safety & Compliance: Could real-time location data help prevent accidents, improve worker safety, and assist in meeting regulatory requirements?
3. Data Analytics: How can the data collected from these systems be leveraged for predictive maintenance or better fleet management?

In short, we're looking for a way to make forklifts safer, for example by avoiding collisions with objects and, of course, people.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts! Have any of you worked with these systems or seen their impact firsthand? What are the potential downsides or limitations we should consider?

Looking forward to your insights!
