Paris-headquartered artificial intelligence (AI) for industrial applications specialist Arcure, has been chosen by Jungheinrich to equip its forklifts with its AI-driven pedestrian detection solution, Blaxtair.

The option is now available globally and follows several months of collaboration between the technical teams of Jungheinrich and Arcure to successfully address the technical and technological challenges required for the full integration of the Blaxtair AI software.

Arcure says Jungheinrich has already placed its first orders for Blaxtair and expects to volumes to significantly ramp up in early 2026.

The collaboration marks a major milestone for Arcure’s ambition of capturing the embedded AI market for industrial vehicles by 2030.

“It is a great source of satisfaction to see our technologies and the Blaxtair brand embraced by a global leader in our market, renowned for its commitment to innovation and performance,” says Franck Gayraud, chairman of Arcure.

Felix Riesenhuber, head of segment assistance products, industrial IT & mechatronic modules at Jungheinrich, says the collaboration with Arcure is a response to customer demand.

“With Blaxtair's embedded AI systems, we are responding to growing customer demand by offering a high-tech, field-proven solution that enhances the safety and productivity of daily logistics operations,” Gayraud continues. “The new product significantly contributes to our powerful modular ecosystem of assistance products.”

Arcure says more than 25,000 units of the Blaxtair intelligent pedestrian detection system have already been sold into more than 50 countries.
