Litum, a provider of location-aware safety and operational intelligence for complex physical environments, has transformed its forklift collision warning technology, PathAware IQ and PathAware IQ+, into connected safety intelligence platforms.

In addition to warning operators about risks, PathAware IQ also captures safety events across the fleet and turns them into visual dashboards and actionable data. In this way, it delivers safety teams visibility into recurring risks, near misses, operators, vehicles, areas and shifts.

PathAware IQ+ builds on that intelligence with digital pre-operation inspections and utilisation reporting, and in this way, connects what happens around the forklift to how the fleet is utilised.

The retrofit system works across forklift brands and models, leased or owned, and does not require cameras, mandatory pedestrian wearables or a facility-wide RTLS deployment.

“Most companies know when an accident happens. What they don’t see are the thousands of risky interactions and near misses happening before it,” says Ozgur Ulku, CEO of Litum.

“PathAware IQ turns those events into actionable safety intelligence. Safety teams can see patterns, focus training where it is actually needed and address risks before they become incidents, all without deploying facility-wide RTLS.”

Both PathAware IQ and PathAware IQ+ run on the new Onboard Hub, an in-cab device that connects the operator, forklift and safety workflow.

It delivers real-time collision warnings and, depending on the PathAware tier, features like operator authentication, access control, digital inspections, incident reporting and utilisation data, all through a single vehicle-based system.
