Forklift accidents can occur in the blink of an eye, threatening the safety and well-being of drivers and pedestrians alike. Facilities that place a high value on safety are selecting Matrix’s OmniPro, a powerful, highly accurate collision avoidance system utilizing Visual Artificial Intelligence to enable pedestrian and vehicle alerting for mobile equipment. This award-winning* system, which works without personal wearable devices or tags, not only “sees” and identifies people and hazards, alerting with visual and/or audible alerts, it also photographs and reports on zone breaches. It can help you save lives, eliminate accidents and reduce costs.

OmniPro’s customizable solution can be adapted to match any operating environment through its programmable field-of-view zone grid configuration tool, which enables it to meet the safety requirements of different operations. Matrix’s ongoing product development has minimized nuisance alerting, and we have an analytics team that thrives on determining how to filter or decipher the actionable data.

With OmniPro’s new data-rich cloud application, facilities can tap into the latest technology to improve safety. For example, when management has access to detailed collision avoidance data and photos showing what is happening in the facility in real-time, they are able to take effective action that allows the mobile equipment operator, pedestrians and the facility to be as safe as possible. Using this innovative application of Visual Artificial Intelligence, the OmniPro collision avoidance system gives warehouses, distribution centers and manufacturing plants the ability to log and analyze a wide range of data related to zone breach notifications. This information can provide critical insights about hazardous areas and ultimately serve as a basis for improving facility safety, including adjusting workflows, improving layouts and identifying the need for additional training.

For example, using OmniPro data, operations can answer many questions, including:

  • How many close calls/near misses have occurred today? 
  • Who are your best operators/worst operators?
  • What types of machines are having the most accidents?
  • Where are incidents occurring, and are there hot spots in the operation?
