Focusing on digitisation and Industry 4.0
Vehicles are becoming increasingly digitised and continue to be equipped with a variety of innovative assistance systems as a precursor to autonomous driving. But it is not only on the roads that this technology is ever more prevalent: in the logistics arena forklift trucks are benefitting from more and more digital „guardian angels“ which are making their operation much safer for both the workforce and equipment. This is the basis for ELOKON’s product range, which hinges on an intelligent interplay of hardware, software, sensor and radio based technologies.
Our products preemptively recognise dangerous situations and semi-autonomously intervene, to slow down a forklift for example, thereby preventing accidents.
Using innovative Lidar or UWB technology, the trucks recognise the presence of pedestrians in the vicinity. Trucks communicate with each other by radio – known in the automotive sector as „car -to-car“ or they communicate via sensors with the infrastructure – known as „car-to-X“, to ascertain their position in relation to pedestrians or other trucks in real time.
