Prevent Forklift Incidents Before They Happen
AI-powered near-miss detection, speed monitoring, and zone compliance using your existing cameras. Only actionable events — no noise, no alert fatigue.
6 Safety Events Monitored
Our forklift safety suite covers the full spectrum of forklift-related risks — from near-miss detection to zone compliance and speed enforcement.
Forklift-Person Near-Miss
Detect close calls between forklifts and pedestrians before they become incidents.
AI calculates real-time proximity and trajectory between forklifts and people, triggering alerts when collision risk exceeds threshold.
Forklift-Forklift Interaction
Monitor near-miss events between multiple forklifts operating in shared spaces.
Tracks all vehicles simultaneously to detect dangerous approach vectors at intersections, blind corners, and narrow aisles.
Vehicle Operation Zones
Ensure forklifts only operate within designated areas and stay out of restricted zones.
Define zones where forklifts are allowed, restricted, or prohibited. Get instant alerts when a forklift enters the wrong zone.
Vehicle Speed Limits
Monitor and enforce speed limits across different zones of your facility.
Set zone-specific speed thresholds. Works with CCTV cameras for approximate speed and Radar cameras for high-accuracy measurements.
Stop Sign / One-Way Compliance
Verify that operators come to a complete stop and follow directional traffic rules.
Monitors intersections and one-way corridors to detect rolling stops, wrong-way travel, and failure-to-yield violations.
People in Forklift Zones
Detect unauthorized pedestrians entering active forklift operation areas.
Alerts when pedestrians enter designated forklift-only zones without authorization, preventing the most common forklift accident scenario.
Forklift Safety Detection Examples

Only Actionable Events.
Zero Noise.
Most forklift safety systems alert whenever two bounding boxes overlap — flooding your team with hundreds of false positives per shift. Your EHS team wastes hours sifting through noise instead of addressing real risks.
Visionify uses trajectory analysis, speed vectors, and context-aware AI to determine if an event is a genuine near-miss. The result: your safety team only receives events that require action.

Works With Your Cameras — or Add Radar
Start with your existing CCTV cameras for full near-miss and zone monitoring. Add radar cameras for precision speed enforcement where you need it most.
Standard CCTV / IP Cameras
Your existing security cameras are all you need to get started with near-miss detection, zone compliance, and approximate speed monitoring.
- Forklift-person near-miss detection
- Forklift-forklift interaction detection
- Vehicle operation zone enforcement
- Stop sign / one-way compliance
- People in forklift zone detection
- Approximate speed estimation
Works with any 2MP+ IP camera with RTSP support.
Radar Cameras
Precision SpeedFor facilities that need precise speed enforcement, radar-integrated cameras provide highly accurate speed measurements for compliance and audit purposes.
- Everything CCTV cameras support, plus:
- High-accuracy speed measurement (within 0.5 mph)
- Speed-based zone enforcement
- Audit-grade speed compliance reports
- Speed trend analytics per zone
- Automated speed violation documentation
Recommended for high-traffic zones and regulatory compliance.
The Cost of Inaction
Forklift incidents are among the most costly and preventable workplace accidents. The data makes the case for proactive monitoring.

With 70% of forklift accidents being preventable and pedestrian collisions being the deadliest category, AI-powered near-miss detection is the single highest-impact investment an EHS team can make for forklift safety.
How Forklift Safety Monitoring Works
Go from zero to full forklift safety monitoring in under a week. Works with your existing camera infrastructure.
Connect Your Cameras
Works with existing CCTV/IP cameras via RTSP. Optionally add radar cameras for precision speed enforcement. No proprietary hardware required.
AI Analyzes Every Frame
Our edge server processes video feeds in real-time, tracking forklifts and people with trajectory analysis, speed vectors, and zone awareness.
Actionable Alerts Only
Near-misses, speed violations, and zone breaches trigger instant alerts via email, SMS, WhatsApp, or Teams. No bounding-box noise — only events worth acting on.
Analytics & Compliance
Track near-miss trends, speed compliance rates, zone violations, and operator behavior over time. Generate audit-ready reports for management and OSHA compliance.
Forklift Safety Across Industries
Every facility has unique forklift traffic patterns and risks. Our system adapts to your specific layout with zone-based rules and industry configurations.
Manufacturing
Busy production floors with forklifts moving materials between lines, storage, and shipping.
Warehousing
High-traffic racking environments where forklifts and pickers share tight spaces.
Logistics & Distribution
Fast-paced dock and staging areas with constant forklift movement and tight schedules.
Retail Distribution
Large distribution centers with mixed foot traffic and forklift operations.
Oil & Gas
Industrial yards and processing facilities with heavy equipment and strict safety requirements.
Food & Beverage
Cold storage and production facilities where visibility is often reduced.
