Problem

Forklifts are expensive assets whose true utilization is often guessed from anecdotes and maintenance logs.

Business impact

Idle time, congestion, and unsafe interactions stay invisible—until throughput or incidents force attention.

Current approaches

  • Telematics on some trucks
  • Manual observation
  • Labor standards without visual proof

Why existing methods fail

  • Not all equipment is telematics-enabled
  • Telematics may miss context at docks
  • Safety near misses go unrecorded

How AI solves it

  • Detect forklift activity from cameras
  • Estimate utilization and idle patterns
  • Flag congestion and near-miss candidates for review

With AnomaAI, detections become business events with evidence—so teams review what matters and leaders see outcomes, not camera walls.

Business outcomes

  • Higher effective utilization
  • Fewer bottlenecks
  • Stronger safety conversations

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need tags on forklifts?

Camera-based monitoring can start without new tags; telematics can complement later.
