In an environment like this, nothing should be taken for granted for safety standards. As complex industrial facilities advance but encounter emerging hurdles, businesses will seek intelligent systems equipped to help reduce and eliminate risks with little or no human intervention. One of the exciting solutions which appears to be on the horizon is the Forklift Accident Avoidance System featuring computer vision and AI Video analytics software. The combination o...
