Forklift Detection AI for the Toughest Plant and Warehouse Safety Problems

  • Deploy Anywhere, Run Everywhere

    Run forklift detection on existing facility cameras, vehicle-mounted cameras, fixed-mount sensors, the edge, on-prem, in your VPC, or via API, wherever your plant, dock, or warehouse needs it.

  • One Platform, Full Adoption

    Tools every team can adopt, from developers to business owners, no ML team required.

  • Secure and Reliable, Always

    Data stays safe with SOC 2 Type II compliance, encrypted data, HIPAA compliance, and an uptime SLA.

  • Forklift in Restricted Zone
  • Pedestrian Proximity & Collision Risk
  • Speed & Unsafe Operation
  • Near-Miss Detection
  • Operator PPE & Compliance
  • Fleet Utilization & Idle Time
“Achieving positive results using AI in a lab environment is easy, but the real challenge comes when scaling the solution across a network like ours without disrupting day-to-day operations. Our partnership with Roboflow is allowing us to do just that.”

Automate Forklift Detection, Prevent Collisions, Build a Safer Operation with Vision AI

Turn existing facility cameras into a real-time safety signal with Roboflow's forklift detection. Built for the plants, distribution centers, and warehouses where one forklift in the wrong place at the wrong time can mean a lost-time injury, an OSHA recordable, or worse. Whether you're enforcing pedestrian-free zones, monitoring aisle speed, tracking near-misses, or auditing operator behavior, Roboflow delivers accurate, scalable forklift detection on the cameras your facility already runs.

Pedestrian Safety and Collision Prevention:

  • Detect forklifts and pedestrians in shared lanes, aisles, and dock zones
  • Identify proximity events and trigger real-time alerts before a collision
  • Catch blind-corner approaches, doorway conflicts, and reversing risks

Restricted Zone Enforcement and Operating Behavior:

  • Enforce pedestrian-only zones, forklift-only aisles, and restricted areas
  • Detect speeding, unsafe turning, and reversing in active aisles
  • Flag operators not wearing required PPE (seatbelt, vest, hard hat)

Fleet Activity, Utilization, and Operator Compliance:

  • Track forklift activity, idle time, and utilization across shifts and zones
  • Identify untrained or unauthorized operators at the controls
  • Run forklift detection on existing cameras, vehicle-mounted units, or fixed sensors, on the edge if you need it

Bring intelligence to every aisle today. Stop forklift incidents from becoming injuries, citations, or lost production.
