Forklift and Warehouse Camera Safety Solutions

 

At Fleetware, safety is always at the heart of what we do. Whether it’s supporting the mining industry, heavy transport operators, or improving on-road safety, we’re constantly looking at how technology can help reduce risks and protect both people and assets.

Recently, one of our customers raised a concern in a very different environment – the warehouse. With forklifts, reach stackers, and elevated work platforms constantly moving around shared spaces, there’s always the challenge of machinery operating close to pedestrians. They asked us a simple but critical question: Can you create a camera solution that alerts operators when their machines are too close to a pedestrian?

 

 

Finding the Right Solution

We knew right away this was about more than just installing cameras – it was about building a proactive safety tool. The goal was to:

  • Minimise onsite incidents
  • Provide clear records of operator behaviour
  • Ensure teams are adhering to safety processes

After reviewing available options, it became clear that there wasn’t an Australian-made solution that fit these needs. So we looked globally, sourced the right technology, and integrated it into our Fleetware platform to provide a complete, easy-to-manage system.

 

How It Works

The result is a system designed specifically for warehouse environments:

  • 360-degree cameras mounted on forklifts and reach stackers to capture full visibility
  • Rear radar sensors that alert operators when reversing or when approaching an obstacle
  • Proximity alerts that trigger both an onboard alarm and a cloud-based notification if a machine comes within three metres of a pedestrian

Operators get real-time alerts to prevent accidents, while management can access live data through the camera solutions platform to monitor compliance and improve safety practices across the site.

 

Driving Safer Outcomes

We’re proud to have worked with our customer to develop and deliver this solution. It’s already proving to be a powerful tool for:

  • Minimising risk in busy warehouse environments
  • Encouraging safer behaviour among operators
  • Providing actionable insights for management

It’s also a great example of how Fleetware works with customers to create tailored solutions. We don’t rely on off-the-shelf products, we innovate to meet your specific safety and operational needs.
