Autonomous forklifts ‘raise the bar on safety’, says Seegrid

by

Thousands of injuries related to manually driven forklifts are reported to US health and safety authority OSHA each year, and a fatal accident involving a manual forklift occurred approximately once per week in the US in 2018.

Many companies are adopting Seegrid vision-guided vehicles (VGVs) as a safe, efficient form of transport in their facilities.

There is no comparison between human industrial vehicle drivers and their Seegrid autonomous driving counterparts – the company claims that injury and fatality statistics prove that its technology is safer.

Seegrid self-driving vehicles clock up over 1 million ‘safe’ hours

by

Seegrid, the leader in connected self-driving vehicles for materials handling, says its self-driving vehicles have exceeded 1 million production miles at customer sites without a single personnel safety incident.

Having travelled the equivalent of over 40 times around the earth, Seegrid’s vision-guided vehicles (VGVs) have logged more infrastructure-free miles at customer sites than any other infrastructure-free AGV company.

According to OSHA, in the United States, someone dies every three days in a forklift accident and each year 34,900 serious injuries occur, making worker safety a massive factor in any factory or warehouse setting.
