FAQ
Is integration with an old fleet possible? What about a mixed fleet (Junheinrich, Still, Linde)?
Integration with Jungheinrich, Still, Linde, Hyster and Toyota is currently possible. Technical integration with other manufacturers is possible in principle. This will be clarified with the manufacturer in advance.
Can older forklifts or vehicles be integrated into the Sentics system?
Integration into older vehicles is possible. In case of doubt, this should be checked in advance.
When and how are service and update functions carried out?
Ongoing service is provided to ensure the best localization performance of the system for the customer. Updates are currently carried out on a regular basis in consultation with the customer.
How is the acceptance of the system among employees?
The installations show a very high level of acceptance among the employees. What is particularly important here is the very transparent approach to implementing the solution. All stakeholders (management, logistics manager, production manager, employee representatives, works council, forklift drivers) should be involved in the installation.
How many cameras are required?
It depends a lot on the environment. Depending on the complexity of the environment, we can cover about 100 to 500 m² with one camera. As a rule of thumb, we look at 150 to 200 m² per camera. We need a certain amount of redundancy so that object classes can be clearly identified.
How is data protection guaranteed?
The system does not generate or store images. Only the coordinates of the incident, object classes and time stamps are output by the system and used to increase safety and prevent accidents.
How will the works council view the system? How can the data be used in the event of an accident?
The use of the data has already been discussed between management and the works council at one customer. As soon as both sides agree, the position information of persons and vehicles can be evaluated. For data protection reasons, it is not possible to evaluate persons.
How much does such a system cost, especially if many forklifts need to be converted and only a few intersections need to be monitored?
How is pricing determined?
Can the system limit the speed of vehicles?
How is liability regulated?
The system is used as an assistance system to support the driver, especially in obscure situations. The driver is ultimately responsible.
