The VETTER SmartFork is the ideal assistance for forklift drivers for easy and effective loading, less damage and fewer accidents, including integrated camera and sensor technology.
The smart support of the fork technologies opens up new possibilities for the sustainable and safe use of industrial vehicles in the logistics sector.
The sensor for SmartFork takes the safety and efficiency of industrial trucks to new heights.
The SmartFork FrontCam helps the driver to clearly see everything in front of the forklift.
The image from the fork cameras is sent to the display in the driver's cab, helping to detect people early and reduce damage.
The SmartFork SideCam is a camera system that is partially built into the side of the fork blade.
During loading and unloading, both forks are displayed on a monitor in the driver's cabin, and the driver can see the forks together with the forks.
It makes loading loads safer, especially in high rack warehouses. The amount of damage that occurs during the import procedure is significantly reduced.
As practice has shown, precise access to pallet bags is easier said than done. With the SmartFork laser, picking up the load becomes easier, more efficient and safer.
The strong line laser is mounted directly in the fork tip and displays a clearly visible horizontal line on the load carrier. The forklift driver can determine the correct height and position when entering the load carrier.
The integration of the smart sensors in the fork of the AGV is a decisive measure for a defined and safe load handling and detection. The Vetter SmartFork offers advanced and tailor-made solutions to equip AGVs with innovative sensor technology in the fork and adapt it to different needs.
AGVs are often integrated with sensors all around to monitor the environment. These are mainly used as a safety device to identify people or objects in a defined environment and stop the operation of the gadget in case of emergency.
However, VETTER has built-in light sensors incorporated into the fork, which are then activated to detect things such as wooden splints or damaged parts of the pallets, ensuring safe AGV operation precisely in this case.
In addition, these sensors in the fork also detect the end of the load carrier when entering, ensuring safe and damage-free loading.
Each SmartFork application represented can be integrated with other assistance systems of the SmartFork variant and offers several advantages for the forklift driver.
The integration of smart sensors improves safety and productivity. Therefore, it also saves time and money and reduces the workload.
