Use case REHAU Automotive
Greater safety in plant traffic thanks to smart forklift trucks
At automotive supplier REHAU Automotive’s plant in Brake on the Lower Weser, production and dispatch are mainly taken care of by forklift trucks. As the processes in production became increasingly complex and dynamic, the large number of items involved meant that finally it was also necessary to reorganise the entire safety concept for internal transport. Working jointly with the Hamburg-based intralogistics expert STILL, a pioneering safety system was implemented for plant traffic. Based on smart driver assistance systems, AI-assisted cameras and visual warning signs that actively warn pedestrians of danger by means of projection, the optimised safety system should in future become the benchmark for other production sites as well.
