In our country, there are a large number of industrial forklifts. Forklifts are mechanical equipment used when handling large objects. It is often widely used in warehouses, logistics transshipment centers, port terminals, airports, mines, etc. The environment in which forklifts are used is more complicated. It is easy to cause collisions during driving. Reducing the incidence of accidents is an important indicator of plant safety.


SKYLAB is a professional UWB factory forklift anti-collision solution provider. Following up on the characteristics of forklift accidents, SKYLAB launched the forklift UWB ranging collision avoidance system.


The forklift UWB ranging and anti-collision system adopts UWB technology. By fixing the alarm UWB base station on the forklift, the relative distance of the tag within a radius of 100 meters can be monitored in real-time, and the accuracy can reach up to 10cm.


Introduction of Anti-collision Warning Solution for Personnel and Forklifts

The UWB solution for personnel and forklift anti-collision warning provided by SKYLAB includes two situations, namely, the anti-collision warning between the forklift and the forklift, and the anti-collision warning between the forklift and the worker.


The personnel forklift collision avoidance warning solution is based on UWB high-precision ranging, with advanced UWB positioning and ranging technology as the core. The TOF multi-group two-way ranking algorithm is used to achieve accuracy between forklifts and forklifts, forklifts and personnel wearing UWB Worker Cards Ranging, the average ranging accuracy can reach 10cm.


It is combined with sound and light alarms to form an anti-collision warning device to realize the function of anti-collision warning. When a collision is about to occur, an alarm is generated to remind the forklift operator. At the same time, the anti-collision UWB worker card also emits warning lights, vibrations, and warning buzzers to remind relevant staff.

The driver failed to detect the presence of pedestrians in time due to the occlusion of the line of sight. The UWB Anchor can be used to sense pedestrians wearing work cards and the presence of forklifts installed on the UWB Anchor, so as to realize early warning.

(2). Forklift and Forklift Anti-collision Warning UWB Solution

The UWB base station on the forklift measures the distance from the UWB base stations on other nearby forklifts and outputs a control signal to the relay. Control the alarm and the power supply of the forklift itself, so as to realize the sound and light alarm and emergency braking.


The Principle of UWB Solution for Personnel Forklift Anti-collision Warning

Install the UWB base station VDU2506 on the forklift, and combine it with the sound and light alarm device to form an anti-collision warning device. Through the UWB base station installed on the forklift, the high-precision distance measurement between the UWB work cards carried by the personnel can simultaneously complete the accurate distance measurement between multiple forklifts and between multiple personnel and forklifts. This enables collision avoidance warning between forklifts and forklifts, and between forklifts and people.


In addition, the ranging accuracy between UWB base station and UWB base station, UWB base station and UWB worker card is as high as 10CM, with accurate ranging and small error.

At the same time, the Uwb base station can set the ranging range and early warning threshold according to the scene. When the distance between the two forklifts is lower than the set safety warning threshold, the UWB base station outputs a control signal to the relay after measuring the distance with another UWB base station. Then control the alarm and the power supply of the forklift itself, so as to realize the sound and light alarm and emergency braking.


Application Scenarios of Personnel Forklift Collision Avoidance UWB Solution

The personnel forklift collision avoidance UWB solution is suitable for the safety management of forklift operations in factories, logistics warehouses, ports, and other areas. Forklift and forklift, mutual distance measurement between forklift and workers, avoid mutual collision between them and reduce human accidents. The UWB base station is simple to install, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of various vehicle collision accidents and vehicle rolling-over personnel accidents.



Advantages of UWB Solution for Personnel Forklift Anti-collision Warning

(1) The ranging accuracy is as high as 10 cm, the early warning distance is accurate, and the error is small;

(2) The uwb base station can realize 360-degree real-time ranging without dead angle and is not affected by various bad weather and dust.

(2) UWB Worker Card

UWB work card VDU1501R features

The main control chip of VDU1501R is nRF52832, which can realize low-power standby, sending and receiving control of positioning packets.


The radio frequency chip is DW1000, which sends or receives TDOA/TWR data packets of UWB and realizes high-precision ranging under the analysis of the UWB base station.


The work card label has a built-in acceleration sensor, which can intelligently switch the positioning frequency when the personnel is in the motion state and the stationary state, which can achieve lower power consumption control.


The shell of the badge label adopts ultrasonic lamination technology, which can achieve IP66 waterproof.


The work card label is equipped with a white lanyard, which is convenient for personnel to wear. The badge tag has a built-in motor, which can realize the following three applications:

· Cooperate with the UWB base station to realize the electronic fence, approach or enter the set area to realize the security alarm function;

· Realize the function of personnel social distance detection and alarm;

· It can also be used to send emergency evacuation information, so as to realize the safety monitoring of worker positions in smart factories and construction sites.
